What Families Think Of Us
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.
Choosing Buttercups Mindarie was the best decision for my child’s early development and well-being. The clean, inviting environment, engaging toys, and learning materials make it a joy for children.
The staff are exceptional—caring, professional, and attentive. They’ve built a personal bond with my daughter, helping her thrive through programs like art, music, and early literacy. She’s grown in skills and confidence while developing a love for learning.
I highly recommend Buttercups!
A truly unique child care centre that provides top care for children. The staff are very professional and passionate about what they do. The environment is very warm and welcoming. I highly recommend this place.
We have had a wonderful experience at Buttercups Mindarie. My son has been attending since the centre opened. All the educators are extremely kind, caring and supportive. They do such a good job at connecting with my child to develop his skills and interests. I love seeing the daily updates and photos on the parent app. As parents that work full time, this is so lovely to see and always puts a huge smile on our faces when we’re at work.
From day one Holly and all the educators made me and my family feel extremely welcome and gave great reassurance that my daughter would be well cared for as it was her first time going to daycare. AMAZING staff with so much heart and caring mindset. The educators really make an effort to engage the kids and develop them in a very individualised way.
We highly recommend Buttercups for anyone looking for care for their little ones. Watching my baby being happy and having a great day, makes us happy parents. We’re very thankful to the whole team.
I was so hesitant to start our little one into daycare but it is evident he has such a wonderful time there and I always feel so confident dropping him off that he will be well cared for. All the staff are wonderful and caring, great communication via the app and so many activities for the kids to do. Couldn’t recommend this daycare enough!
My daughter loves all of the educators and Centre Director at Buttercup Highgate. We are regularly updated on her activities throughout the day – communication is great. She enjoys the meals there and loves to involve herself in the activities.
Highly recommend this centre ! All the staff are amazing and welcoming! my daughter has settled in straight away even asking to go for extra days 🙂
Our daughter started attending a few months ago when she was just 5-ish months. The staff have gone above and beyond to help her settle in and feel comfortable. They have been extremely flexible in catering to her needs and the communication is great! The staff are amazing, my wife and I can’t recommend them enough.
Highly recommend this centre! Staff are amazing with the kids and parents. Kids are all happy and well looked after. My 10 month old has settled in amazingly which is an absolute props to the staff. Thanks girls!
My daughter started going to Buttercups when it first opened and we love the educators and their programs. My daughter is always happy to be there and she learnt a lot, from soft skills such as sharing, taking turns, packing away to recognising shapes, colours, letters, numbers, tracing and writing.
We always get an update every day on what they do for the day and the bits that I love is that they also provide monthly update on personal development and goal.
Great daycare! We moved to the area last year with our almost 2 yro. The educators cared and took their time to help my son settled in. He really loves being here. I love the learning by play concept and have noticed such growth in my son in terms of learning. Overall, highly recommend this daycare if you live in the area!
My three children have loved Buttercups Hammond Park from their first day. We don’t ever have tears at drop off and they are excited to get to daycare every day. The management team and educators are fantastic. I have had a child in every room of the centre and have been happy with the experience from the baby nursery all the way through to the kindy room.
Buttercups Childcare have been so welcoming. My son has attended for 2 months now and already connected so well with everyone. The staff are really helpful and accommodating. They have really fun and engaging activities and have helped build my son’s confidence.
My daughter honestly loves it here. Frequently gives the educators big cuddles and boops on their noses! She comes home happy every day, well fed and loved. They are always doing fun and engaging activities with the kids every day. Definitely recommend this centre to anyone!
My children have been going here since it opened. The centre looks great, the staff are very warm and welcoming and my favourite part is looking the photos of my children’s day where I can see they participate in a wide variety of activities all day long.
Top class centre, the staff are absolutely lovely… highly recommend!! There’s a huge waiting list for a reason!
Lovely group of educators. As a mum, I felt very welcome in the centre and comfortable leaving my 18-month-old son in their care. Would definitely recommend to another parent.
We made the greatest decision for our little one commencing him with Buttercups Beechboro. From the first moment we spoke and met with Krystal and Lauren, we knew we were making a great decision. Our son settled in perfectly and he was welcomed by the amazing staff and his new friends. Amazing facility, amazing staff, and our son is the happiest he’s ever been. Thank you all soooo much for all the care and support you give our son!
Overall appears to be a high quality establishment and happy with the service.
The Best in The Business! We entrusted our two children to Buttercups Childcare Beechboro and our experience has been nothing short of excellent. Their commitment to meeting all the complex requirements of a really high functioning child care service and going the extra mile to ensure the comfort and safety of our children. They handled the care and food preparation for our son who has anaphylaxis to dairy and peanuts with aplomb. Well done, keep up the good work.
If you’re seeking a daycare with a warm, family atmosphere where your child is truly known and valued, look no further than Buttercups Bassendean. The dedicated staff go above and beyond to understand both you and your child, making your return to work a smooth and stress-free experience. The love and care they provide are unparalleled, and I cannot recommend Buttercups Bassendean highly enough.
Highly recommend Buttercups Bassendean. In the short time since starting here I’ve noticed many positive changes in my toddlers behaviour and development. The staff are fantastic and there’s a huge range of programming and activities provided for the children. The regular updates and photos on the app are really appreciated too.
We have been taking our children to Buttercups Bassendean for the past 6 years and have been consistently pleased with the level of service and support during this time. All educators offer sincere, professional service and treat the children with care and affection. Would recommend without hesitation.
Our experience from the start with Buttercups has been fantastic. Both our kids love going there. It’s an absolute credit to all involved. Buttercups gives us a stress free experience leaving our kids there while we are out dealing with the day to day stress of work. The ability to cater to all kids’ needs is a massive plus. We’ll stay many more years for our kids’ wellbeing and development.
We have had nothing but positive experiences since our little boy started here about 2 years ago. The staff are absolutely brilliant. They are so kind and caring and work extremely hard to make sure our kids get the best start to their education and care at the highest level. I know most of the educators by name now and enjoy chatting to them to see how our little boy has been getting on. They show a genuine interest in his development and he is very fond of them. Our other little boy is due to start next week and we are very happy to be able to send him here confident in the knowledge that he will be in good hands and well looked after. Thanks Buttercups staff for all that you do, you are amazing.
My son has been coming to Buttercups since February this year and he’s settled in so nicely. The educators are lovely, helpful, kind and loving. I’m happy with the service Buttercups is providing and I’m at ease that my little one is in good hands and that he’s safe.
I have found buttercups is an amazing centre and has helped my daughter grow and become more confident over the last few months. I would highly recommend this childcare facility.
