We love Buttercups at Ealing and feel very lucky that our son has a place there. The staff are wonderful, caring and knowledgeable, the garden and inside space are amazing, light-filled and spacious, especially for London. The food that is prepared is better than we can do at home! The activities and focus on fun learning that they give to the kids is also really impressive.
My daughter has been attending this nursery since October 2020. During the height of the pandemic when in-person nursery tours were forbidden, it was a very challenging time to get comfortable with leaving your child in an unknown space. My son attended Buttercups in the past and loved it, so I knew it was a great place and was reassured of this as soon as my daughter started there as well. From her first week until now, she's happy to go in, in a great mood at the end of the day, and loves all of the staff there. The carers are so warm and attentive, always welcoming her with a smile and providing thorough feedback at the end of the day. During the day she has a diverse and healthy diet, plays regularly outside when the weather allows, does arts and crafts, learns life skills and participates in activities that support the early learning skillsets for her age. We even get a weekly newsletter with photos, further reassuring us she's in excellent hands. We love it here!
We are so pleased to have found Buttercups, Ealing. Our daughter started at 10 months old and is now 2.5 years old and has thrived the whole time. The staff are so caring and dedicated and go above and beyond. We love reading about and seeing pictures of all of their weekly activities in the newsletter and our daughter speaks so fondly of her nursery life at home. The manager and deputy manager are always visible and have a real passion for what they do, as do all of the teachers. The communication is excellent and we continue to be amazed at how much our daughter has developed during her time at Buttercups. We also love how much time they spend doing outdoor activities and the great garden set-up. Highly recommend this nursery!
Great place with friendly and trustworthy staff. I've always felt my children were looked after with care and safety. My children have also developed their learning as well as social skills. Highly recommended.
What an amazing nursery. My son has been going there for over a year and I can't praise the staff enough. They are so friendly, accommodative, they keep me updated with how my son is developing etc. Both teachers and management are extremely friendly, professional and experienced. I love how fun and innovative their activities are. I would definitely not come up with half of the ideas they do, if I was looking after my son at home.
My husband and I, are delighted that we found this wonderful environment for our daughter. As first time parents, that work full time we were apprehensive about putting our 10-month-old in nursery. However, from the day she started at Buttercups, she has blossomed into a confident, curious, social and independent toddler, of which we attribute to the nursery. Her teachers are so engaged with her development, every day they do different activities, ranging from singing, to arts and crafts. We are very grateful for the effort they put into her care, looking after her and we are filled with joy when she finishes each day with a huge smile on her face. Thank you, Buttercups, Ealing!
We moved our daughter to this nursery and are delighted that we have. The staff are caring and the nursery involves families in their activities, which we love. We now have two children there and both clearly love nursery days.
My children joined Buttercups Ealing at ten and eleven months old respectively (in 2015 and 2017) and I could not have asked for a better nursery! I have seen it get better over the years and they were amazing during the pandemic. The staff genuinely care about the children and enjoy what they do; there are staff there today that looked after both my children as babies which is rare in early years setting. When viewing in 2015, I wasn’t sure what to look for but the manager emphasised they don’t allow shoes in the baby room (because of crawling babies and asked me to take my shoes off when entering) This became my benchmark when I inspected other nurseries and I soon realised not many observe the rule. Each room is great and I really like how the managers spend time with the children too and not behind the desk all the time. My children have transitioned well into school and I would definitely recommend this nursery. Thank you Buttercups Ealing for an amazing six years. We miss you a lot.
Ealing Buttercups is a fantastic nursery and our child who just started is extremely happy at joining there. It only took going to such a bad nursery where the staff don't care about the children and switching to such a good nursery that you appreciate how much the staff here care and show love for the children. The activities and the weekly updates are excellent. And I love the inclusiveness and the show and tell elements of the nursery. I would highly recommend.
I would thoroughly recommend Buttercups nursery in Ealing. They are a lovely welcoming nursery with a supportive and knowledgeable team who put both the children and parents at ease. They also provide a range of extensive creative activities, as well an outstanding Early Years learning environment to aid young children’s development.
The teachers are dedicated, happy and personable. The range of activities is very good and the extensive outside space means that the variety for the children is significant. The care and feedback in the 1-1 sessions is very helpful and reassuring. Rooms are good, food is eaten and administration is very strong.
I need to say I was slightly worried to send my little one to nursery as he is the youngest in the group. However, he settled very well and is happy at the nursery. The manager and all the staff are lovely and really put my mind at ease when going to work.
Our son has learnt so much from being at buttercups nursery in Ealing.
The outdoor space is fantastic, which offers a great balance of learn and play.
We have been fortunate enough to have both of our children at Buttercups in Ealing. We originally chose it for the genuine sense of happiness that we found when we toured it and this has continued with both of our children attending over the last four years.
We have known Buttercups at Ealing for over six years with our two children having been here from young babies and have always felt completely confident that our children were being offered the best care and learning possible. Endlessly impressed with the activities they do, often things I would have never dreamt of doing at home, as well as the amount of time spent in the lovely garden. The children are well fed and magically seem to eat things there which they outright refuse to eat at home. The manager and assistant manager are ever visible and available and they and their wonderful staff really care about the children. Despite how busy they are, time is always made to provide and receive feedback, issues are raised with action plans suggested and detailed newsletters sent weekly. Handling of the Covid-19 pandemic has been incredible and the level of learning and school preparedness is outstanding. Finally, my child is happy to go in and happy and full of new knowledge at the end of the day.
Our son attended Buttercups at Ealing nursery from seven months old and he is now about to be a three-year-old preschooler. The reason why we chose Buttercups at Ealing in the beginning was because of its location, close to Ealing Broadway Station, as well as this they are part of an Ofsted of an outstanding group of nurseries. From baby room to lilies and daises, my son has received so much care, love and attention from staff in every room, as well as managers at Buttercups at Ealing. He has learnt a lot from day to day and month to month, from a crawling baby to a happy toddler. Buttercups at Ealing staff give feedback on a regular basis, even under Covid-19 restrictions they used virtual phone calls to speak to us parents about our child's development. We especially like the variety of activities Buttercups at Ealing have provided to our son, science experiments and Montessori play are the most mentioned topics our son shares after coming back home. He enjoys his time at Buttercups at Ealing so much, asking to go to nursery every single morning!
Wonderful nursery, fantastic facilities, caring staff and an amazing range of activities for the little ones to participate in. From show and tell, to science week, to yoga classes, my son is thriving and learning something new everyday, as well as having great fun!
Buttercups at Ealing have been absolutely brilliant over this last year whilst dealing with Covid-19 and lockdown. They’ve worked hard to keep the children healthy and safe, while continuing to enable my daughter to thrive in her class. She loves her yoga classes and all her arts and crafts. She’s starting to learn her numbers and letters and feels very proud of herself. She has so many friends who she enjoys interacting with. Overall, I couldn’t ask for a better nursery setting for my daughter. Thanks all at Buttercups at Ealing for all your great work.
Both our children attend this nursery and we could not be happier. The staff are fantastic and work extremely hard to make sure each day is engaging. The manager and the team should be very proud of the environment and welcoming atmosphere they have created.
Our son looks forward to spending time with his friends and teachers and gets really excited every morning when we approach the gate.
I'm glad we chose Buttercups to be our son's second home.
