Butterflies Pre-School Team
Caring & Dedicated

Team Leader
Jeni
I have many years of experience in childcare and have been running Butterflies and welcoming children since 1995. I much prefer working as part of the team and with the children so am also a key worker and leave paperwork until after we close. We keep everyday at Butterflies upbeat and positive, they are here to have the best time and will have fun learning through play inside and outside.

Key Worker & Deputy
Hayley
I have been working at Butterflies since 2016, although I've been around since the beginning as Jeni is my Mum. Butterflies is a nurturing and fun setting and I love all aspects of it especially the adventures over the downs. We learn through play and are guided by all the children with what they like to do.

Key Worker & Deputy
Sophie
I have been in childcare since I was 17. I first worked in a nursery for 3 years, I was a nanny for 12 years, then worked at the Children's Trust supporting children with brain injuries. I now work at Butterflies and absolutely love it! I am a huge fan of messy play and extending the children's interests through play!

Key Worker & Senior Practitioner
Alice
I have been working at Butterflies since 2017, we learn through play so are always having lots of fun. I love outdoor play, even in the rain. I will be found splashing in muddy puddles with the children and getting the cornflour and foam out for messy play outside.

Key Worker
Karen
I have worked within the Early Years sector since the 1970's (Eeeek) in many different roles. Safe to say I have seen, heard and experienced most things young children throw at us, but nothing surprises me! The importance of creating a nurturing environment for young children cannot be understated and this you will find in spades at Butterflies.

Key Worker
Kim
I have been working in education for many years. I completed my teacher training in Canada before moving to the UK. I taught in a London secondary school for 8 years. Since having children I have discovered a love for Early Years, teaching forest school and outdoor learning.
