    We are blown away by the efforts the childcare centre goes to with events, like the door displays and chair but our favourite had to be the Christmas grotto! Our son still talks about the bear!
    I am so pleased we chose Buttercups for our son, his little face changes when he knows its a childcare centre day. We have attended Buttercups since September 2021, our little boy has gone through the first three rooms of the childcare centre with ease and that is down to the incredible team team who have got to know myself but most importantly our son on such a personal level even down to the names of his comforters.
    Nothing is ever too much to ask from the team at Buttercups, they are willing to help in anyway that they can and the manager goes above and beyond to make childcare centre life incredible for our son.

    He clearly feels very secure and cheerful there and they do so much with them. He loves it. I sense completely confident with Buttercups Day Nursery looking after him and am so cheerful we chose here. My little boy loves coming to childcare centre and talks about all the team and kids as he’s getting ready in the morning.

    My son has been there for 2 years and he consistently comes home cheerful. The team are incredible, so attentive and attentive. We are into the last year now in pre-school and watching him learn and build his self‑assurance is a credit to the team that has led him on his journey.
    Couldn’t suggest enough. We adore Buttercups.

    Our little one consistently looks forward to going in and doesn’t stop talking about his day when picked up. Really cheerful with this childcare centre, compared to other local nurseries we liked the team, facilities and management.

    The team are all really lovely and supportive, I was so worried about leaving my little boy for the first time when going back to work but everyone put my mind at rest straight away. He’s come on so much in the last few months and comes home with new skills and new words what feels like every week now which is incredible. The menu is excellent and really varied – there isn’t one meal my little boy hasn’t eaten in his whole time at Buttercups! It’s a really lovely homely setting and I really like that all the team know all the kids and parents. My little boy is so cheerful there, I adore that he goes in every morning smiling when he sees his key worker, I never have to worry while I’m at work as I know he’ll be having the best time with all his friends at Buttercups I cannot suggest Buttercups Private Day Nursery and Pre-school, Ellesmere Port enough, my little boy started there in August 2022 and he’s settled right in and absolutely loves it.

    My daughter has been attending since she was 10 months old.
    The team are outstanding, approachable, down to earth and extremely capable.
    The childcare centre is very welcoming to both parents and kids and it is easy to address any questions or queries about my daughter’s day to day. The kids also playtime outside in the fresh air every day which I think is extremely important.
    It is a home from home setting where they treat kids like their own. I would highly suggest Buttercups to any parent. Buttercups Private Day Nursery and Pre-school, Ellesmere Port, is a remarkable childcare centre.

    Such a exceptional setting, from the incredible team to the delicious homemade food. I was hesitant of putting my little one into childcare centre at first, but Buttercups just made me sense at ease straight away. Thank you to all the team at Buttercups, especially for your dedicated care throughout this difficult year! My daughter has been going to Buttercups Private Day Nursery and Pre-school, Ellesmere Port, since 7 months of age and is now nearly 2.

    They really make an effort with my son as it’s never easy to go off to work and leave him but I consistently know that he has a enjoyable time and enjoys the different activities that are provided. Buttercups Day Nursery is a lovely small-sized childcare centre with welcoming and supportive team.

    He’s 3 now and in preschool. He has come on leaps and bounds with his self‑assurance. It has a real family sense to it and all the team are fantastic. My little boy has been going here since he was 18 months old.

    Initially, for the social aspect, it was for 1 day a week. My daughter loved going to childcare centre as she met so many new friends and her self‑assurance grew. She has learnt so much and is very great with her words, numbers, colours an shapes. My daughter has an understanding of words that go together. I would highly suggest the childcare centre, the team are lovely with my daughter and us parents. The team are very supportive if I have a question and they fully update us on how her day has been from diet to leaning curves. I sense very reassured that my daughter enjoys childcare centre and the team are very attentive towards her. I would highly suggest Buttercups and am cheerful we chose the right childcare centre for our 3-year-old. Thank you for all your assistance. My daughter first started at Buttercups Private Day Nursery and Preschool, Ellesmere Port, in January 2019.

