“Friendly, fun, caring, calm environment created by amazing teachers. Our son had come from home-based care, and was an easy transition at aged 2. He connected easily with friends with guidance from the warm, welcoming attentive team of teachers. Thanks Sophie (and Katie, and Anisa, and Sarah)!”

“Fantastic preschool. Kind, caring, nurturing teachers who really take the time to get to know your child and their interests. The small class numbers were a big plus for us. One of my children has been through Buttercups and I felt their daily routine really helped to prepare him for school. I have another child at Buttercups and she is very happy and settled there. Highly recommend!”
