Superb care of my son who has medical needs. He is always happy to go into nursery. All staff have a good relationship with the children even if they are not their key worker. Care (food and naps) is individual.
Good communication via app. Staff are kind and welcoming to both the children and family.

My child has attended ButterCups Nursery for the past four years and has absolutely loved every minute. As a parent, placing your trust in others to care for your child is a huge decision, but I have never had a single worry.
She is excited to go every single day, which speaks volumes in itself. The

team consistently go above and beyond in the care, support and encouragement they provide. It's clear how much the staff genuinely care about the children, and that reassurance means everything to us as a family. I couldn't recommend ButterCups highly enough.

My little one attends this nursery and we truly couldn't be happier with our experience. From his very first day, he has settled in so well - not a single tear at drop-off, and he's always excited to go. He absolutely adores the staff and even talks about them when we're at home, which says so much
about the relationships they build with the children.
One thing I particularly love is that outdoor footwear isn't worn inside the nursery. Children wear slippers or socks instead, which I think is fantastic - especially with little ones crawling around. It's such a thoughtful touch, and I haven't seen this approach at other nurseries before.
The atmosphere is always warm and welcoming. The team are consistently friendly, positive, and incredibly accommodating.
Having previously attended another nursery where my little one struggled to settle, the difference here has been remarkable. Within just a day, he was happily going to the staff - and that alone speaks volume.

This nursery is such a wonderful place for my daughter. Nothing is too much trouble for them to do. She loves it and cannot wait to be there every day. The staff take great pride in ensuring the care and safety of their children and always tell me and keep me updated on her progress. I cannot recommend
them highly enough.
If there was one recommendation it would be that we have a few more pictures and information about what she does in the day, but we ask and they always tell us what she's been upto. No complaints whatsoever.

Very welcoming and friendly team who care very well for our Grandson 3 days a week. He is excited to attend is extremely happy at Buttercups. His key workers are very knowledgeable of his needs in addition the whole team are very well informed which makes his time at nursery positive. They have been
exceptional in an emergency situation and very supportive generally.

Both my children have attended Buttercups. They have always been very happy attending, never any issues. Staff are always friendly and welcoming. As a mother I have always been comfortable leaving my children in their care. They go into nursery happy and they come home happy and have a great time when
they are there.

Overview of Review Score
The Review Score of 9.3 (9.327) out of 10 for Buttercups Day Care Nursery Ltd is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
- The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.
- The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 out of 5 from 6 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:
- 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.944 for Buttercups Day Care Nursery Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (67 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 71 Ratings = 4.944
-
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 4.383 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Buttercups Day Care Nursery Ltd is based on 6 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
- 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 = 3.55
- 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 36 number of registered child places is 7.2. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 7.2 = 0.833
- When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
- If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
