This centre has been the best thing that has happened to my daughter. We started her care in early 2023 and she has developed so much in such a short span. At the start of my daughter’s care, I explained to the educators that my daughter was a COVID baby and is extremely anti-social. The educators worked really hard in incorporating peer play and updated me with all the wins and exercises they did. The educators and management team are simply excellent. I have no doubts that this is where I would send my 6 month old son too.
Our child attended buttercups for almost 3 years, it was amazing!! the staff formed amazing bonds with our child and she absolutely loved it here! Would definitely recommend them! & once again thank you for everything buttercups!! We will miss you!
My daughter attended Buttercups Childcare Centre and we had a wonderful experience! The facility is always clean and the staff are friendly, caring and truly dedicated to the children’s growth and well-being. My daughter learned so much during her time there and it was amazing to see how much she developed. We recently moved, so unfortunately, we had to leave, but I highly recommend Buttercups to anyone looking for a safe, nurturing and engaging environment for their little ones. Thank you so much for your contribution my little one’s development.
We have had our daughter at the Northbridge Buttercups for 10 months now and have had a fantastic experience. Our daughter is thriving there thanks to a great team of educators that she loves being around. Amazing communication and organisation. Would highly recommend.
If you’re on the fence on which daycare to choose, pick Buttercups! I cannot rate this company highly enough. My daughter was in the Northbridge centre from the age of 7 months to 2 years and she would have stayed there until school if it wasn’t for me changing jobs and it being closer to my home. The staff are absolutely incredible and my little one has turned into such an independent, polite and social little girl and I put this down to the education and values here at Buttercups. The centre itself is beautifully organised, clean and homely! Would highly recommend!!
We could not be happier with our decision to enrol our son at Buttercups. He has attended for the last 12 months and we have been fortunate to watch him flourish over that time with thanks to the guidance and care from the amazing team. From the moment we enter we are treated like family. The facilities are beautiful and light and it’s the sort of place that inspires happiness. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive. I would absolutely recommend Buttercups.

Yes, we offer a tailored learning program for pre-kindy and kindy-aged children, focusing on school readiness. Led by an Early Childhood Teacher, the program supports academic, social, and emotional development in a nurturing environment.
At Buttercups, we keep you connected to your child’s day through the Xplor and OWNA apps. Receive updates, photos, videos, and details on activities, meals, and milestones.
Information is relayed between educators and carers throughout the day and will be readily available to you at time of pick up to ensure you have the complete picture of your child’s day.
Unfortunately, we do not allow families to provide their children with their own food. Due to the allergies within our Centres, we have a food coordinator that will prepare all meals for the children. Our menu caters for dietary requirements, food allergies, and food requests.
We follow the National SunSmart Program to ensure safety. We check the UV index, schedule outdoor activities when safe, and provide shaded play areas. Both children and educators wear hats and sun-safe clothing.
