I'm so happy that I chose Buttercups for my son. All aspects of the nursery have been brilliant and I am completely reassured that he is having a superb day when he is in their care. The staff are very friendly and attentive and my son is very comfortable around them. He is always doing something new
and I know he thoroughly enjoys himself. Thank you to all the staff.

I felt quite comfortable leaving my son for the first time in the baby room, it’s great to see him doing little paintings already.

I can't recommend this nursery enough! My child has been attending for the past 7 months starting out in the baby room and moving up into the tweenie room. He thoroughly enjoys it as they do so much with him including arts/crafts, baking, outdoor play even teaching him makaton. He is thriving at the
nursery and I can really tell how much he's come on since attending. The nursery staff are always helpful and supportive. I have recommended this nursery to a number of other people.

Great nursery, really personable and great with my little boy's dairy allergy. My little boy has developed so much since he joined, regularly coming home with lots of different things from his daily activities. It makes going to work for myself and his dad much easier knowing he’s safe, happy and having
fun.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both my sons are very very happy at Buttercups, both love their nursery days.
The staff are all so kind, and genuinely care about the children, the staff turnover is very low which means they know all the children well.
The food is wonderful, they eat such a wide range of things. They do different
activities every day.
Really glad that we found it!

Absolutely love Buttercups and all the staff there. Both of my children go there and the youngest was very clingy and shy but now will happily go off and play with her friends and the staff which is great to see. Would recommend Buttercups to anyone, both of my children are thriving and are full of
confidence and they both love going there.

So glad we choose Buttercups as the nursery for our little boy. All the staff are so lovely and really helped him settle in well. He does a wide range of activities whilst he is there, is fed good wholesome food and is very well looked after. Would highly recommend.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our eldest child attended this nursery and we had no hesitation in applying for our second child to also attend. The staff have, without exception, always been fantastic. The quality of the care, the activities, the food, everything is great. My only regret is that I sometimes feel like we don't
spend enough time interacting more with the nursery.

We have been coming here for 3 years and I would recommend this nursery. The staff and management are excellent at what they do with the children and including the care they receive.
The staff are pretty much the same faces since we joined so there is familiarity which I think is important for the
children and parents.

Going back to work was very hard after my maternity leave so finding a place where I was happy for my son to be was very important, I looked at a number of nurseries and childminders. But I found Buttercups to be the best choice. My child has loved every day there since going and he gets a big smile
on his face when we pull up to the car park.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Buttercups Nursery is absolutely fabulous, I have 2 children who attend weekly, ages 1 and 2. They both love going and it's a big relief to know they are both well looked after whilst I am in work. The staff and management are brilliant, many a time I have asked for assistance and nothing is too much
trouble, most importantly they are all lovely with my children and I wouldn't leave them anywhere else, if you're thinking of going, just drop in and take a look, a very friendly homely feel.

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.
