WELCOME TO GREEN BUTTERFLIES (TODDLERS)
Green Butterflies is our vibrant toddler room designed for children aged approximately 18 months to 30 months, providing a safe, nurturing and stimulating environment where children are encouraged to explore, discover and grow with confidence.
Filled with natural light and offering enriching indoor and outdoor learning opportunities each day our carefully prepared learning environments support children’s emotional wellbeing, independence, communication and language development and early social skills through meaningful hands-on experiences and child-led exploration.
Guided by the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework and Montessori principles, our experienced Early Years Educators provide engaging learning experiences that encourage curiosity, creativity, problem-solving skills and confidence while supporting every child’s individual stage of development.
Children at Green Butterflies enjoy a wide range of enriching activities including sensory play, creative experiences, practical life activities, baking and early mark-making opportunities that help develop fine motor skills, concentration and independence.
Through our Key Person approach, every child receives personalised care, nurturing relationships and consistent support throughout daily routines such as handwashing, dressing, mealtimes and self-care activities, helping children build confidence, resilience and positive relationships.
At Green Butterflies, we celebrate every child’s individuality and learning style, creating a warm, inclusive and language-rich environment where children feel safe, valued and supported to thrive socially, emotionally, physically and developmentally at their own pace.
Children want the same things we want. To laugh, to be challenged, to be entertained, and delighted.

In Green Butterflies the support of independence helps to develop a strong sense of self and gives each child the confidence to thrive innocently and evolve key life skills. They are given the freedom of choice at mealtimes and encouraged to self-serve therefore preparing them for their transition to Blue Butterflies (Pre-school), where development of independence is one of our top priorities in order to prepare them for their transition to ‘Big School’. When ready, educators will support the toilet training journey making it a positive experience moving on from nappies.
Your child’s caring and attentive keyworker will nurture and scaffold your child’s journey through Green Butterflies acknowledging their individual needs and interests. Our ‘Golden Rules’ play a vital role to support children understanding and respecting one another, educators role model these golden rules using good manners and valuing each other, therefore establishing the key British Values.
The keyworker will assess the 7 areas of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS- https://www.harrow.gov.uk/childcare/childcare-choices/2) through a two- year report and a parents evening report and meeting every 3 months. This will help parents and careers have a clear understanding of their child’s development.
