Review from Kelly L (Mother of Child) published on 27 February 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We really appreciate how hard the staff work to nurture and care for the children. Buttercups are attentive to our son’s individual needs and are very supportive to encourage his personal development. They offer a fantastic variety of activities including Montessori education, which was very important to us when selecting a nursery. He always leaves at the end of the day with a big smile on his face, clearly having had a wonderful day.

Reply from Samantha Renshaw, Manager at Buttercups at Chalfont

Thank you so much for your review, we are delighted your son loves our nursery and all the activities we have on offer.

Overall Experience

The staff at Buttercups at Chalfont have been nothing but exceptional - always friendly, always smiling, and so positive. They truly go the extra mile to accommodate for our son's needs and routine. Our son has recently started at the nursery and we were so grateful to each of the staff for making the settling in process so stress-free and easy, both for us and for our son. They have given us great real-time feedback (including calls to let us know how he is getting on during the day), and the updates at the end of each day are fantastic. We get an email every evening letting us know what activities the children have been involved in alongside some photos, which we thoroughly enjoy looking at. Our son settled in after only a week and now looks forward to going to nursery and playing with all the staff and other children.

Staff are attentive, nurturing and loving. All three of my children love nursery - it is full of fun, a good range of activities and particularly impressed with the teaching in preschool, focusing on letter formation and phonics.

Overall Experience
We are so pleased we decided to send our daughters to Buttercups at Chalfont Day Nursery. They are so happy and can't wait to arrive in the morning and meet their friends and teachers.

I was surprised how much she has learned. She is the most advanced child at her next school. She is able to write her name, do maths, list the planets and continents. Buttercups have installed a love for learning. We are very appreciative.

Overall Experience

Both of my daughters attended this nursery from around the time they were one until they went to school. The younger one left last autumn. I would highly recommend Buttercups - both of my girls have developed very well and become much more confident as a result of their time spent there. Thank you to all of the staff there.

Overall Experience

Buttercups Chalfont has been amazing for us and we would highly recommend the nursery! All of the staff members are highly motivated, enthusiastic and dedicated, creating a happy and caring environment for the children in their care. The nursery adopts a very personalised approach for our two children, definitely not a 'one size fits all approach' which is enormously refreshing and shows their level of commitment and attention to each child's needs.

Review from R E (Mother of Child) published on 7 February 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I felt happy and confident leaving my 12-month-old in the care of the team at Buttercups at Chalfont Park. The settling process was over 4 days, and by day 3 she went in without any tears. She has only been there 4 weeks and the progress she has made is remarkable, she has gone from baby to toddler! The feedback you receive from the team on your child's day is spot on. The setting is clean, tidy, and modern, the teachers set up engaging activities daily, and always mark festivals and international occasions with the children. They take care of any specific needs your child has, and address everything with a genuine caring attitude.

Review from Beth W (Mother of Child) published on 26 January 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I cannot recommend this nursery enough. It's so welcoming and friendly and I feel really lucky that we are part of the Buttercups family. My daughter settled in quickly due to the fantastic staff who truly care about each individual child. At 16 months old she confidently strolls in by herself without a backwards glance and that's because it's a home-from-home. At pick-up, I always receive an anecdote about her day and initially they see which member of staff your child warms to before they assign her key worker. It's things like this that prove they really are concerned with your child's happiness and well-being. Having seen my son go through the entire nursery, I can say that each room provides the same first-class care. The activities are engaging and varied and my son has learnt so much. He has been challenged where appropriate and nurtured at the same time. The two-way communication is outstanding. His development truly has been a partnership between us and the staff at Buttercups.
