Both my children have been attending since January 2019 and have really enjoyed nursery. They have made friends and the staff are very helpful, accommodating, friendly and feel like family. I would highly recommend.
We love Buttercups, especially the staff, as does my child.
My son has been at the nursery for just over a year and during that time he has developed and grown so much. The nursery has provided a warm and supportive environment in which to grow. The Montessori classes are a highlight of his learning and they allow him to explore new concepts and ideas in a wonderful learning environment. We are very happy with the setting and thoroughly recommend it.
I would like to thank Buttercups Hub for looking after my child. He will miss you all especially two staff members. One member has been amazing to him and also all the other staff. Thanks. Also, another of the staff has been extremely great and helpful.
Our son has been at Buttercups for a few years and has always been happy. There is a great balance of learning and fun, Could not be happier.
The level of care and attention has been good and allowed for our son to flourish. He particularly enjoys the aspects of Montessori which has encouraged his creativity and curiosity always wanting to now explore and do experiments. We really like the concept of Forest School and lots of outdoor activities and a chance for the kids to do outdoor play and "Bend/Strech". We look forward to the daily email updates and weekly sway where we can see the photos and looks of happiness and joy on the kids faces as they interact and learn with each other.
We are just coming to the end of our eldest son’s time at Buttercups Chalfont, and we have another working his way through. We have nothing but praise for the nursery, over the years we have seen a huge level of investment in the facilities, and now the nursery setting is fantastic for children of all ages. All members of staff are caring, but above all seem to really enjoy making learning fun for the children. The addition of the on-site forest school has really made a difference in the way the children think and interact with nature, and this is a pleasure to see. Our eldest will miss the teachers (and the food), but they seem to have prepared him well for the next adventure, school.
My two sons have attended nursery from the age of one through to starting school. They have always been extremely happy there and made some great friends. They are very well prepared for school with a wide range of activities covering Montessori, phonics, Maths, science, daily yoga and of course all the fantastic play in the wonderful garden and forest school. They have invested a lot in recent years in bringing the three rooms up to date with fantastic facilities, very clean and well managed. I would highly recommend Buttercups to anyone.
Our daughter transferred to Buttercups from another nursery and the difference in her and the quality of care is vast. She has thrived since joining Buttercups. It is obvious that the teaching staff here are extremely caring and friendly. The children take part in a vast range of activities, both fun and educational such as baking and learning how to dress and undress etc. The outdoor space for each age group has recently been renovated and is now purpose built. Each week the menu varies and always incorporates healthy food with a good variety. Overall, we are extremely pleased with the nursery.
Our son joined Buttercups just before lockdown and is now back full time. We have been impressed by how well the team have adapted to the new regulations and demands put upon them. We feel that our son is in a safe environment.
One more practical note - drop off and collection are greatly helped by the amount of parking spaces on the business park. It makes such a difference having a quick turnaround in the morning.
My son has learnt so much here, he enjoys his day thoroughly. There is such a range of daily activities, yoga, Montessori, forest school and the fantastic outdoor garden. The nursery has taught my son to be interested in learning, he comes home wanting to try things he has learnt about during the day. The teachers are fantastic, caring and nurturing.
Our daughter has attended Buttercups for 6 months now and is thriving. She happily toddles in each morning without a backward glance and we receive excellent updates on her progress. Although she is always happy to see us when we arrive to collect her she would also like to carry on playing!
I cannot recommend Buttercups at Chalfont highly enough, my daughter is thriving from attending this nursery. The activities, meals and communication are all brilliant. The facilities and activities for 0-2 years are well-suited and effective.
Staff is really good and takes a keen interest in all kids. I can see a difference in my own children. Elder one is being taught well not just the basics of education but also etiquettes, behaviour and interpersonal skills. The little one is well looked after and loved in the baby room. I would highly recommend this nursery.
We have been extremely lucky to find such a fabulous nursery. Every aspect has been excellent and most of all my son has loved every minute. The head of the Montessori in the hub, we will never forget you and appreciate all the hours of work you have put into looking after him and making him 'school ready'. Your passion for Montessori teaching and the love you show to your children is second to none, you have been such a support. Thank you all.
Lovely nursery, very happy with my son's development and all the teachers. The hub is a great place where he has made lots of friends and is happy to return to every day. He's learnt a lot and grown into a confident boy with all the teachers' help, amazingly well looked after and he's so happy.
We are so pleased with our decision to send our son to Buttercups at Chalfont. It has been an amazing experience for my son and helped prepare him for reception. He has loved his time here and we have always had peace of mind that he is well cared for.
Chalfont Park Nursery has been an amazing nursery for my child. The first nursery he went to I was really not happy with and took our son out. Coming to Buttercups at Chalfont was a big step for me. Being a nursery manager in the past myself, I'm very critical but as soon as I walked in I knew I was happy for our son. The Hub has been the best experience for him and us. My son's main teacher has been the most amazing educator for our son, he has been worried about Montessori at times and together we all worked to make him happy with getting involved. We as a family will miss her massively. Hopefully one day we will be back with our second child.
Our daughter went to this nursery since she was a baby and always enjoyed it. The staff are extremely friendly and competent. They helped her develop all the skills and confidence needed in her next steps of education.
The staff are lovely and the facilities are like no other nursery I’ve seen before.
The nursery it’s self is very secure and safe.
The food they provide is lovely, my son always has seconds.
