The Butterfly Preschool

The Butterfly Preschool We are a termly based preschool in Clapham & Wimbledon, South West London for children aged 2-5 years old, visit With holiday clubs during term breaks.

We have now changed into a termly based preschool for children aged 2 – 5 years. The nursery school operates a 5 morning a week programme which are three and quarter hours long

(8:30am – 12:15pm), as well as lunch club, afternoon sessions and pick ups from local nursery schools. At The Butterfly Preschool our aim is to engage children's ability to learn in a fun and stimulating environment. We fo

llow the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum along with a forest school approach of doing lots of learning outdoors, what ever the weather! The curriculum is carefully designed to make sure every child has the ability to learn in an environment that makes them unique. All our children aim to reach their early learning goals by the time they leave us. With fully qualified teachers and Early Years Practitioners, in a small and homely environment we aim to create a home from home nursery. We still offer crèche for children of any age in the afternoon but have limited spaces so these need to be booked in advance.

🌱 Little minds grow fast with around 90% of a child’s brain development completed by the age of five. These early years matter which is why it’s so important to make sure a child has high quality education from the start, so they’re set up for life. 🧑‍🏫

Our aim is for all children to leave us having achieved all their early-learning goals and to have developed into well rounded individuals, enabling them to integrate into school life and thrive in the future. 💫🦋

We're proud to nurture young minds using the core Montessori principles:

👧 Respect for the child - honouring each child's individuality and desire to learn, allowing them to progress at their own pace
🧠 The absorbent mind - their ability to absorb information from their environment during their early years
🗣 Sensitive periods - a time in a child's development when they are particularly receptive to learning specific skills, such as language or order
🧸 The prepared environment - our classrooms are carefully designed to encourage exploration. They are calm spaces and child-sized
👩‍🏫 Self-education - children learn best through their own activity and self-directed exploration.
