Buttercups at Chiswick Lane offers a unique approach to early years education, combining Montessori and Forest School.

The new Tipi classroom is stocked with Montessori resources for the preschool children, specifically designed to encourage child-led learning. Montessori teachers facilitate the process, building confidence, social-awareness and self-motivation.

The nursery has a fully-enclosed forest school set in a secure wooded area which provides a safe place for children to explore and contains natural dens and a wild field for children to play in. The nursery also has a collection of fruit trees and shrubs as well as a mud kitchen, toilet tent, sleep tent and an outdoor classroom housed in a big shed.

Children can make full use of the climbing and balancing poles and stumps. Snacks and hot meals are provided outdoors in the nursery's outdoor classroom. A skilled team of Forest School leaders have a wealth of knowledge and experience to support children in various activities as they develop and staff work to build strong relationships with both parents and children alike.

If you'd like to learn more about the nursery, please contact the team who will be happy to help.

We find Buttercups at Homefields to be a friendly and welcoming environment. The children are nurtured, engaged in fun and stimulating activities and they have an excellent outdoor space and garden for the children to explore and develop their personal growth. Our son joined this nursery last month.
He had a gradual settling in period over two weeks where the staff supported us through this transition. We are delighted to see our son happy and thriving and so wonderfully cared for by all the staff here.

We love Buttercups Homefields. The staff are lovely with the children and really care. My daughter has come on so much since starting there, I'm often shocked at the things she knows and has learned.

We are extremely happy with Homefields and importantly our son is also very happy there. The nursery and staff are full of joy and we have every confidence that our son’s development in every aspect is in excellent hands. The outside space is incredible (especially for London). I often have to ask for
adhoc extra sessions due to freelance and unpredictable work and their accommodation of this has been amazing. We feel very lucky to have found this nursery and love seeing how our son is growing, maturing and learning from his time there.

Buttercups provide children with a welcoming, friendly and warm environment. Staff work very well with parents in partnership to maximise children's potential.
There is always a friendly face to greet you in the morning. Thank you Buttercups for making my children's early learning experience so memorable.

My daughter has a wonderful time in the nursery. She learned so many things from her teachers. The management team is great and considerate. They always accommodate my last minute requests. The management check emails on weekends and out of office hours too.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My husband and I are happy with the nursery and our child seems glad to attend. She is developing all the milestone skills of kids her age and I noticed how she started to pick up new words, songs and games that she clearly hears there.


The staff are friendly and caring, and I'm especially satisfied

by the fact that activities involving parents are organised regularly.


Occasionally staff turnover can happen unexpectedly and maybe the management should try to work to prevent any disruption caused by reduced staff number.

I find this nursery very accommodating and welcoming. It has everything my child needs and it's location is great.
As someone who worries's a lot I found it very hard leaving my child in the beginning but the staff were all fantastic in the transition period and now my child looks forward to attending
and I can go about my day worry free.
All in all, a great nursery.

Our son has always been happy since joining this nursery. He goes in with a big smile and enjoys his time especially in the garden. The staff are very caring and pay attention to every detail, they carefully respect our wishes when it comes to our preferences and the way we want our son to be cared
for. It really feels like leaving him with another member of the family. The staff at this nursery truly care for the children and I wouldn't change this nursery for the world. The managers are friendly and accommodating and extremely professional.

Current Review Score: 8.8 (8.812)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.8 (8.812) out of 10 for Buttercups at Chiswick Lane is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.9 out of 5 from 4 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.896 for Buttercups at Chiswick Lane is calculated as follows: ( (44 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 48 Ratings = 4.896
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 3.916 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Buttercups at Chiswick Lane is based on 4 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 = 3.375
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 37 number of registered child places is 7.4. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 7.4 = 0.541
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