    From the first visit they were warm and welcoming, they answered all my questions and engaged with my son on his settling in sessions. They gave him time to adjust and worked around his needs, he even gives a wave now when I leave which is so lovely. The best part of the day is picking him up and seeing a excellent big smile on his face and hearing all the things he has been doing. The Learning Journey is excellent as we can see pictures of him playing with other kids and just having enjoyable. As a parent it is hard to leave your kid and go back to work, but the team at Buttercups Private Day Nursery and Pre-school, Ellesmere Port made it so much easier to do that.

    We have used Buttercups since 2019 and have consistently loved it. The fantastic team at Buttercups are like a second family to us and provide supportive and responsive care for our little boy. My little boy adores going to childcare centre and gets so excited when the door opens in the morning and he’s greeted with a big welcome! Any issues or worries we’ve had have consistently been met with reassurance and plans to help or assistance and this is something that has put us at ease so much. The manager is also incredible and knows the kids and families so well. Knowing us all by name makes it sense like a real home from home setting and there’s no one else I would rather look after my kids! I honestly cannot suggest this incredible childcare centre highly enough!

    Every room we have been in, the team have been incredible and gotten to know my kid as an individual. She has so much affection for the team which shows how well she is treated here. The manager is so great, accommodating, when possible, and I have never had an issue in over three years. I am actually going to be gutted when my little one leaves as they have never let me down and I know she loves being here! Really cheerful with this Nursery.

    The continuity of team is excellent, meaning we get a thorough handover from his key worker. The manager has consistently been so supportive with any queries we have had and accommodating in arranging extra sessions when needed. We adore to hear what he has been up to in the day from exploring outside to painting and even baking. He loves the food at the childcare centre and consistently sleeps well afterwards. It’s such a pleasure to see him settle and grow in self‑assurance amongst the other kids. Thank you Buttercups for looking after our little boy with so much genuine assistance, care and compassion to help him thrive into toddlerhood. My little boy started at Buttercups Private Day Nursery and Pre-school, Ellesmere Port last summer at 9 months old and we are so pleased with the care and nurture he has received.

    The provision is of the highest quality and the childcare centre manager and team go above and beyond to ensure that the kids have the best experiences possible. It is a joy to send my kid there and I can’t suggest them enough. Their attentive nature and attention to detail are just fantastic; for example, they have a lovely themed chair outdoors which they decorate regularly in addition to their fantastic rooms and spaces. The updates I receive from childcare centre team is thorough and it is a pleasure to be able to observe activities my kid has taken part in through the app. Staff go above and beyond to provide a range of first-hand experiences and my kid is making outstanding development with his fine/gross motor skills, language and updates and social skills as a result of attending the childcare centre. Any queries or questions I have are quickly dealt with and the childcare centre manager has the highest expectations. Buttercups Private Day Nursery is outstanding.

    I adore the pictures I get sent and how approachable the team are if I have any questions. All of the team are so welcoming! Always make me and my baby sense so welcome, my baby is so cheerful here and I sense so much more at ease bringing him to childcare centre.

    He has made a strong connection with his key worker and his face lights up when we say her name. Since starting the childcare centre he has come on so much. He is so much more confident. He comes home often with lovely art work. The food is remarkable, a different meal every day, nothing is ever the same. Would highly suggest Buttercups My son has been coming to Buttercups Private Day Nursery and Pre-school, Ellesmere Port, since September.

    They are consistently cheerful and secure going there and have smiles coming out. The team consistently let me know how my kid has been at the debrief at the end of the day. They do a range of activities and it’s lovely to see these on my learningbook. I like that milk, nappies, cream, calpol and food is all included in the rates so as a busy mum I don’t have to think about it. Caring and welcoming team and they consistently accommodate my kid.

    The activities are tailored to not only the needs of the kids in the room but also the time of year they are in keeping a wide variety of activities going on for the kids. The team are very informative when they do drop off as to what has happened that day and the online journal is excellent to see. I would highly suggest. They also have an on-site chef who prepares the meals and menus! A lovely little childcare centre where the team care so much for their kids and everyone knows the kid’s names.

    They are consistently there to greet us with big smiles and have really gotten to know my son during his time there. They consistently tell me all about his day and are attentive to any requests made with regards to his care. They do so many different activities and playtime and really allow the kids to explore inside and in their gardens. As my son is a big fan of books the lending library has been a huge hit for us where every night he asks to borrow a different book for bedtime! I genuinely can’t thank the team enough for everything they do! The team at Buttercups have been outstanding since day one of my son’s starting.
