Amazing staff and a friendly and supportive environment. The activities are really varied and the children are given frequent chances to mix across all age groups. The food is brilliant and all cooked on site! The team are absolutely brilliant and I would definitely recommend Buttercups.

Dedicated staff and great environment.


Buttercups is a fantastic nursery. They provide a healthy, stimulating environment and often focus play around what the children's interests are.
The staff are all really helpful, kind and loving people and will take good care of your children and educate

them to the best of their ability. I have been nothing but impressed with the hard work and dedication the staff put into the care and learning of the children.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our 6-month old has been at Buttercups for 2 months now and she absolutely loves it.
We were a bit anxious at first, but seeing her face at the end of day 1 dispelled all concerns. She was glowing after an active and fun time painting, playing and doing other activities like baking; things we would
never expect for such a young baby. It’s hard to fully describe the buzz that she clearly had during the day or our buzz at discovering what she could do at such a young age.


When we drop her off now she beams wide smiles and is clearly excited about the day ahead.
We’ve seen her development come on leaps and bounds since going to Buttercups Nursery, mixing with other babies is certainly a great benefit.
Buttercups’ nurturing environment and staff were obvious during our introduction walk around in the faces of every child. This is what made our mind up about which nursery to go with. Such a positive and happy vibe.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this nursery to anyone.

Review from Lauren F (Mother of Child) published on 16 January 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have two children who have attended buttercups since September. At first, I was very worried about my little boy; who had never been to nursery before, and my little girl (who had taken months to get used to the previous nursery she had attended) having to start all over again. All the staff were
so understanding and supportive of both children (and me). To my surprise they both settled in really well and bonded with the staff very quickly, which made leaving them so much more easier, knowing that they are not upset feel safe. The staff are approachable and always have time to update you on how your children are doing. They encourage the children and their development. The team are a credit to the nursery. Both my children love attending nursery, they talk about their friends and the staff when they get home. My little girl had problems with her speech and didn't say a lot before September, now she surprises me every day! She is so much more confident. I couldn't ask for any more.

Buttercups is a fantastic nursery that we would recommend to anyone. We are always impressed by how well the staff seem to know our children, even those who are not permanent staff/keyworkers in their room. Our children are always happy to be left at nursery and we are always confident that they are
being well cared for in a loving environment. The opening hours and being open over Christmas have been a fantastic help. The children have lots of space to explore both inside and outside, and the staff do many activities which have definitely helped our children's development. The creativity of activities in pre-school has been really impressive.

This is a wonderful nursery, staff did their utmost to settle my daughter into toddler room a year ago. She has since grown in confidence, which is primarily due to the nursery. She is now in pre-school, excelling there, enjoying learning French. The staff at this nursery are wonderful. They are caring
and make nursery more like an extension of our family.

I have never used a nursery before but the nursery staff were very understanding and reassuring. My son has settled in very well and loves the staff. He is happy going into nursery, he appears to have an excellent relationship with the nursery staff smiling at them and leaning towards them. This makes
us feel very reassured that he is happy here.
The two nursery staff have both demonstrated that they know my sons personality, what he likes to eat etc. other likes and dislikes showing how dedicated they are. We couldn't be happier with how they have cared for him.

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.
