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.

Friendly, welcoming staff. Very polite. My nieces love going to Buttercups, Isleworth, even ask to go to nursery on weekends and they talk about how some of the staff are their best friends. I would highly recommend this nursery.

All the nursery staff I have encountered are wonderful. All very friendly and polite. My son loves going to Buttercups and always returns happy and healthy. It's very helpful to see what he's eaten each day, knowing that it's healthy and nutritional. I always feel like I'm dropping him off t a safe
location with caring staff.

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.

I have been very impressed with how Buttercups at Isleworth has handled everything over the last 12 months. In such challenging times, they have continued to go above and beyond for the kids putting on fun activities and learning for the children. They have been a lifeline for my family. I would highly
recommend it.

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.

The team at this nursery is fantastic - well trained, supportive, open to feedback and innovative! They're always looking for new activities and experiences for the children, like the visit from the police service a month ago, garden bugs hunting or entering young writers competitions!

The whole staff team are great, the care of the children is first class and their enjoyment and development is clearly centre stage in all that they do. The feedback on the progress of our daughter is very comprehensive. Staff also respond immediately to any concerns/questions, however small.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter was a lockdown baby and started at Buttercups when she was 12 months old having lived most of her life under social restrictions. I was therefore quite anxious about how she would adjust when she was not used to meeting strangers and had experienced limited social contact. However, the staff
at Buttercups have been truly wonderful. The settling-in process was gradual and gentle - the staff really understand how to ease the babies into their new surroundings. You really get a sense that they care and are kind and generous with the time they give to each child. I love reading the daily updates in my daughter's book about her activities, sleep and food and of course seeing the photographs of her having fun at nursery! I have been very pleasantly surprised at how quickly my daughter settled in and it is so reassuring to know how well she is being looked after when I leave her. I am so grateful to Buttercups and have already recommended it to several friends!

The word outstanding certainly applies to Buttercups Isleworth. The staff do an amazing job with nurturing and developing the children in all areas from motor skills, communication, socialisation, nutrition and general well being. They clearly have a great affection for the children in their care and
inculcate a gentle nourishing atmosphere.

My son started Buttercups at Isleworth nursery when he was only nine months and now he is four years old and in pre-school. He loves going to the nursery. We are so impressed with his development and growth, thanks to Buttercups at Isleworth for providing all the support, from learning colours, to writing
his own name. All credit goes to Buttercups at Isleworth teachers. I remember toilet training was difficult with him but the teachers helped us a lot, thanks for the support and guidance. We love the staff, all of them are very friendly and professional. We highly recommend this nursery.

My son has attended Buttercups since he was 1 year old. Since that first day, he has loved it. The team do a fantastic job of being caring, making sure the kids are learning and having fun too! He’s made some lovely friends there and I love the daily updates and weekly newsletters where I find out what
he’s been up to - seeing the photos are the favourite part of my week. I looked at other nurseries but was instantly struck by how warm, friendly, fun and safe Buttercups Isleworth felt. Couldn’t recommend it enough!

So glad I made the decision to send my twins to Buttercups at Isleworth. They have developed so much over the last 5 months through the activities they take part in and the dedication from staff (who they have built strong relationships with).
I can leave them knowing that they are receiving the best
care.
The bedding in process was gradual and all staff were happy to reassure me of how they were getting on which was important as this can be a very nervous time for parents. Would highly recommend.

As a parent, I am extremely satisfied with the care offered to my daughter and the learning she gets from being at the day care. The nursery focuses on the overall development of the child through a range of activities like writing/cooking/yoga/music/messy play/outdoor activities/reading etc.

This is a great nursery altogether. The staff are excellent and love being with the children. Our son is four and unlike his previous nursery, he has been placed in a preschool group with peers that are the same age as him, in other nurseries the three and four year old's are often in the same group.
The emphasis on learning covers everything from reading and numeracy to health and well-being.

There are a range of reasons why I think Buttercups at Isleworth has been so good for my second child. These include excellent staff with a caring and nurturing approach, educational focus through play, a large nursery with good outdoor space, a variety of activities and stimulation, an open door policy
and
consistency with the staff group. Any worries that I have for my child have always been met with a keenness and caring attitude. They have always been sensitive and proactive. I have experienced other nurseries and child care provisions like child minders. This has been the best.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.943)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.943) 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 38 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 38 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 4.943 for Buttercups at Isleworth is calculated as follows: ( (433 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 456 Ratings = 4.943
  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 38 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 38 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.
