Buttercups at Chiswick

We are very happy about Buttercups, our daughter is always happy to go there in the morning, which makes it much easier then to go to work. It has a very homy feeling which is why I had selected this nursery in the first place and I did not want something clinical. They have great activities everyday and the staff really enjoys being with the kids and create really strong relationships with them.

The variety of activities he undertakes each week help him develop his all-round skills so well. We are very happy to see our son enjoy his formative years in a caring and safe nursery and would highly recommend buttercups to other parents too.

They work closely with the parents and give feedback every day for your child. I am really happy my child attends this nursery, could not fault it.

The staff at Chiswick Buttercups are excellent. Everyone is so friendly, they take the time to get to know each parent and even grandparents which are so important. My two children have been at Buttercups since they turned 1 and they are now 2 1/2. They settled well and have been very happy, to the point where they now ask to go see nursery staff on days when they are not in the nursery! There is a very warm feeling, it feels like everyone really cares and that the children have fun. One of the things we love is that if the children are interested in something that has not been planned they go with that interest and spend time exploring that. The staff turnover is very low and when I have needed emergency extra care for one child they have been very accommodating so I didn't worry about anything. The manager and deputy have a real presence throughout the nursery every day which is great. They regularly invite parents into the nursery so you can be part of special celebrations etc.

Buttercups is an excellent small-scale nursery. The nursery has a very strong community feeling and significant attention is paid to each child and their individual needs. The staff commitment is very high and the activities each day varied and fulfilling. I would highly recommend Buttercups to anyone considering a nursery in Chiswick. Our children have attended from 6 months old and have been extremely content and settled.

I have one daughter currently enrolled at the nursery and another who has recently left. I couldn't have made a better choice. They really care for and nurture the children. It's a calm and respectful setting where the children really learn. I feel like it was a great base from which to start their primary education.

We feel very lucky that our boys have spent so much of their early years in this environment.

We have two sons at Buttercups in Chiswick (4 and 2). They have thrived there under the care and instruction of a very dedicated and supportive team. It's been wonderful for their social and creative development and great preparation for going to school. Our eldest son also attends the adjunct Forest School that operates on Fridays and loves it. Our third son will go to Buttercups later this year. We'd wholeheartedly recommend it to parents in the area.

We moved to Chiswick in September 2016 and since I was not working at the time, I spent a lot of time viewing nurseries as I was looking for the right place for my daughterly full time, 5 days a week. She is very active and gets bored quite quickly, that is why I was paying a lot of attention to activities and to how the children were looking (were they bored? were they in a corner? were they silent?). I had time to visit some places more than once to check if my first impression was the right one or not. Chiswick Buttercups was actually outstanding under all points of view and all the times. First of all, the feeling you have when you get in is that of being at home. The tour we were given was extremely detailed and looked sincere (often they are just built up to impress!) and the kids were looking happy and healthy! My partner and I (who are really not easy ones!) are extremely happy, and so is our daughter every morning when she arrives! We could not recommend it highly enough.

Choosing a nursery is no easy task. I looked at every single one in a 5-mile radius. I knew instantly that Buttercups was the one for my daughter and I am now starting my son in the baby room. They key thing for me is the staff. They are affectionate, warm, and never miss an opportunity to teach and inspire. This is reflected in the very low staff turnover (surely one one of the lowest rates around?). In two years, my daughter has never had a change of key worker (except of course when moving up rooms). As a parent, I feel completely engaged in the activities of the nursery, and enjoy the teas/ breakfasts/ fun days/ explaining my job sessions! What I particularly like is that learning themes come from the children, and their experiences, rather than being prescriptive. I feel like the manager is fully there for parents and children - she has proved very receptive to suggestions/ comments and is always available for a chat. Plus, we love Forest School - of course!

We definitely recommend to every parent. Kids enjoyed very much the Fridays at Forest School, which gave them a different perspective on how to handle day to day activities.

My oldest son who is now 6 years old and in year one was very happy at Buttercups for 3 years before we moved abroad briefly in 2014.

Since we have been back, his little brother has been at the nursery since September 2016 and he is doing very well.

We love the place, the caregivers and the pastoral care they provide the children. Will recommend it over and over again to friends and family.

Our son is currently going to the nursery and is very happy. He has developed a very close bond with the staff and is making very good progress in his development. There are loads of activities indoor and outdoors. Excellent monitoring and feedback to the parents. We are delighted!

Every day we are provided with a detailed update of what our child has been up to and also what (delicious) freshly cooked meal they have eaten along with super healthy snacks. Makes me want to attend every lunchtime! When we have been away on family trips, they encourage us to send pictures so they can be displayed in their classroom. They love seeing the photo's around their room and telling their friends about their trips.

Our daughter started Nursery at the age of 2 and was with Buttercups for 2 years. Still have fond memories of the time she started. We are extremely satisfied with the care she received at Buttercups. We have seen tremendous progress in our daughter and the discipline and the routine that was set by the nursery at that early age has stayed on. She has got an excellent foundation thanks to the lovely staff, each one of them has always been extremely cooperative, friendly and forthcoming. They worked with us through all the challenges and bought the best out in our child and for that, we are always grateful and thankful to all of them. The activities for the children are total fun and creative and ensured they were fully occupied. The feedback every day was top notch, telling us minute details of the day, keeping us up to date. The Children seemed extremely comfortable and confident. We would surely recommend the Nursery to a lot of our friends.

They have started a Forest school on Friday's for children over three years and my eldest son absolutely loved this. They give very detailed handovers so you know exactly what your child has been up to during the day and send a weekly news email about all the activities the children have been involved in.

Firstly, I would like to point out I have high expectations and I'm extremely fussy! The nursery is a warm, intimate place with high standards when it comes to the learning and development of children. My daughter spent at Buttercups she has become independent, confident and has really thrived. There is weekly 'fit & fun', imaginative classes, weekly Forest school. The parents are part of the nursery community from attending the Christmas party to sharing pancakes with their children on shrove Tuesday. The nursery prepared my daughter well for school. There are three groups in the nursery - baby room), Blue group with the 2-3 year olds who are located on the first floor. Their room needs an update but the activities and learning there are fantastic. Yellow group has the 3-5 year olds and is a brand light filled space for the busy engaged children. All the staff are fantastic. If you want a caring nursery which values education as much as childcare this may be the place for you.
