Review from Danielle C (Mother of Child) published on 11 September 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Buttercup is such a lovely nursery and I would recommend to anyone. From being greeted each morning, to staff knowing all the children's names as they come in, just shows how lovely and welcoming it is before you've even got to your child's classroom.
Thank you all so much for looking after my son for the past 3 1/2 years he was there. He has grown so much since he started, learnt so many new things, gained confidence and is more than ready to start school next week, all of which is down to you all.
From learning Spanish to weekly dance classes, he's not only learnt so much, but also had so much fun doing it and has made some lovely friends along the way.

Thank you all again.

Overall Experience
Our daughter has been at buttercup Galleywood site full time since she was 9 months old; now almost two. We are leaving buttercup due to a house move out of area and significant travel time which we have been trying to manage for the past 5 months to avoid moving her due to how happy we were with the nursery.
The effort and hard work that has gone into building the nursery really shows. From daily greetings in the morning from the owner, toys and property continually maintained, and staff that care for our daughter as if she was their own. Coming from a children social care background in my own occupation, I have been so impressed with the care provided and the effort that goes into ensuring the children and families at this setting have the best experience.

I am gutted to be saying goodbye to buttercup and would like to thank the staff for the contribution they have had in my daughter's development, confidence and the start of her journey in life. Would recommend 1000 times over.

Overall Experience

Buttercup Montessori - Galleywood is a great nursery. My son has just left to go to school and has been with the nursery since he was 9 months old. All the staff have been friendly, approachable and professional. They have helped my son develop and grow. They work with you to ensure a consistent approach at home and at the nursery. My son has really enjoyed attending the nursery and has made lots of friends.

Overall Experience
My little boy has been going to Buttercup Montessori Kindergarten since he was 9 months old and he's now 4! He was a lockdown baby and had the worst separation anxiety. Buttercups staff helped me through a very tough year with my son and made every effort to make him settle. He first went to another Buttercups then changed to Galleywood due to moving house! He enjoyed and learnt so much from being there. I loved the Galleywood nursery, it felt like home. The owner and the staff are always very friendly and would make every effort to welcome your kids! My little boy has just started school and he is full of knowledge from things he has learnt with the team.
Any issues we had, which was very rare, they would address and get a plan in place rapidly.
Highly recommend and will be sending baby 2 in December.
(My little boy would also never really come home with dirty clothes, they take pride in making sure they have a clean top on etc.)

Thank you.

Overall Experience
My eldest son attended Buttercup Montessori Kindergarten and we were so pleased we then sent our twins five years later.
The staff were amazing at settling my nervous boy and they always reassured me when I felt equally nervous about leaving him. He came out of Buttercup very prepared for school, the transition the nursery provides is brilliant!

I've been so impressed and felt very comfortable with the care my twins have also received. They started at 7 months old. The staff keep to the routine I have in place and for that I'm very grateful. The twins love going to nursery and I feel very comfortable leaving them.
