Buttercup Montessori Kindergarten - Galleywood

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Our daughter has been at buttercup Galleywood site full time since she was 9 months old; now almost two. We are leaving buttercup due to a house move out of area and significant travel time which we have been trying to manage for the past 5 months to avoid moving her due to how happy we were with the
nursery.
The effort and hard work that has gone into building the nursery really shows. From daily greetings in the morning from the owner, toys and property continually maintained, and staff that care for our daughter as if she was their own. Coming from a children social care background in my own occupation, I have been so impressed with the care provided and the effort that goes into ensuring the children and families at this setting have the best experience.
I am gutted to be saying goodbye to buttercup and would like to thank the staff for the contribution they have had in my daughter's development, confidence and the start of her journey in life. Would recommend 1000 times over.

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.

Buttercup Montessori - Galleywood is a great nursery. My son has just left to go to school and has been with the nursery since he was 9 months old. All the staff have been friendly, approachable and professional. They have helped my son develop and grow. They work with you to ensure a consistent approach
at home and at the nursery. My son has really enjoyed attending the nursery and has made lots of friends.

My little boy has been going to Buttercup Montessori Kindergarten since he was 9 months old and he's now 4! He was a lockdown baby and had the worst separation anxiety. Buttercups staff helped me through a very tough year with my son and made every effort to make him settle. He first went to another
Buttercups then changed to Galleywood due to moving house! He enjoyed and learnt so much from being there. I loved the Galleywood nursery, it felt like home. The owner and the staff are always very friendly and would make every effort to welcome your kids! My little boy has just started school and he is full of knowledge from things he has learnt with the team.
Any issues we had, which was very rare, they would address and get a plan in place rapidly.
Highly recommend and will be sending baby 2 in December.
(My little boy would also never really come home with dirty clothes, they take pride in making sure they have a clean top on etc.)
Thank you.

We cannot be more thankful of this nursery and all the team there. Our daughter was so nicely welcomed and she felt from the first minute like she was at home. All the staff are friendly and helpful and the nursery was spotless from the parking to the kid's rooms and playgrounds. Once again, if you
really want to stay relaxed at work or home without stressing that your child will be hurt or feel alone at the nursery, you should try Buttercup Montessori Kindergarten.
With lots of love and kisses.

My eldest son attended Buttercup Montessori Kindergarten and we were so pleased we then sent our twins five years later.
The staff were amazing at settling my nervous boy and they always reassured me when I felt equally nervous about leaving him. He came out of Buttercup very prepared for school, the
transition the nursery provides is brilliant!
I've been so impressed and felt very comfortable with the care my twins have also received. They started at 7 months old. The staff keep to the routine I have in place and for that I'm very grateful. The twins love going to nursery and I feel very comfortable leaving them.

Our daughter left Buttercup Montessori Kindergarten last week after 3.5 years of lots of love, fun, support & learning there.
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!

My son has attended the nursery for two and a half years and he had the best experience.
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!

Our eldest daughter started at Buttercups Montessori Kindergarten around her 1st birthday, a couple of days a week and is now leaving to go to school! She has had a wonderful time at the nursery and always excitedly tells us "This is the way to my nursery" when we are driving in that direction.
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.

As any parent looking for a nursery for their child will know, it’s not an easy decision to make to ensure you find the right fit for your child. Having tried more than one nursery in the local area, finding Buttercup was wonderful.
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.
