The Butterfly Patch Croydon, Shirley

Welcome to our nursery in Croydon! Our nursery is based in Norman House, Shirley. Here we pride ourselves on individuality. We are unique from our other nursery locations and are a welcoming family.

We encourage learning and play by allowing our little ones to free-flow between indoors and out, as well as self-selecting toys and activities.

We are getting certified in the Curiosity Approach!

The curiosity approach offers your little ones fantastic sensory and learning opportunities to learn through real-life, natural, holistic objects and thingamajigs! At The Butterfly Patch Nurseries, we have taken this approach and added our own flavour to the spaces we have too.
