History
Established since 1980, we are a group of
independent, boutique nurseries
that are individually and
personally managed
.
Carol Whitehouse, the Owner and Managing Director, believes in
'learning through play the Buttercups way'
. She started her first nursery in 1980 in her own residence aiming to provide quality education for local children, including her own. Since then, Buttercups has expanded, taken on a dedicated team of staff and helped educate hundreds of children across the West London area.
Carol holds the Department for Education's Nursery and Infant Teacher qualification and a Montessori diploma. She has also undertaken High Scope training and has used this knowledge to encompass these principles into the children’s day to day education.
Carol and the team at Buttercups hope that you will enjoy discovering about us through this website and by visiting one of the nurseries.
