Our little one has been going here since April last year and he loves it. The set up is really good, lots of little rooms so the children are separated by age group and they have a great garden at the back with separate space for the babies. The staff are really friendly and helpful, they always say
hello and get to know your child even if they are not in their group which makes it easier when they move to the next level as they are already familiar with the staff. The in-house cook is great and our little one loves the food. The staff are also very good at reassuring and giving advice, being our first child it is nice to have that reassurance sometimes. They will also take into consideration and follow any particular request you may have regarding your child.

I cannot recommend this wonderful nursery highly enough.
My daughter has attended since she was 10 months old and has enjoyed every new room and stage at the nursery.
Fantastic long serving team with so much love and care to give the children.
I have recommended to so many as I feel it is such
a great nursery.

Buttercups At Acton is a lovely nursery. It has a real family feel and you can feel the staff genuinely care about each child. They pay very close attention to my daughter's development. Not only do they keep her happy and safe but help to build her character, manners, and discipline. I trust them
completely with her.

My daughter has been with Buttercups at Acton since she was 8 months old. From the very first day to the last, she has been happy and content with all her carers and her environment. I left Buttercups at Acton due to a house move and it felt more like I'd left behind a small family. Not only did all
the girls welcome my child with open arms but they got to know me, my husband and my son as well. I'll never forget the Buttercups team and can't begin to express my gratitude in their part in making my little girl as wonderful as she is today. Thank you.

My son joined Buttercups at Acton in February 2014. He's been going to the nursery full time. We had a great experience as parents and my son has learned a lot. The team is great, fantastic, human skills, my son loved them all!

We have had two children at Buttercups over the last six years. They both thrived there, making really great friends, having lots of new experiences and feeling safe and happy throughout. They learnt the fundamentals of writing, got a good grounding in phonics and numbers and most importantly loved
their teachers and will miss them very much.

I honestly couldn't have asked for a better nursery for our son. He started with Buttercups when he was 10 months old, and since then has gone from strength to strength; he loves going to nursery and seeing his friends and carers.


The team at buttercups are very welcoming and professional and make

you feel like part of the family. On top of this they take first class care of their children, from freshly cooked food served to environment, learning and games and events.


We are relocating in a few weeks, and I wish I could pick them up and take Buttercups with us.


Thank you.

My daughter attends the nursery, she is always so happy when I ask her about her day and the activities she has done. The staff are friendly and helpful and have met my daughters needs. I would have no reservations in recommending them to friends and family.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.909)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.909) out of 10 for Buttercups at Acton is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 44 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 44 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.909 for Buttercups at Acton is calculated as follows: ( (485 Excellents x 5) + (38 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 528 Ratings = 4.909

  • b) 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 Acton is based on 44 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 33 number of registered child places is 6.6, which has been reached with 44 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
