Buttercups Chiswick is conveniently located next to Gunnersbury Park tube station and is situated in a 4-storey Edwardian townhouse where each age group has their own dedicated room. The preschool children enjoy the whole top floor with Montessori classrooms. As well as the small but well-stocked garden, older children get to enjoy the mini forest at the nearby sister nursery in Chiswick Lane.

At Buttercups, they believe that a well-cared for team results in well-cared for children. They are committed to making sure staff feel supported, rewarded and challenged and continually develop the skills and qualifications of the team through in-house training programmes and external courses.

The nursery adopts a range of teaching approaches, including Montessori which emphasises children's ability to learn through play and make their own decisions, promoting their independence and confidence as they begin their learning journey. They also encourage children to spend as much time outside as possible, integrating plenty of opportunities for outside play and encouraging a love for nature.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We've had such a wonderful experience with Buttercups, which both our children joined from the age of 1. Our daughter has now moved on to school, but our 3-year-old son is still attending.
Both of our children have absolutely loved their time here - they would run in every morning, full of excitement.
The environment is incredibly nurturing and safe, and we've seen how it has helped them grow into confident, happy children.
What we particularly appreciate is the balance the nursery strikes: it's a place where the kids feel completely at home, but they're also gently encouraged to learn, respect boundaries, and understand structure - all in a way that's age-appropriate and thoughtful.
The management team has been approachable, supportive, and understanding of our family's needs and decisions (like with potty training).
We're so grateful for everything Buttercups has done for our children!

Our daughter is nearing the end of her time at Buttercups and has been very happy for the entirety of her time there (since 14 months old). The staff are friendly , fun, empathetic but firm. Most of all, they are kind. It is a very rare occasion when our daughter is reluctant to go. The friends she
has made and activities she undertakes have been amasing . Thank you Buttercups

In the past few months there have been lots of positive changes to the nursery which made the experience for my son and us as parents much better. The overall experience is so much more positive and with many more initiatives and outdoor opportunities for the children.
The deputy head of the nursery
has done a fantastic job at listening to parents feedback and concerns and has been able to make great changes that have been very impactful on the overall experience of the little ones. They also did a fantastic job in pre school with my son and I am very impressed on his progress.

Both daughters attend the nursery. We love Buttercups. Our daughters enjoy their time at nursery. They've made friends and love their teachers. It's a great environment for them to learn and we've loved to see them develop. The staff are super friendly and very caring towards the girls.

Buttercups has been such a brilliant decision for us. All 3 of my children attended Buttercups Grange Road and I couldn't be happier with it. It feels like a family environment and the practitioners genuinely care. Highly recommend.

This is our second child to attend Buttercups at Chiswick. We are very happy with the nursery - all of the staff and management team are friendly and approachable and professional. Both of our children love/loved coming to the nursery every day. We really appreciated the communication and the photos.
The children love all the activities and we appreciate how varied the activities are. The food is fantastic and they accommodate our daughter's food intolerances. Both of our children have thrived in this caring environment.

Both my wife and I are always very happy with Buttercups Chiswick, where our daughter has been going for over a year now. Our daughter enjoys her time there, she’s very well looked after, learns and enjoys herself a lot. She’s learning a variety of concepts, she’s developing her social skills and she’s
getting used to a lot of different types of food, that is cooked from scratch by their amazing chef. Finally, we receive direct feedback at the end of every day as well as an update on the activities of the day including photos.

Our family have been with Buttercups since 2019 and they have helped care for our two boys with excellence. The staff are warm and supportive and our boys have always loved attending such a happy, encouraging environment which places the highest value on nurturing individuality.

Buttercups is a fantastic nursery. My daughter is in the baby room and the staff there are so warm, attentive and invested in my daughter's development. It is like a home-from-home environment. We receive clear and full updates at the end of each day and pleased to see the range of activities they've
done that day. The staff in the baby room are exceptional and my daughter is thriving with their care.

My daughter and son both have a really lovely time at Buttercups Chiswick and have created some wonderful bonds with their teachers and friends. The activities they do are great for their age and we can see them developing/learning each day. Their teachers are brilliant and we are happy knowing they
are in very capable and loving hands.

Having just watched my daughter thrive in the nursery environment for a mother’s day breakfast the nursery organised, I can vouch for the amazing staff and the education at this nursery! She is so happy surrounded by her teachers and peers, learning new things, socialising and becoming more independent
every day. I am very grateful for all the hard work the staff puts in, how much they invest into each baby and how calm they respond to the babies and challenges!

My child has been attending Grange Road, Buttercups Nursery, since she was a year old and the staff's love and dedication doesn't go unnoticed. Staff have a fun learning structure within the nursery and parents are kept well informed by our daily feedback and wonderful pictures. The overall ethics and
safe environment of the nursery are unmatched. Thank you, to all staff at Buttercups, Grange Road, for giving a homely and safe environment for my child to learn, grow and express herself.

Great place and fabulous people. I found this place like a perfect school for my baby. People working there are very professional, kind and they care a lot about the needs of every single baby. They follow a good routine for my baby and at the same time, they try to make changes if, on a particular
day, my baby has different needs.

In the beginning, we were scared to leave our six-month-old baby at the nursery, but in this place, they give a really good approach to the baby and one-to-one support for better caring, and they give feedback every day and put pictures about the activities and the kids for each day, which makes us
more involved and us to feel better! Very friendly staff and good food. I strongly recommend.

My 21-month-old son started at Buttercups Grange Road, Chiswick, two months ago. The staff have been amazing. The manager was extremely helpful and supportive to help with some specific requirements and they went out of their way to support me. One member of staff in particular and all the girls in
the baby room have been very open, friendly and caring of my son. The atmosphere is very warm and personal. The house is like a home and the kids are like a big family. I have seen my son develop immensely since joining, speaking lots now and we will be moving up to the toddler room shortly. I am very pleased with our choice of nursery. Thanks, Buttercups!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.896)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.896) out of 10 for Buttercups at Chiswick 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 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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 4.896 for Buttercups at Chiswick is calculated as follows: ( (129 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 144 Ratings = 4.896
  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 Chiswick is based on 12 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 42 number of registered child places is 8.4, which has been reached with 12 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.
