Incredible place. Our 2 year old has been so happy here since she started. Hena and team are so caring and supportive. The activities are at the same time playful and educational, all just so well considered and perfect for toddlers. Thank you!

We absolutely love Buttercups. They go the extra mile and care about our kids so much,

We see how much new knowledge + emotional intelligence are gaining while here. The manager is hands on, always with the kids and makes time for each individually. Thank you for everything.

We have sent our two children here. I would not hesitate for one moment about sending anymore of mine here!

Our children are happy they love going in, their confidence is matured and they are surrounded with warmth and love by the most dedicated and positive staff.

I feel like my son is learning so much @ buttercups. It is great to be able to drop him off and just feel at ease that he is being looked after, learning and making friends. I also appreciate he is eating fresh food for every meal.

Overall Experience

We loved having our daughter here at Buttercups Acton. Everyone who took care of her were absolutely amazing and we have seen her grow so much in the nursery. She made friends, learnt to talk, walk and developed a lot of skills in the nursery and we are very thankful to the staff for taking care of our little one!

Overall Experience
My daughter has been going to Buttercups for about three months and she is now walking in with a smile on her face every morning and a big smile when she comes out at the end of the day.

She even misses the place at the weekends, I can't give a higher recommendation than that!

Review from Max N (Father of Child) published on 3 November 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I just want to say a big thank you to this lovely nursery on Nursery Practitioner Day. From the very start, my son has loved it here. He took his first steps in their spacious, beautiful garden, is learning English as a second language (we're Dutch), and comes home every day with new words, stories, and ideas. The staff are so hardworking, dedicated, and genuinely caring. You can really tell they truly care about the children's well-being and development. They make sure every day is full of learning, fun, and kindness, and they keep us in the loop with a detailed daily newsletter and especially with the daily photo's.

This nursery has such a warm, homely feel. It's obvious the moment we arrive, when my son runs in happily and is always greeted with love and kindness. We couldn't be happier, and I'd happily recommend this nursery to any family looking for a caring and joyful place for their little ones.

Review from Prerna D (Mother of Child) published on 1 October 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our daughter was at Buttercups since she was just a year old, and having now graduated at 4, I honestly couldn't be happier with the care she has received. The staff are so kind, patient and genuinely loving. This was evident from the tears we saw in the teachers' eyes, not just in all of us parents' at the preschool graduation party!
Over the years we've seen our daughter grow in confidence, independence and curiosity. She's made lovely friendships, picked up so many new skills, and comes home full of stories, songs and excitement about what she's been up to.
In the last few months we also started getting a daily newsletter with pictures and details of the day's activities which is really helpful. As a mum, it's such a comfort to know she's safe, happy and thriving in such a warm, welcoming environment.

We're truly grateful for everything Buttercups Acton, Ms Toni and all the lovely teachers have done for our little one in these precious early years.

Review from E Q (Mother of Child) published on 22 September 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter has been attending Buttercups Acton since she was about 1½ and I couldn't be happier with the care, warmth and support she receives here. This nursery is extra special to me because I also attended it around 20 years ago with the manager as my teacher. It feels like a full circle moment seeing my child grow and thrive in the same environment that had such a positive impact on my own early years.
I still remember so much from my time here and I truly believe Buttercups gave me a strong, positive start in life. Now, watching my daughter enjoy her nursery journey, I can see that same nurturing, fun and supportive environment being carried forward.

The staff are incredible, attentive, caring and always putting the children first. The nursery has such a warm, family-like feel and I'm so grateful for all that they do. I couldn't recommend Buttercups Acton more highly.

Review from Lucy H (Mother of Child) published on 22 September 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has been at buttercups since he was 18 months and just finished preschool, he made such a lovely group of friends, the staff have been so caring and important to him since day one, he is happy when I drop him off and happy when I pick him up, loves the food there, and does so many fun activities! Also the garden area is huge so they are outside a lot if not most of the day running around which at this young age is essential. All about learning through play and fun. Highly recommend.

My granddaughter is thriving in a safe and happy environment with excellent care and a positive learning experience. Her own mother attended this branch under the same leadership so I can testify to proven history of success as she is an all rounded individual going into primary teaching herself!

Review from Ana T (Mother of Child) published on 13 August 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our son has been attending the nursery for almost a year now, and he's incredibly happy there - he loves spending time with his friends and absolutely adores his carer who has been kind, supportive, and a real comfort to him. The staff are warm, professional, and create a nurturing environment where he's clearly thriving. The only downside is the lack of a digital portal or app for real-time updates, which would help us stay more connected to his daily activities. Overall, we're very pleased with the care he receives and feel confident he's in great hands.

We've had such a positive experience with Buttercups Acton. It has a warm, family-like feel, and the staff are genuinely caring and build lovely relationships with the children. My little boy has settled in really well-he's happy, developing his language and social skills, and always comes home beaming.

The environment is diverse, welcoming, and supportive. I feel completely at ease dropping him off each day, knowing he's in good hands. It's clear he feels safe, understood, and free to be himself. Couldn't ask for more, really.
