My daughter has spent her time at Buttercups as a toddler, starting in Poppies and then transitioning to Lavender, and we have been so incredibly happy with the care she has received in both rooms. The teams in both groups have been absolutely amazing, and she has formed such beautiful bonds with the educators and made lots of little friends along the way.
One of the sweetest things is that when we’re getting ready to leave the house, she asks, “Buttercups?” and gets so excited to go. Seeing how happy and comfortable she is there has given us so much reassurance as parents, especially as we had never had a child in care before.
We have loved receiving the regular updates throughout the day, and honestly, my favourite part of the work day is seeing the photos! It’s so lovely seeing her smiling, playing and clearly having so much fun and enjoying her time there.
All the staff have always been so friendly and welcoming to both my husband and I, and Kelsey has always been incredibly prompt and understanding whenever we’ve had questions or concerns, which has given us so much peace of mind.
We are so grateful to the entire Buttercups team for the love, care and wonderful memories they have given our daughter. We will always be so thankful for the special little family she has at Buttercups.

Our boys adore all the educators and are absolutely thriving. The staff are engaged, engaging and absolutely beautiful humans.
The new outdoor area is fantastic, and the learning our kids are doing is fantastic.
A stand out daycare centre in our opinion.
The staff and management truly deserve all the praise for the beautiful culture they create, and the safe space for us to raise any feedback, and our kids to thrive

I could not be more positive about the experience. The educators are long-standing in many cases, with minimal turnover. They adapt to individual children's needs and organise the most fun activities for the children. My 2 who still attend are waiting at the door to go each morning, and genuinely love attending. It makes being a working mum that little bit easier knowing how well they are cared for.
The other families that attend are also so lovely with some genuine, long-standing friendships being formed through the kids daycare friends.
Management (Ronel and Jenelle) are also fantastic and listen to parent feedback.
Updates throughout the day are amazing and always bring me a smile!
I couldn't have found a better centre, I recommend to anyone and everyone who listens!

The team has also been really receptive to her individual medical plan and very attentive to her needs. We really appreciate how diligent they are with things like checking her temperature and keeping us updated, especially as first-time parents.
They’ve also been really flexible and accommodating with her routine. She often arrives later in the morning, and they’re always happy to make sure she gets something to eat if she’s missed a meal or snack. Those little things make a big difference and make us feel like they’re genuinely looking out for her rather than just following a set routine.
We really like the daily updates we receive and the curriculum they follow. There always seems to be something interesting happening for the kids, with different activities and things for them to explore. We particularly like that the Poppy Room has its own backyard area, as they’re still so little and it gives them their own space to play outside.
There’s also another educator (Welsh accent?) whose name I unfortunately don’t know, but my husband has mentioned a few times how attentive and thorough she is during drop-offs. You can really tell she has a lot of experience and is very observant with the children, which is lovely to see.
The centre itself always seems clean and well looked after, and there’s a good amount of parking, which makes drop-off and pick-up easier.
A special mention to Kelsey, the centre manager, who has always been incredibly responsive and thorough whenever we’ve had a question or concern. She’s quick to reply, takes things seriously and makes sure issues are properly addressed. We really appreciate that level of communication.
Overall, we’re really happy with Buttercups and feel very comfortable knowing our daughter is in such caring hands. There are so many lovely educators, students and staff who have made her transition into daycare a really positive one. We’re very grateful to the whole team ❤️
