Testimonials

My daughter started at Buttercups when she was 9 months old and she adores it. The food is fantastic too with a huge variety of healthy meals and snacks. I’m often amazed (and a little jealous) by what my daughter has eaten during the day!
The staff are really what makes Buttercups so great though. Every member of staff has been professional, caring and friendly.
I always recommend Buttercups to anyone who asks. It’s an absolutely brilliant nursery.

Sarah T,

The staff at Buttercups are always professional, caring and thoughtful. The range of activities they do is really impressive. There is always a good mix of educational activities and play, with lots of opportunities for creativity and self expression. My son thoroughly enjoys himself when he's there.

It's such a pleasure to drop our little boy off at Buttercups each morning; such a warm, welcoming environment with very friendly and approachable staff. I really love the opportunities they provide for outdoor learning and play come rain or shine such as playing in puddles, planting flowers and vegetables, games and exercise.
Our little boy has so much fun and each week he's learning something new. I'd recommend this nursery to anyone.

A fantastic nursery. Would highly recommend. The staff are extremely good with the children. There is lots of outdoor space which my son loves. Excellent resources and toys too. My son also has a food allergy and the staff are so knowledgeable and ensure that my son is safe at all times.

Both our children attend Buttercups and love it. The staff are welcoming and friendly, very approachable at all times and treat the children with genuine love and care. There's a great balance of indoor/outdoor play. The kids' reactions of delight and excitement when they meet the owner or any staff members says it all. It's wonderful to leave them in the knowledge they are so happy and well cared for. Can't praise it highly enough.
