My daughter first started at Buttercups Private Day Nursery and Preschool, Ellesmere Port, in January 2019. Initially, for the social aspect, it was for 1 day a week. My daughter loved going to nursery as she met so many new friends and her confidence grew. She has learnt so much and is very good with
her words, numbers, colours an shapes. My daughter has an understanding of words that go together. I would highly recommend the nursery, the staff are lovely with my daughter and us parents. The staff are very helpful if I have a question and they fully update us on how her day has been from diet to leaning curves. I feel very reassured that my daughter enjoys nursery and the staff are very caring towards her. I would highly recommend Buttercups and am happy we chose the right nursery for our 3-year-old. Thank you for all your support.

My daughter has been going to Buttercups Private Day Nursery and Pre-school, Ellesmere Port, since 7 months of age and is now nearly 2. Such a brilliant setting, from the amazing staff to the delicious homemade food. I was hesitant of putting my little one into nursery at first, but Buttercups just
made me feel at ease straight away. Thank you to all the staff at Buttercups, especially for your dedicated care throughout this difficult year!

My son has been coming to Buttercups Private Day Nursery and Pre-school, Ellesmere Port, since September. He has made a strong connection with his key worker and his face lights up when we say her name. Since starting the nursery he has come on so much. He is so much more confident. He comes home often
with lovely art work. The food is fantastic, a different meal every day, nothing is ever the same. Would highly recommend Buttercups

Can't fault the nursery at all, our youngest has come on so much the last couple of months to which we credit the nursery playing a big part in this.
They are always happy to help and with the obvious uncertainty with Covid-19, they always remain extremely flexible to suit the child's needs.
If
we had any more children and were still local they would most definitely be going to Buttercups.

My little boy settled into nursery within two days of being there. The girls are absolutely wonderful with him and he really enjoys his time here. The nursery keeps you updated with the children's activities and learning skills and I would highly recommend this nursery.

Brilliant nursery, my daughter has been here since baby room and she's now in her final year of preschool and loves it. She is excited every morning to go and has turned into a beautiful clever little girl, and that's down to the care and support she has recieved for the last three years from Buttercups.
Highly, highly recommend.

My little girl has been here since she was 18 months old. She's not long moved into the preschool room and she loves it, always comes home telling me what she has done that day and tells me all about her friends. She adores the girls that work in the preschool room and the rest of the staff across the
nursery.
They are always kind and caring and my daughter has learnt so much, she comes home singing the days of the week song every day.
Staff are a real credit to the nursery and the manager and deputy manager always go above and beyond.

We can't recommend Buttercups enough, our son was shy and nervous around new people when he first attended the nursery, but since attending and graduating to preschool class he has come on leaps and bounds. His vocabulary has improved, his writing, his counting and social skills have all improved massively.
He loves coming on his days in and comes home excited to tell us what he has been up to. Thank you Buttercups for all you do for him!

Our son has attended Buttercups since he was nine months and I can honestly say the nursery have been fantastic. He had a dairy allergy when he first joined and nothing was too much trouble for them, they made sure to order his specific formula in.
He is now in preschool and he loves it. Throughout
this difficult time nursery has been the one normal thing for him and I can not thank all the staff enough for all they have done! Keep up the good work, it’ll be a sad day when leaves for school!

My child attends Preschool three days a week. He absolutely loves it and everyone there! He has come on leaps and bounds since he has attended Buttercups, it was the best decision I made. The staff are all very friendly and approachable. They are amazing with my little one. I would highly recommend
the nursery to people, which I have and now one of my friend's little ones has recently started attending the nursery. Very high praise for all.

My son has been going here for over a year now and it's absolutely wonderful. Such a warm inviting nursery, I had seen others prior and this definitely felt more like a home. The girls are absolutely wonderful, my son is so happy when I pick him up. I have already recommended for another little boy
starting next year.

My daughter has been attending Buttercups for a few months now and she loves it. The ladies who look after her are so lovely and I feel very confident leaving her in their care.
The activities that are planned allow her to explore new things and learn new skills. It always seems like she’s learnt
something new when she comes home!
I’m really happy with Buttercups and would highly recommend.

The care and attention all the staff have shown our son over the last 2 years have been incredible. We will always be so grateful how they have helped him develop into the polite and friendly little boy that he is now. His confidence has come on leaps and bounds since starting buttercups and he is always
so excited to tell us what he has been doing in the nursery and who has been reading books with him and what he did with his friends. We would struggle to pick out individuals as the Manager and the whole team are brilliant. Thank you.

Review from Peter R (Father of Child) published on 30 October 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We were a little worried about signing our son up for nursery as he was quite shy and didn't really spend much time outside of me and his Mum. We saw a couple of nurseries before settling on one and I'm so glad we decided to go with Buttercups.
The first time we went for a visit the manager got down
on her knee to get to his eye level to talk to him before talking to us. I absolutely loved this, it was all about our son and not about us, or money, or anything other than fun things to get him excited and then she went on to tell us all the things they do each day. We actually felt like the staff loved working at the nursery and we weren't being an inconvenience visiting.
Our son was very apprehensive and upset the first few times but it didn't take long before he felt comfortable enough to be there and now I barely get a goodbye before he runs off to play.
He's developed so much more there and he loves all the girls. I can't recommend Buttercups enough!

Can not recommend Buttercups Day Nursery enough, my daughter has attended since she was 18 months (she is now 4) and loves it there. All the staff are friendly and approachable and always have some amazing activities for the children to take part in, the messier the better for my daughter! We will be
sad to leave in September.

Every member of staff greets us with smiles and on a first name basis.
Our boys have attended at Buttercups for over 2 years and both have had warm, welcoming and memorable experiences.
The food is delicious, and the menu options are extensive as well as healthy.
I feel lucky that my children have
been nurtured by the Buttercups staff. They’ve given our boys a wonderful start in life.

Current Review Score: 8.5 (8.460)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.5 (8.460) out of 10 for Partou Buttercups Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.5 out of 5 from 3 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 4.972 for Partou Buttercups Day Nursery & Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (35 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 36 Ratings = 4.972
  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 3.488 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Partou Buttercups Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on 3 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 = 3.25
    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 63 number of registered child places is 12.6. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 12.6 = 0.238
  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.
