Welcome to Buttercups Teddington. This, their newest nursery is conveniently positioned on Teddington High Street and provides a cosy, home-from-home environment. It incorporates Wizard House, the new home for preschoolers, a fabulous self-contained Montessori hall, on the same site.

Buttercups Teddington has a Buttercups-themed Soft Play Room for the children to build their motor skills in a fun and safe environment. The Dance Studio is a fabulous space to get moving, with music and multi-coloured lighting whilst the Art Room is filled with materials to encourage creativity. There is also a large garden packed with toys and natural resources to explore.

In Wizard house, an authentic Montessori education is provided for preschoolers, that nurtures natural curiosity, independence, and love for learning. This dedicated Montessori hall has been specifically designed to meet the needs of their young wizards, with everything at their height, separate areas for different activities and flooded with natural light.

Qualified Montessori Teachers use focused Montessori sessions enabling children to be independent, confident and curious learners.

As with all Buttercups nurseries, the team encourage children to learn through play. This allows them to be led by their natural curiosity, promoting development, confidence and independence. The team adopt a variety of teaching approaches including Montessori and HighScope and they incorporate as much time as possible to engage with nature and the great outdoors.

Buttercups develop the skills and qualifications of the team through extensive in-house training programmes and external courses, allowing them to be the best they can be for all children.

If you'd like to see the nursery for yourself, please get in touch to arrange a tour.

Buttercups is the best nursery in Teddington. The staff are absolutely amazing and they care deeply about all the children. The know and understand every child's needs and stage of development. Their communication is second to none, giving feedback at the end of each day and sending out daily newsletters
so parents know what their child has been learning. The staff create a positively affirming environment which builds the children's confidence. My son started in the baby room at 6 months and he's come on 'leaps and bounds'. I'm so pleased with his developing, which is down to his teachers! I can't thank the staff enough for their ongoing support in helping with the care of our child. It' s no wonder they have been rated Outstanding by Ofsted. Highly recommended!

The best nursery in the area. Such lovely staff and a warm, welcoming and fun environment for the kids. My son started aged 7 months and has flourished under their care. He bounds in every day and often doesn't want to come home! It is no surprise that they recently achieved their 'Outstanding' rating
from Ofsted! I would recommend Buttercups to anyone in a heartbeat. Thanks to all the staff for making my son's experience so wonderful. We will miss you all!

From the very start it was obvious that my child felt very happy and at home. All the ratings are very important, but this is probably one of the most for me :)

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our experience with Buttercups Nursery in Teddington has been nothing short of transformative. My child was struggling with eating solids at home, and this was a source of significant worry for our family. However, the staff at Buttercups were incredibly supportive, patient, and understanding. They
went above and beyond to create a positive and encouraging environment for my child to explore and enjoy food. One of the standout aspects of Buttercups is their exceptional use of the Montessori approach. The way they integrate Montessori principles into the daily routine fosters independence, curiosity, and a genuine love of learning.
Through their gentle approach, tailored strategies, and Montessori-inspired techniques, they managed to help him overcome his hesitation, making mealtimes a fun and stress-free experience.
The Teddington team feels like an extension of our family, caring, and full of wonderful people who are genuinely passionate about children's well-being.

My daughter has developed massively since attending Buttercups. The range of activities they put on for the children is excellent, plus they go into the garden every day. The addition of the soft play is an added bonus.
The staff are attentive, friendly, supportive and knowledgeable. Plus it helps
that it is consistent staff. I am pleased we chose Buttercups for our child and would not hesitate to recommend it to others.

I couldn't be happier with Buttercups at Teddington. The staff are so caring, not just towards my son but the whole family. The facilities are great, the activities are so creative, for my son this is home away from home. He's always really happy to go to nursery in the morning and is beaming in the
evening having always had a great day. I'm delighted we got a place here and so grateful they've been so super careful almost my son's allergy. Couldn't recommend them more highly.

We could not recommend Buttercups at Teddington any more. Our daughter absolutely loves going and adores her teachers! We know she is in the best care each time we drop her off. We are excited every day to see what she has learnt and can't wait to see her develop and more!
Thank you so much for everything.

Buttercups at Teddington has staff that have true love, kindness and energy for the children. They have treated us and our son with such respect and welcomed us into the school at such short notice - we are so grateful. We feel that my son is really excelling. 4 staff members in particular get mentioned
everyday in our house. He is really happy there. It is safe and clean and is really stimulating his learning journey. Thank you.

We have been consistently happy with Teddington Buttercups since our son, now 3, started there 18 months ago. Staff are all always kind, patient, gentle and interested in whatever the kids are into. They have always gone at our son's pace, settling him into the nursery overall and then at each room
change slowly and allowing him to feel safe and secure. When he was unwilling to engage in messy play they found ways to control the amount of mess to allow him to feel comfortable with it, before increasing it so now he enjoys it with the other kids. The additional events are always well done and much appreciated - I'm looking forward to the Mother's Day tea party! Overall we've been delighted that our son is so happy and speaks so well of his friends and staff at Buttercups.

Both our girls have been through Buttercups (the youngest is still going!) and we can honestly say that the nursery, its facilities and of course, its incredible staff have given our girls the best start in life we could have wished for. So much attention, love, involvement and fun - we have nothing
but gratitude for the entire Buttercups team and we're so happy that we chose them as the place to start both of our daughters' journeys of learning and discovery!

Our son has been at Buttercups for four months now and we're super happy with our choice of nursery. He settled really easily which was a relief, and smiles every morning when we arrive. The staff are all so warm and caring. Also love that the learning opportunities include events from other cultures
like Lunar New Year most recently.

Exceptional team, they truly understand the nuances and personality of every child in their care. My daughter couldn’t be more excited to go to nursery every day, which is a huge relief and makes mornings less stressful.
The weekly meal planning by the onsite chef is a huge bonus, rather than having
a set plan 6 months out.
Their social event calendar fosters great relationships amongst the parents and staff.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.987)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.987) out of 10 for Buttercups at Teddington 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 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 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 4.987 for Buttercups at Teddington is calculated as follows: ( (308 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 312 Ratings = 4.987
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Buttercups at Teddington is based on 26 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 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    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 65 number of registered child places is 13, which has been reached with 26 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
