Our boy turns 1 this weekend and he's been going to Buttercups Isleworth for about 3 months. He absolutely loves going to nursery! He's often full of smiles and baby babble when we pick him up. The staff have been very warm and caring which helped him settle in well. My husband and I have been extremely
impressed with his day-to-day activities including mealtime, garden time, messy play and group activities. We love reading the weekly newsletters too! Keep up the good work.

Having had our eldest son at Buttercups Isleworth, I had no concerns about our youngest starting there. The settling in period was great and now he loves going to nursery. I have gone back to work knowing my son is in a safe and caring environment.

I cannot praise Buttercups Nursery, and their staff, highly enough. Our daughter has benefitted from outstanding care since she joined the nursery as a baby, right through to her graduation from preschool this month. The staff are wonderful and each of her key workers has been so special to her. She
has utterly flourished in her time at Buttercups and has learnt so much. There is a huge range of activities through the week and a perfect balance of structure and free-play. The food has always been excellent, with an impressive and varied menu. And the team deserve a special call-out for how fantastically they have managed the challenges of this year.

I could not have wished for a better start for my daughter. She absolutely loves attending Buttercups at Isleworth. The staff have such a loving and caring manner with all the children. My daughter has been attending this nursery since she was 8-months-old, she is now 3 and a half. I drop her off every
morning feeling so reassured that she is in good hands. They always have such a broad range of exciting activities set out for the children.
This really is an outstanding nursery!

I love this nursery, and more importantly, my son loves this nursery. The staff are warm, compassionate, trustworthy, friendly, professional, helpful, caring, clean, the nursery is safe, and so much more. I wouldn’t send him anywhere else, ever. My son has received outstanding care at this nursery,
he has learnt so much and I have such peace of mind that he is safe and happy when he is there.

My son started with Buttercups Isleworth in Dec 2019, at six months old. He is now nine months old. I highly recommend Buttercups Isleworth due to their very caring and kind nature with all the children at all times. The amount of thought and consideration that goes into each day and week is incredible.
I have seen my baby thrive week on week. The nutrition, activities, guided learning and play, has been so beneficial for him. The feedback book we receive daily is very much appreciated and we love the weekly newsletter which details what the focus of the week has been in terms of learning activities. Hygiene standards are excellent. The manager sets the tone of the nursery which is welcoming, friendly and caring from all the staff.

I cannot recommend Buttercups Isleworth nursery more highly. The staff are wonderful and my children adore them. They come home exhausted, telling stories of things they’ve done, who they played with, what they’ve learned. Both of my children went/go to Buttercups and they have loved it and we have
made firm family friends.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son has been at Buttercups for just over a year now. He started when he was only six months old and has absolutely thrived there over his time. The staff are like family to him and they take great pride in his development, learning and also his wellbeing. They have made an incredible effort to further
his development, weaning him, helping him learn to crawl and then walk, eating with a spoon on his own, as well as understanding vocab and instruction and to be kind. Our little one is independent and confident and so comfortable in his surroundings. When he's been poorly, he's so comfortable with their staff and they can settle him before we get home to collect him. He paints, plays sport, attends all of the music sessions, bakes and cooks, dances and does motions to nursery rhymes... all development areas that he has been taught at nursery and we can further develop with him at home on weekends. We couldn't recommend the staff at Buttercups Isleworth enough. They are absolutely brilliant.

Our nearly 4-year-old son has been at Buttercups for a year and has learned a lot, made friends and bonded with the teachers, who care about what they do and put so much energy into it. A variety of activities happen each week, both generated by staff, including singing, early literacy, themed and seasonal
activities, and special activities from visitors, such as sports and music. They report at each pick-up on what the child has eaten (NB. the food is good), and how they've been.

Review from Saritha C (Mother of Child) published on 11 November 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We joined our son in Buttercups at Isleworth when he was 10 months old. Now he is 13 months happily going to nursery all five days/week. In this centre the staff are amazing. They are loving and caring with the kids. Also, they give suggestions to parents on how to cope up with babies at home when they
are away, with the food etc. My son is picking up on social skills, music, learning abilities, table manners. Working parents can blindly trust and leave their child at Buttercups happily with no stress.
They have a variety of food in a week - breakfast, lunch, teatime, snacks, milk etc. probably at home, we may not provide all those varieties to the kid. All 5 Stars to Buttercups.

Our child has developed immensely since being enrolled at Buttercups. She has become better at speech, actions and following simple instructions. We feel that the carers here really give great attention to the development and care of the children under them. We will say that Buttercups is the second
home for our child. We would surely recommend this place to anyone looking for an outstanding nursery for their child. Thanks for everything.

I am very grateful to Buttercups, Isleworth for the outstanding care my son receives there. I don't really talk much to the teachers or other parents about the ins and outs of my sons time at the nursery but judging by his sheer enthusiasm to get up in the morning to get to nursery makes me very happy.
The communication I've had with the staff has been very good and comforting. The facilities and activities at the nursery are very good too.

  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.
