Buttercups Day Nursery provides high quality care for children between the ages of three months and five years, in a safe, secure and stimulating environment where children can learn through play.
A privately-owned nursery, Buttercups is small which gives it a homely feel and enables dedicated nursery staff to work closely together and support children to thrive and reach their full potential. Children are treated as unique individuals and their individual needs and interests are supported and encouraged.
The nursery has a large garden which houses a mature oak tree and a combination of play areas, such as grassy areas, where children can have picnics, patio areas, where children can ride bikes, a mud kitchen, and a nature area to promote exploration and discovery of the children’s immediate natural environment.
Children are provided with healthy and nutritious food which is freshly prepared onsite by the nursery’s cook. Menus are on a three-week rotation and strive to use fresh, seasonal produce.

a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating of all Reviews over all time. For each review the Day Nursery / service is rated Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, Poor or Very Poor on a number of areas eg Staff, Management etc. The Day Nursery receives points for each rating as follows: Excellent = 5. Good = 4. Satisfactory = 3. Poor = 2. Very Poor = 1. These points are added up and then divided by the total number of completed ratings to generate the average rating.
The Average Rating of 4.667 for Buttercups Day Nursery Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (16 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 24 Ratings = 4.667
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 12 months. If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with 'Extremely Likely' or 'Likely' in answer to the question 'How likely are you to recommend this Day Nursery to friends and family?'
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
4 points are available for the first 5 Positive Reviews, 3 points for the first Positive Review and then 0.25 Points for each of the next 4 Positive Reviews.
1 point is available for reaching a target number of Positive Reviews based on 20% of the number of registered maximum number of service users. If the target is partially reached then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery with 50 registered maximum number of service users has a target of 10 Positive Reviews, if it has 10 or more Positive Reviews it will receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews will receive 0.7 points.
If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. The calculation is the same as above, except the points are divided by 2.
The 3.172 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Buttercups Day Nursery Ltd is based on 1 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 = 3
Target of 5.8 positive Reviews (29 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 1 Reviews ÷ 5.8 Target = 0.172

I have found this nursery to be an excellent setting for both my girls. The management team is welcoming and efficient. The staff provide a very high level of care which is a testament to both themselves and the management that leads them. The children seem happy there and do learn a lot in this nursery.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Rebecca G (Mother of Child) on Thursday 23 March 2017. Relates to February 2017.
Our little boy had to start nursery at 5 months. His key worker made the transition enjoyable, fun and most importantly comfortable for him. He loves her and the other girls up there and has never cried when taken in, holds his arms out to them. They work around his needs, nap times etc so he is always happy. We communicate in depth, every drop-off and pick up and I'm always happy at the activities he's been involved in. He is getting a lot out of coming here and we couldn't be happier knowing we choose the right nursery for him. Thanks to all the staff.
