Growing Broccoli

I have planted some broccoli which is growing nicely. However I came home today to find all my plants leaves chewed to pieces. On closer inspection I noticed smallish green caterpillars all over the leaves. I picked them all off straight away! What are these and how do I stop them coming back? Any tips would be great. Thanks
