Butterflies Child and Baby Care Services Limited
Good★ 4.9 on GoogleBirth to 8+Long established
A day nursery in London for children from birth to 8+, open 07:30 to 18:00, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in May 2023. Open since 2014, with 45 places.
What you might pay
This setting does not publish its fees, and no national dataset holds them. This is what childcare costs across the council, as a starting point for the call.
What childcare usually costs in Enfield
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Enfield from the Department for Education's 2025 provider survey. No national data holds what an individual nursery charges, so ring and ask.

What it is like to attend
Children are happy to leave their parents at the door as they are warmly greeted on arrival by kind and caring staff. Children feel safe and secure in the nurturing environment of the nursery. They confidently hang up their coats, eagerly seek their friends and explore the activities.
Staff skilfully use group activities to structure children's learning. Children actively participate in conversations and comment: 'I am making couscous and chopping vegetables' and 'Let me help'. Children learn to cooperate and make friendships.
Staff support children to develop high levels of confidence and self-esteem.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- enhance staff's techniques to ask thought-provoking questions that challenge children's thinking and increase their knowledge to the highest level n support staff to help children to learn about the benefits of eating healthy foods to promote their ability to make healthy food choices.

What to ask them
None of this is in any national dataset and this setting has not published it, which is exactly why it is worth asking.
- What does it cost, all in? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- Can I use my funded hours here? Whether they stretch them over the year, and the minimum days you have to book.
- Is there a place for my child's age? Baby rooms fill first and waiting lists are common.
- Who would my child's key person be? And how long have the staff been there. No dataset holds this and it matters more than anything above.
- Can I visit at a busy time? Mid-morning on a weekday tells you far more than an empty room after hours.
