Review from Steph E (Mother of Child) published on 16 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our son has attended Buttercups Chiswick Lane since he was 16 months old, starting in the baby room with Miss Emma, then the toddler room with Miss Ava and Miss Leah, and now thriving in preschool with Mr Calum. He has also been consistently cared for by Miss Ashi and Miss Claudia.
He has adored every teacher he has had. Each educator is highly skilled in supporting the needs, development, and challenges of their age group, and this shows in the care they provide every day.
The manager, Miss Sara, has always been kind, approachable, supportive, and open with our family, and she plays an important role in creating the warm, nurturing environment that makes Buttercups so special. It is a nursery where parents can truly feel confident leaving their children.

We couldn't have wished for a better nursery experience for our son and are so grateful for the care, dedication, and warmth shown by the entire team.

Overall Experience

Harry has been so happy at Buttercups since he started there almost a year ago. I was nervous about him going back in after the long break over Christmas but I'd say it's been his best month yet! I know he loves all the different activities they do and it's been so lovely to see his communication skills develop and for the team to comment on this. We couldn't have chosen a better place for him.

My kids are so happy to go to nursery every day is an adventure, the staff is kind, professional and incredibly good with them! The food is healthy and delicious and the huge garden and Forrest school classes allow them to experience freedom without the need to leave the premises and this is a plus.

Overall Experience
Buttercups Nursery on Chiswick Lane has been an exceptional place for both of my daughters. My eldest attended Buttercups and had the most wonderful experience, and my youngest is currently there - which says everything about how highly we value this nursery.
The team genuinely understand each child as an individual. They are incredibly caring, motivating, and supportive. The Montessori approach is excellent, and the Forest School is incredible, with children enjoying the outdoors in all kinds of weather.
Buttercups Chiswick Lane is a nursery that gives children a very strong overall foundation. When my eldest moved on to school, the transition was incredibly smooth. She left Buttercups confident, curious, and well prepared, with a solid base across learning, communication, creativity, and independence.

The teachers, chef, and entire staff team are amazing. We feel very lucky to be part of the Buttercups Chiswick Lane community and couldn't recommend it more highly.

We couldn't be happier with this nursery. The Forest School is a fantastic outlet for our energetic son, allowing him to thrive outdoors.

The staff are genuinely caring and have become wonderful role models, shaping him into a happy and confident little boy. It is a joy to see him so excited to go in every morning!

Review from Barbara H (Mother of Child) published on 4 June 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son attended this nursery and was absolutely thrilled every single day. It is, without a doubt, the best nursery in Chiswick. The teachers are simply outstanding - warm, caring, and deeply committed to every child's well-being.

You can feel the love and dedication in everything they do. The children are always smiling, joyful, and surrounded by positive energy. The atmosphere is nurturing and filled with care - it truly feels like a second home.

I wholeheartedly wish that every child, in every school, could meet teachers as wonderful as the ones in this nursery. They make an incredible difference, and we are forever grateful. Highly, highly recommended!

Review from Adriana B (Mother of Child) published on 13 November 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son is in the best hands and I wish for every child to be so loved and blessed by teachers like the ones from Buttercups at Chiswick Lane. We are very lucky that our boy could be, literally, "raised" by one member of staff, in particular, who is an actual angel on earth and the manager who is so kind and professional that she should be running a country not a nursery. This nursery is not getting enough attention and recognition! It's absolutely mandatory for them to be praised and celebrated. I could never send my son to any other place and I'm grateful every day that I've managed to find them. Every person there treats kids like a special human being and the respect and care they show towards children and parents is worth every praise. I will forever be grateful for everything they did for us. I wish that they could get more funding because what they already are doing is beyond every nursery in this country.

Overall Experience

The Buttercups team all show an excellent level of care and attention to detail. This is displayed on a daily basis with my child and, particularly, during the settling-in period. Buttercups embodies a true 'family-like' environment which is evident through how happy my child is there. The outdoor space at Buttercups excels and maximum outdoor time is always well thought through. The forest school is a particular stand-out future.

Buttercups at Chiswick Lane is a great place for children to get a good balance of indoor and outdoor experiences. The staff have been caring and fully engaged in helping our little one discover and develop new physical and mental skills. I've also appreciated the effort they've made to teach good behaviour and help little ones develop their social skills. It's a wonderful place all around!

Overall Experience

Our daughter has been Buttercups for about 6 months now (since she was 2 years) and absolutely loves it there. The staff are wonderful, providing a caring, safe and supportive environment to take advantage of the fantastic outside space and Montessori-based activities. We have been so impressed by the effort made to organise Christmas/Burns Night/Halloween/Easter activities for the kids which parents can come along to also. We've recommended Buttercups to quite a few friends and feel so lucky to have found it.

The staff have been great and my child has enjoyed his time at the nursery. He comes back singing the songs he's learned and talking about all of the interesting facts he's been taught. He has enjoyed playing inside and out and made friends. The staff has been accommodating and helpful in every way.

Buttercups Nursery on Chiswick Lane is absolutely wonderful. My daughter is so happy to go every morning and when I pick her up she is beaming from the day that she's had. The teachers are creative, kind, thoughtful and loving. The environment is also excellent, with a lovely indoor space with lots of toys and engaging activities and an immense garden with a fenced-in forest for the kids to explore. We feel very lucky that our daughter is able to spend her days with Buttercups.

Overall Experience

Amazing nursery Buttercups, Chiswick Lane. After visiting many of the nurseries in the area we loved this one and that has been the case for the last year and a half. Great and loving staff. They get to know each kid on a personal level and build a strong relationship with them. You can see this when dropping or picking up the kids that they all have a special bond. Staff is always available for additional support and a chat on the kid's development and progress. They have a mix of Montessori and Forrest school methods with a large outdoor area for the kids to play and learn.

Overall Experience

The staff at Buttercups are absolutely amazing. They have been so caring and have really nourished his curiosity. The balance of forest school and Montessori, delivered by specially trained staff has given my son such confidence and has enabled him to become independent as well as igniting the path of 'follow your curiosity'. The team is so attentive and well-informed. The outdoor space and chickens are an added bonus.

Overall Experience

Buttercups at Chiswick Lane is an incredible place where children spend part of the day doing Montessori activities and the other part playing outdoors in the garden or activities in the forest school. The staff are kind and nurturing, placing emphasis on the well being of the children. Our daughter is very happy and has spent 4 years with the Buttercups Nursery group with over 2 years in this particular setting. I would highly recommend the forest school setting to any parents that would like to learn in the natural environment/woodland setting.

Overall Experience

Buttercups at Homefields is an excellent nursery experience combining top class learning and social environment with a brilliant outdoor space. The curriculum and attention to the children is excellent, and this is clear in how happy our daughter is but also how well rounded she has become during her time. The staff are very friendly and considered, really taking the time to get to know the children as well as going the extra distance to provide thorough feedback to the parents each day. I would highly recommend this Forest School.
