The level of care and support our son receives at Buttercups is great. He is always happy to go and they are always engaged with so many activities.
He also loves going out to the garden and exploring the forest area and the allotment.
All nursery staff are lovely, flexible and willing to help!

My 14-month old daughter started at the nursery a month ago and she is really happy. I was nervous about her starting nursery full time and how she would adapt, but the staff are so attentive and friendly that she settled in quickly. There are so many activities and events that I always feel like she's
had a busy day full of new experiences. I feel lucky to have a place at the nursery - it feels like a 'home away from home' for our daughter.

We are so lucky that our children have been able to attend Ealing Buttercups. Both of our children settled in immediately, and have always been incredibly happy to attend. With an older child now in the preschool, I can really see how the nursery takes care with teaching, both in educational and emotional
terms, and they are really equipping her with the skills to transition smoothly to school when the time comes. Our younger child also loves the baby room and it's such a relief knowing that I am leaving them both in such excellent hands. I have no doubts that they're both well cared for and nurtured.

Excellent feed back and comments from his key worker also asked our opinions and inputs to what we what to achieve with our son and was very excited to implement them with us as a team!! They seemed to care about his development just as much as us as parents which is nice to know he's not just another
child to them.

Great nursery what can I say. My son has been at this nursery for just under two years and Im incredibly happy with the nursery, the team and all the things they do with the kids.
The food appears to be top notch, the teaching (yeah teaching!) is awesome, my son regularly comes home telling us about
things he's learnt (currently its on birds - he likes Sparrows) and the nursery regularly take them out on trips, sports day and so on..
Management and staff are lovely, really welcoming and to be honest I really cant find any faults in the nursery!
They even invite the parents in for pre Christmas lunches and mothers/fathers day tea and cake sessions..
Awesome

My son has just started at Buttercups Ealing and we are in awe of how professional and caring the staff are. Nothing is more scary than dropping your child off to nursery after a year of mat leave but the staff have gently settled our son in over two weeks and really taken the time to ensure he is happy
which is wonderful, we couldn't ask for more. We are so grateful to all the staff for caring for him and for taking the time to share daily feedback, it really means the world, thank you!

Great place for my child's development with teachers taking an active interest in your child's development through fun activities such as visits to the park for bird spotting or visits to a supermarket to teach kids about shopping and money. Cannot recommend Buttercups Ealing enough.

My daughter has been attending the nursery for 8mths, starting when she was 1yrs old. I am extremely satisfied with the care and attention received. Each day I leave my daughter I feel she is safe and I do not have any worries as the staff are extremely trustworthy and display such a nurturing attitude
towards the children in their care. I receive great feedback at the end of each session. I have had nothing but an amazing positive experience with this provision.

Buttercups is an outstanding nursery with an excellent approach to learning and caring for my daughter who is almost two.
What's brilliant about the nursery? The staff are attentive, kind and very well trained in providing care for young children. The nursery management is thoughtful and staff focus
on the right areas. We've been provided with helpful ideas that enable us to support our daughter outside of the nursery (for example, creative play ideas). Every day we briefly meet with a member of staff to discuss our daughter's day. Even though they must be very busy, I never feel rushed and the feedback we get is specific and thoughtful. There isn't an overreliance on technology which would take the focus away from the children.

Overall it has been a good experience so far in the nursery.
The only things I would recommend that I have come across, though this is myself being overanalytical here, are some of the following:
- we pack 6 nappies and the bag is returned with none. And then on the day analysis, it says my child
only had 3 used. Do the things we provide get used for others? If so it adds up!
- items keep going missing or replaced? Then when a child gets sick it just feels like an obvious, though minor factor that doesn't help. Let us know if need to pack extra or more than usual if possible

Our son joined Buttercups at Ealing as an internal transfer from Chiswick. He quickly settled. The nursery is homely, with a number of very dedicated and lovely staff. The lady who heads up the nursery is lovely and approachable and gives good cuddles to the kids when needed. The other staff make such
an effort to make the kids feel at home and go out of their way to put on lots of celebrations, days out, parties and other occasions. Our son is very lucky to be there.

Our daughter has attended Buttercups since she was 11 months old and we have never been happier. She is developing and progressing very well and the staff at Buttercups are excellent. As parents, we have always received detailed feedback about our daughter and have had all of our questions and concerns
addressed in the most professional manner. I cannot recommend this nursery enough and feel extremely blessed that our daughter attends this nursery.

Our son has come on leaps and bounds since starting nursery last month. The staff are amazing - they all greet him by his name each morning and he has a big smile on his face, looking forward to the day ahead. This provides us with comfort knowing our son is in safe hands. Communication with the nursery
staff is great - we are given a daily update with what he has eaten, his sleep and what activities he has taken part in. In addition, we receive regular communication via email with food menus, pictures and special events that are taking place at the nursery. It is a pleasure to deal with all the staff.

Our son has attended the nursery for around 3 years now and is in his final year before moving to primary school. He genuinely loves going in every day, his development has been brilliant and we've always been really impressed with how the staff treat the children and interact with them. It's been consistent
across the different classes and is clearly part of the culture the nursery has built up. The quality of care and teaching is great and they make a lot of effort to get families involved throughout the year. We've recommended Buttercups to all of our friends and family

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.938)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.938) out of 10 for Buttercups at Ealing 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 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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 4.938 for Buttercups at Ealing is calculated as follows: ( (261 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 276 Ratings = 4.938

  • 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 Ealing is based on 23 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 60 number of registered child places is 12, which has been reached with 23 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.
