Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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!

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.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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

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.

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.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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!

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.

We have sent all three of our children to Buttercups Ealing and I can’t rate it highly enough. Our youngest started in February and has settled in seamlessly thanks to the wonderful, caring team. Our middle daughter is in pre-school and is coming on leaps and bounds in terms of phonics, writing and
social skills. The staff are kind and have a genuine passion for helping kids thrive and grow. All three of our children have been so happy there and have made great friends along the way. I would strongly recommend Buttercups.

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.911) out of 10 for Buttercups at Ealing 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 31 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 31 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 4.911 for Buttercups at Ealing is calculated as follows: ( (340 Excellents x 5) + (27 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 370 Ratings = 4.911
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Buttercups at Ealing is based on 31 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 4
    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 60 number of registered child places is 12, which has been reached with 31 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
