I honestly couldn't recommend the team at Buttercups more to anyone looking for outstanding childcare - you won't regret it! My daughter has attended Buttercups since she turned one, and has loved every minute! The nursery has incredible family feel (which truly is special) and makes the impossible task of leaving your baby each day more comfortable. Each and every member of staff is so welcoming and attentive, and appear truly invested in my little girls development and wellbeing. She comes home happy each day, and often talks about both her teachers and friends at home! Nursery communicate really well, and we are regularly updated throughout the day with pictures of all the exciting activities on offer.

My 3 children attend Buttercups Day Nursery, all the staff are fantastic and take their time to welcome all off my chilren in as well as a hand over at the end of the day, they do some great activities that are planned around my childrens interests. The Manager is outstanding, she listens to any concerns me and my partner may have and it gets resolved straight away, she also welcomes and take her time to get to know my children when they first started. I would recommend this nursery to anyone who lives around the area, its such a great, loving home environment for my children to be apart off. Thank you so much buttercups.

I absolutely love buttercups. The whole team of staff are absolutely lovely. My child started earlier this year and they have been nothing short of supportive and reassuring (especially in the early days). Its clear that the staff really care for the children and ensure that all of the team develop relationships with each child. My child hadnt been with anyone other than me in their first year of life. Now mine now goes in with open arms waving me off at the door. Their office / management staff (Grace & Claire) are also really helpful. Before my youngest started they helped me get support for my eldest, which I am so greatful for. They always go above to help assist with queries. Shout out to my childs wonderful room staff (Patty, Sophie and Emily )- thank you for my pre work pep talks and for allowing me to go back to work worry free knowing that my child is cared for. There's no doubt that if I have future children, they would attend this nursery.

A fabulous nursery! From the minute we had the tour we knew our baby had to be a part of this nursery family. The staff are so friendly & helpful , nothing is too much and our child absolutely loves coming to nursery! The activities, playtime, themed days and everything else in-between, our baby has flourished and it's gorgeous to see their updates at the end of the day! They are so encouraging with foods, sensory play, walking, talking & dancing, they fully invest in your child & are worth their weight in gold! We are so happy with every day our baby attends & I can't imagine them going anywhere else! The absolute best!!

A fabulous nursery! It has been a real home from home for my little one. The staff work incredibly hard to make it feel like family, so many little touches at Christmas, Easter, throughout the year and a special graduation send off which was so thoughtfully put together. If you’re looking for a nursery for your little one, definitely visit here and meet the team ☺️
