Buttercups is owned by Beth, an experienced, qualified primary teacher and now childminder for the last 6 years that was recently rated "Outstanding".
At Buttercups we believe childhood should be full of fresh air, muddy puddles and magical discoveries. Nestled alongside a beautiful river, our Outstanding home nursery offers a truly unique setting where little ones thrive surrounded by nature.
Outdoor adventures every day - from riverside walks to forest school learning; the great outdoors is at the heart of everything we do.
Feathered friends - our cheerful chickens and friendly ducks are part of the Buttercups family, teaching children compassion, care and connection to living things.
Exciting trips out - whether we're exploring woodlands, parks, National Trust houses, beaches or local spots of interest, our children experience the world beyond Buttercups.
A warm home from home setting - with a small group size and low ratios and a loving attentive approach, your child is cherished, supported and encouraged to be themselves.
Buttercups is a place where children are free to imagine, investigate and enjoy every moment. From riverside giggles to hand on learning we make the children unforgettable.
