The foundations for virtually every aspect of human development - physical, intellectual and emotional - are laid in early childhood. What happens during these early years has lifelong effects on many aspects of health and wellbeing - from obesity, heart disease and mental health, to educational achievement and economic status.

Papillon Nursery School is family owned and run and operates from purpose built, bright and spacious rooms adjacent to the family home. The nursery cares for children from twenty two months to three years in the Caterpillar class and three years to five years in the Butterfly class during term time.
It is now a well known fact that the first years of life are a very busy and crucial time for the development of brain circuits. Consequently, the impact of relationships and experiences during this time are vitally important and it is a time when the foundations of lifelong health, well-being and learning are formed.
IF ONLY CHILDREN CAME WITH A MANUAL If they did it would need to be a very different manual for each individual child! Parenting can be a tough and sometimes challenging occupation and is often described as the most difficult job in the world. We are always willing to share with you the benefits of our own learned wisdom and experience of child rearing - hindsight is a wonderful thing!
We teach children the importance of keeping healthy and active and create a healthy culture throughout our setting. We provide a healthy snack mid morning and afternoon. This consists of organic milk, filtered water, fruit and vegetables and a variety of bread products; where possible these are organic.

I cannot rate Papillon highly enough. My son had a fantastic two years there and my daughter is now so happy there that she keeps asking to go every day. The staff are fantastic and I love everything about the place. It sets the children up brilliantly for school and brings so much pleasure to both the little ones and the parents.
