As with all Buttercups nurseries, they focus on "learning through play" where the child's natural curiosity drives their learning. They use a variety of teaching mechanisms, including Montessori and HighScope, and believe in the importance of nature and time outside.

Buttercups Isleworth is a large, free flow building, with plenty of space for active learners. They have a separate room for children under 2 and a quiet sleep room. There is lots to explore and discover at this nursery and a huge garden filled with toys and equipment. In the warmer months, the preschool visit Buttercups Syon Park for Forest School sessions.

First and foremost, the warmth, kindness and attention the staff give my son is outstanding.
He has been attending for more than two years and has been happy to go to nursery every single day.
I’m regularly impressed by the activities they do, which reflect a great breadth of skills and interests.
All in all, I am so grateful that I picked this nursery. He has thrived there.

A safe, playful and healthy environment for our children to learn and grow around their friends. They have always come home happy, well fed and full of beans and we feel like we are always able to work with the friendly and helpful staff. Thank you to all the Buttercups at Isleworth staff for taking
such good care of our children.

My child has been attending Buttercups at Isleworth for almost two years and has always been so happy there. The staff are really caring and plan many fun and varied activities for the children. They all have had a good education in child development and I've been so impressed by how they have worked
with my child on specific areas at times, such as speech development. The team are really receptive and work with the parents, for example in areas such as sleep or potty training. The manager is very friendly, professional, communicative and organised. I really value that Buttercups treat their staff well. They also have a healthy and varied menu and my child eats well there. I believe they are somewhat limited in what they can achieve with their outside space but the team plan outings with the children to the local park. Couldn't be more pleased with our choice of nursery!

My daughter has been at Buttercups at Isleworth a few days per week since she was 9 months old and has just turned 2. The staff are excellent, there is low turnover and they all seem to really care about the children. They do lots of activities and have an outdoor area with lots of toys. The food is
varied and healthy.

My daughter absolutely loves going to nursery at Buttercups at Isleworth. The staff are so friendly and helpful and she has bonded so well with them. She is learning new things all the time and is developing new skills, thanks to the staff. The food and meals are great and all the fun games and activities
make her time there so enjoyable. Very glad we got a place here. We also look forward to the daily newsletter to see what she has been getting up to and all the lovely pictures.

We couldn’t be happier with Buttercups Isleworth. I love the connection that all the staff have with our son. They have developed personal connections, and it is really reassuring to know he is loved by the staff. Nursery days are full of action-packed activities, and they celebrate diversity.
Management
has instilled new initiatives such as stay and plays so we can understand what a day at nursery is like. We also have regular parent-teacher interviews to understand learning and development milestones.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been at Isleworth Buttercups since mid-September. The whole process, from arranging settling sessions to starting full days to the first review with her keyworker has been wonderful and very reassuring for a first-time parent!
The staff are very engaged, and the daily feedback from
the nursery in written and electronic form is a great way to keep us updated without feeling like we're being bombarded. I really like the number of opportunities they offer for parents to engage with their children's development.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Isleworth Buttercups to anyone else locally who is looking for a nursery place.

Buttercups Nursery has been a beacon of warmth and care for my 14-month-old son, filling his days with laughter, learning, and love. In just four months, the staff's kindness and dedication have transformed his early years into a journey of joy and discovery. I can see his personality transformed from
being shy to a confident boy. His eating and walking have improved as well. I love that they always have activities catered to their age.
We're forever grateful for this nurturing haven. Kudos to all the staff!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been attending Isleworth Buttercups for the past 18 months, since she turned 1. She absolutely loves attending and regularly talks about the other children and staff with warmth and friendliness. The staff are all really caring and seem to genuinely enjoy their roles and interacting
with the children. The children undertake a variety of activities every day with dedicated daily garden time, meaning they always get fresh air and time outdoors. Not only are they helping create a confident, happy child, but they are also teaching her independence and the ability to do things for herself. It is notable compared to NCT friends at different nurseries how much more capable and independent my daughter is. There is always a degree of mum guilt about leaving her at nursery, but it really is minimal because I know how happy she is there and how well the staff look after her. I can not recommend the nursery highly enough and would recommend any local families to consider sending their child(ren) there.

I love Buttercups at Isleworth. My daughter is always happy to go and happy when she finishes. They are specially careful with kids with allergies and their food checking system is robust. The manager is a great professional and runs the nursery in an excellent way.

Staff are always welcoming when the children arrive in the morning. They are great at interacting with the children and were fantastic at helping my little one settle in at the beginning. It's a great nursery, overall. Genuinely happy we selected this one.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My grandchild has been going to Buttercups for the last two years and is due to leave to start school this September. She has and still is so happy at nursery. She has made some very close friends and she just loves all the teachers. All the teachers are so welcoming and always give updates and feedback.
She plays nursery at home too. She has learnt so much from singing, sports, learning the alphabet and her numbers and colours. She practises her reading daily and has even taught me a few things that she has learnt. Every week there is a big focus subject that they all explore, so no day or week is the same. My granddaughter is so happy there she doesn't want to leave to start school. It is just a wonderful feeling to see her skip into nursery each morning and not have time to say goodbye to me. I would thoroughly recommend the nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.932)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.932) out of 10 for Buttercups at Isleworth 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 32 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 32 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 4.932 for Buttercups at Isleworth is calculated as follows: ( (361 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 384 Ratings = 4.932
  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 Isleworth is based on 32 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 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 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 32 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.
