Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I cannot recommend highly enough Buttercups at Isleworth. The care shown by all the excellent, attentive staff is outstanding. Each child is given individual care and attention as well as promoting group social activities. The children have great fun learning which is of a high quality. The daily communication
book and all parental contact is highly valued, especially the weekly newsletter and pictures which help promote parental inclusivity. Wide ranging learning topics promote excellent all round development, both physical, emotional and verbal. All meals provided are varied and of an excellent standard and much loved by my Grandson. The manager promotes these high standards, she is very supportive and has a superb all round knowledge of every child. The nursery provides the best of care and allows each child to excel.

We started our son at Buttercups at Isleworth nursery in January 2021 at one-years-old and we’ve never looked back! We have seen his confidence grow and can see he is very happy being there. All credit goes to the wonderful and dedicated team. The manager is a fantastic manager who kept me informed
of my son’s well-being during the first few weeks. I love reading his diary every day, and I am impressed (and relieved) that he eats all his food and naps very well there too. I would definitely recommend Buttercups at Isleworth nursery to prospective parents.

My child is in pre-school and I m so impressed with his learning. He loves to talk about his teachers and how he is learning new things every day. Only last week, he learnt about Space and he was telling us all about it. I appreciate the professionalism of the staff. All the staff members are very cordial
and friendly. A special thanks to the manager, she is doing really a great job.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been attending Buttercupsat Isleworth for one and a half years and has had a wonderful experience so far. The staff are incredibly caring and supportive, as well as playful and very happy. My daughter is going through quite a clingy phase which is very hard as a mother, but the way
the manager has handled the situation has been brilliant! I receive daily reassurance that my daughter is doing well, along with photos and videos of her taking part in activities and interacting with other children. She certainly looks very happy when she’s there. My daughter is developing well and is going to be well prepared to start school in September. I can’t recommend Buttercups at Isleworth highly enough. They are a genuine bunch of lovely, caring people, working really hard to make sure my daughter feels cared for and loved, as well as having lots of fun.

My two boys both attend Buttercups at Isleworth. The experience we've had is second to none - from excellent facilities to friendly, engaged teachers. Both boys love attending the nursery and come home exhausted after a fun-filled day with lots of painting and stories about what they got up to during
the day. Food must be brilliant as well, as the forms they bring home usually say they went back for seconds.

An amazing nursery, such a caring and professional team and manager. Every day my son is warmly welcomed. He talks about all the fun and learning experiences he has done. He loves the food and I know it’s healthy and nutritious. Fantastic early education for every child of all ages. I always highly
recommend the nursery to friends.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son attends Buttercups and it's been a fabulous experience for him. We enrolled him when he was only about 6 months old and it was a tough separation for my wife, as he was so young.
Since attending, his development has been superb. He's learning about songs, colours, nature, arts and crafts,
and has made some great little mates that he sometimes sees on the weekends.
The careworkers are top-notch. No matter how busy the place seems to be with all of the kids, they are always courteous, kind, and cheerful when we interact with them. The meals he enjoys while there are well thought out and prepared.
One of our favourite moments was when the kids did a Zoom Christmas concert and we could see our little guy participating with all of the children.
You can't put a price tag on the development and well-being of your child as they adjust to the world, and we're really glad we were able to get our son in and have enjoyed the progress he has made at Buttercups Isleworth!

My 3-year-old daughter goes to Buttercups and loves it. She has made lots of friends and talks non-stop about her teachers. She amazes me with how much she learns every day - from phonics to planets. On the one occasion, they had to self-isolate, the Nursery left a pack on our doorstep and my daughter
had lots of fun cutting out and tracing using the activities they provided. The staff are friendly and caring and the meals they provide are nutritious and tasty. The Nursery Manager is lovely and really cares about each child. I couldn't recommend Buttercups more.

I am very happy with the level of care my son has received at this nursery. His onboarding process was very well thought out and left myself feeling confident that he was in good hands. The staff are friendly, caring and knowledgeable. He has really come out of his shell and his development has been
great over the last 6 months that he has attended. Overall great nursery.

We've been at this nursery for 3 years and absolutely love it. The staff are so friendly, caring and engaging with the children. The nursery manager is very receptive to parents' needs. The food provided is homecooked, healthy and varied. They have a convenient car park too which is so helpful for pick
up and drop off. The nursery has also adapted very well to the COVID19 guidelines. They take great care in sanitising and general cleaning which has been so reassuring, along with bubbles created within the childrens' groups. We are very happy with the nursery and how much they've nurtured my child since his first day at the baby room. Thank you to all the Buttercups Isleworth team - you are all doing an incredible job.

I feel very happy with my son attending this nursery. Staff always try and accommodate and help, even during this pandemic. But most importantly, all staff seem to genuinely care about the children. What more can a mother ask for really.

We absolutely love Buttercups Isleworth and are so glad we chose this nursery for our son. He has been there since he was five months old and is now full time as a two-year-old. The staff are caring and very supportive of his development, which has come on in incredible leaps and bounds. Buttercups
have taught our son everything - he has a huge vocabulary for a two-year-old, he says please and thank you without having to be prompted, he waits for his turn and knows how to share. He is always coming home telling us about the amazing things he has been doing and we love to see the photographs Buttercups share each week, with our son doing activities we never thought to try with him. We are always especially impressed to see photos of a group of two-year-olds sitting so calmly together: mixing ingredients for a cake, engaging in messy play, or sharing family photos and stories with each other at circle time. We don't know how the ladies at Buttercups do it, but they are magic.

Buttercups at Isleworth has provided exceptional care to our 17-month-old son since he was 10 months old. He has loved the setting from the moment he first set foot in the nursery and the variety and quality of the activities, facilities and meals means he is a curious, contented and healthy toddler.
The carers are engaged, attentive and highly observant of our son's individual development and his social interactions. The management team is personable, diligent and communicative and has always been highly responsive no matter how big or small the ask. Overall, we are absolutely delighted with the nursery and would (and do!) highly recommend it to others looking for early years setting.

My little one started in January 2021 and is doing really well. The daily reports are great and he comes home happy and content, having eaten and slept really well, far better than my expectation - the sleeping in particular!
We actually signed up in mid-2020, and have been so pleased with the level
of communication and care experienced all throughout the process of being a client of this nursery, even before we actually started physically attending.

  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.
