If you’re a parent or carer wondering, “How do I find a nursery in East Molesey or Hampton Court?”, you’re not alone. Choosing the right childcare is a big step, and it’s natural to want the very best start for your little one.
From location and hours to food, learning approach and outdoor opportunities, there’s a lot to think about.
Here’s a simple guide to help you on your search — and to introduce you to The Butterfly Patch nursery near Hampton Court.
Step 1: Think About Location and Convenience
Most families start by looking close to home or work. If you’re in East Molesey, Hampton Court, or nearby, finding a nursery within walking distance or a short drive can make daily life much easier.
📍 The Butterfly Patch East Molesey is in a central, convenient spot just 4 minutes away from Hampton Court Train Station, making drop-offs and pick-ups simple for local families.
Step 2: Check the Hours
Not every family has the same routine. Some parents need childcare in early mornings, others need long days.
🕘 At The Butterfly Patch, we’re open Monday to Friday, 7:00am – 6:30pm, offering full-day childcare for babies, toddlers and preschoolers.
Step 3: Look at Learning Opportunities
Different nurseries have different approaches to learning. Some are more academic, others are play-based. Many families in Hampton Court value a child-led, holistic style.
🌱 At The Butterfly Patch, children learn through The Curiosity Approach®, which encourages independence, creativity, and awe-filled exploration through real-world, sustainable materials.
Inside our nursery, you’ll find our beautiful tree house sensory space — a calm, magical environment designed to spark imagination and give children a sense of wonder.
While we don’t have a garden on-site, we more than make up for it with daily outings to local parks, green spaces, and Hampton Court Palace gardens. These outdoor adventures help children stay active, connect with nature, and build confidence beyond the nursery walls.
Step 4: Think About Food and Care
Nutritious meals and a nurturing environment are just as important as play and learning.
🥦 At The Butterfly Patch East Molesey, we provide freshly prepared, healthy meals every day, tailored for young children. We’re moving towards a fully vegetarian menu in the future, but for now, children enjoy a variety of balanced, seasonal dishes.
Step 5: Book a Visit
Websites and brochures are useful, but the best way to find the right nursery is to see it yourself.
👀 We always recommend booking a show-around at our Hampton Court nursery. You’ll get to explore our baby, toddler and preschool rooms, meet the team, and see how we create a warm, welcoming environment for every child.
