Buttercups is a family-run group of nurseries that has been providing outstanding care to children for over 40 years. Our award-winning settings in Acton, Ealing, Chiswick, Brentford, Isleworth, Teddington and Chalfont St Peter, Buckinghamshire are all individually and personally managed. At Buttercups, we see every child as a one-of-a-kind little explorer. We fuel their natural curiosity and give them the brightest, happiest start to their learning journey.

Outstanding Childcare

We are recognised by parents as the 'childcare provider of choice' for children aged 3 months to 5 years. Under the old Ofsted grading we were proud to consistently have a very high number of Outstanding grades. The new Ofsted system does not give a one-word grading, so where we have received inspections under this new system you will see a QR code linking to the full inspection report.

We are still very proud of our very high standards of education and care and strive to be outstanding in all we do. Parents place their children in our care, comfortable in the knowledge that they are in a secure and caring learning environment.

Success - the Buttercups Philosophy

The success of Buttercups is founded upon a fundamental commitment to quality education combined with fun – and plenty of time outdoors. Our philosophy is:

Quality Education – child-led learning incorporating Montessori and HighScope approaches;

Fun – a huge range of activities and specialist clubs including languages, sports and cookery clubs;

Time outdoors – our fantastic nursery gardens give children plenty of time outdoors and include Forest School activities.

At the end of their time with us, Buttercups children leave with confidence, curiosity and a zest for learning.

Buttercups isn’t just a nursery — it’s the start of a wonderful adventure.

Let’s grow together!
