My two sons went to Buttercup over an almost 2 year period, we experienced 3 rooms during this time (two for my youngest who moved up a room). I have nothing to say but good things about the nursery. We have since moved away and I miss it dearly. The teaching staff, the support staff, the office staff - EVERYONE wants to help, says hello, has a smile on their face. You can tell just how much they love the children, and both my sons really flourished there.
The learning is fantastic, the play very varied, they always have a new topic and country of the month. We became really friendly with the staff there over the two years, who i could not recommend highly enough. If you're looking to put your child in nursery, look no further, you really won't be dissapointed!
Both of my boys attended Buttercup from 1 years old and I have always felt they were in the safest of hands. The staff at Buttercup are so attentive and caring and make you feel part of the family. They've not only looked after my boys the past few years, but contributed toward making them the amazing little people they are now. The extras are what make Buttercup special - my boys particularly loved dance classes and learning Spanish. So sad to be leaving but grateful for all that Buttercup have done for our family.
I can't recommend Buttercup Montessori Springfield highly enough. It's never an easy decision who to put your trust in when it comes to your children, however 8 years later and having had all 3 of our children attend, without doubt we made the best possible choice! All 3 have come on incredibly, however have all also honestly loved their time here. They've learnt so much, had so much fun and have been very well looked after, and this is down to the care and attention that the staff have all given since day one. Personally I also feel that we started as parents, but have left as good friends and part of the family. Thank you to everyone for all your incredible work and for anyone else then look no further!
The Baby Room team were incredible at helping my child settle in, but beyond that they were amazing at helping me and my partner adjust too! Their support during those early days made all the difference. As my child moved into Tweenies 1, her little personality really started to shine, and the team there have been amazing at nurturing her confidence and individuality.
From the very beginning, the staff have been kind, attentive, and genuinely passionate about the children they care for. It's been such a joy to watch my child grow and flourish in such a supportive environment.
My son joined the nursery at the start of Jan 25, he has settled so well and that is absolutely down to the incredible staff and team. They are so supportive of each chip and parent, making the process of switching to Buttercups seamless. I'm so lucky to have such a happy little boy who is thriving. It's wonderful to see how excited he gets every morning as we pull up!
Highly recommend. The nursery is purpose-built with a large car park. The setting is clean, modern & well-maintained. There is plenty of room for the children to explore & the rooms are just the right size-large enough to offer freedom but not too big to feel lost in. The garden is a wonderful space for the children to play in, fully enclosed & safe. Safety is a top priority here & I appreciated the strong safeguarding protocols they have in place. Every member of the office team is friendly & approachable, ready to answer any questions. What's also noticeable is the natural rapport they also have with the children. I can only speak from experience with the Tweenies & 2-3 year-old rooms & I've been impressed. The staff in the 2-3 room in particular, were fantastic. They took the time to really get to know my child, understanding their needs and preferences. I would highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a safe, fun and nurturing setting for their child.
With lots of love and kisses.
We cannot thank the fantastic team at Buttercups enough for the level of care they gave our daughter during her time there.
Our daughter joined during Covid so we placed a lot of trust in them as we handed her over that first day without the luxury of settling in sessions first. They were brilliant. Our daughter was used to lots of attention and cuddles and that's what she got there too (always). Our daughter soon settled in and would run into nursery each day and come home happy and excited, babbling about her day. This continued throughout her years there. We were fully supported when we discovered our daughter had a speech and language development delay and we can honestly say she's come on leaps and bounds in that regards, and also her education, behaviours abd confidence which Buttercups has definitely played a big part in, after all she was there practically full time. We highly recommend them!
The staff were very helpful, they made my life much easier when I started potty training.
I love how the nursery is preparing the kids for school by giving them easy homework and teaching them how to get changed for P.E.
From a very shy toddler, my son has become a very confident kid that is more than prepared to start school.
I highly recommend Buttercup Montessori Kindergarten!
All the staff at Buttercups are friendly and professional. Always happy to help (about forms, adding extra days etc.) and could always talk to her key workers if there was something our daughter needed more help with.
Our second daughter will be starting shortly and I am sure she will love going just as much! A wonderful setting and could not recommend highly enough.
My twin girls have been attending since lock down 2019 and leaving to start school. My girls love Buttercup Montessori Kindergarten - Springfield and have formed close friends with the other children. The staff promote grown of the child and supports them learning in their own individual ways. From greeting us at the main door the staff are very supportive and my girls speak highly of their teachers. I feel relaxed knowing that my girls are learning while also forming social connections with their friends and teachers.
We were very happy with our daughter's time at Buttercup Springfield. She made great friends and progressed really well over the years. Buttercup's syllabus and nurturing environment has contributed significantly to this. The fact the nursery is family-run made us trust them to look after our child readily. Their values run along aside our own and we were very happy in every way with this. We were particularly happy with our daughter's experience in 2-3 class as they often went above and beyond what was required. Only slight criticism is maybe meals could be slightly bigger in portions as often the case that she was quite hungry after nursery, although I fully appreciate that at a young age they will be impatient to get back to playing.
My children have attended the nursery since 2018 and I have nothing but positive experiences. The staff are second to none and I feel 100% comfortable leaving my children there knowing they will be cared for. My two boys have made incredible bonds with the staff and children alike. Prices are competitive and the food and activities are of a high standard. My twins will be starting later this year and I can relax knowing they will love it. I always recommend this nursery.
The facilities including outdoor space are, I believe, unrivalled in the area. More important however are the staff. Each and every member of the team that I’ve met are exceptional both in terms of their job role but their real passion for children.
I have three children, two of whom both attended Buttercup Montessori Kindergarten - Springfield and are now in school. The Montessori structure and routine they followed here set them up perfectly. My youngest child has settled comfortably well and is now thriving in the nurturing environment. She is making friends and greets me happily with her displays of ‘art’ when I collect her. The smile on her face is all the reassurance I need that I 100% wouldn’t send her elsewhere.
This nursery is absolutely excellent. The staff are all well qualified and experienced, and always happy to take time to have one to one discussions about the children. I have two children at this nursery and they have both made long lasting friendships with the other children and the staff. The children have dance and Spanish classes which they absolutely love, and my four-year-old is now reading because of the work the nursery have done with her on phonics! They have nutritious, home cooked meals in a top rated hygienic kitchen and the facilities are absolutely wonderful. The children have the chance to play in the well-equipped garden, learn new things and relax in a comfortable area reading stories and playing games with the staff. 100% would recommend.
