Just like that Aurora’s time at Buttercup has finished. I cannot thank Kimberley and her amazing Team enough for all of the support, cuddles, laughs and smiles you’ve given her over the last 4 years. She’s made… memories and friends she’ll have for life and Buttercup will always be part of our family. You’ve helped mould her into the superhero she is today and we couldn’t be more grateful and she couldn’t be more ready for starting big school- all thanks to you! The team are hands on , exceptionally patient and on hand all day. Couldn’t have

I couldn’t recommend this nursery enough!! My daughter has been going to nursery now for over 6 months and has come on leaps and bounds with her development. She has the biggest smile when we arrive and is always greeted by loving and caring staff who go above and beyond to ensure she has the best time at nursery. Day sheets are clear and full of… information of the exciting day she has had. We use an app called spark where I can see her observations and pictures which is lovely to see how much fun she has in a safe, secure and educational nursery. WE LOVE BUTTERCUP CORNER DAY NURSERY

I would recommend this nursery a 5/5, a 10 if I could! All the staff right up to management are friendly and helpful at all times. After a tough start in life I was very worried about putting my daughter in… childcare but she is so happy l, looked after and cared for by all the staff at Buttercup corner! Every day she is exploring different toys and learning new things whilst having fun in a safe friendly environment. If I could bottle up the enthusiasm, smiles and kindness of all the staff and sell it the world would be a much better place to live! The food variety is fantastic offering

Amazing service from an amazing team. Very welcoming, leaving the little ones in child care for the first time is scary but these will make you feel at ease and reassured they are in good hands.
