About
Cathy Crinigan
Owner
Butterflies Crèche & Montessori is a private enterprise, owned
and operated by Cathy Crinigan. It is on the grounds of the
listed 'Lusk House' which once housed the British army officers
of Remount Farm, training combat horses for WW1. The crèche
operates out of a series of buildings that make up 'The Coach
House' which was restored in 1995 and modified as a school in
2009. The doors opened in 2010 with only 2 children in attendance.
We have grown since then with many more little butterflies in our
care. We have fowl on the grounds which we often visit to enhance
our nature modules, so keep an eye out for chickens on the run!
Team
All Butterflies Crèche staff are passionate about what they do. It's why they are with is and most have been with us since the day our doors opened! To add to that, they all have paediatric first aid and manual handling & fire safety training. Several staff members also have HACCAP Food Safety Training and all have recently completed GDPR awareness training.
