BUTTERCUPS CHILDMINDING - "Good" Early Years Childminder
I live with my husband and 2 children just off Brickhill Road, Wellingborough (NN8 3JJ). I have large bright and sunny room with access into a large garden/allotment where we have lots of fun playing, gardening, being creative, playing musical instruments and dancing, baking and so much more (all the time learning of course!!).
I care for 2 or 3 children (0-4 years) at a time giving them lots of care and attention. I do not provide care for school age children. Parents are kept involved and notified of all the learning and development that I observe by having regular photos and updates sent directly to their phone - parents LOVE this!!
I am registered to provide Government Funded Education hours.
Please read my lovely reviews which my kind parents have posted.
Please feel free to contact me and ask about my availability and any questions you have.
NB: please note that we do have a (very gorgeous and adorable) house cat and 2 doggies.

After finding Victoria and making contact before my son was born, I feel very lucky that she had a place available for him and was willing to take him from so young. Victoria is simply lovely and has made her home into a fantastic setting which is always spotless! There are plenty of great developmental and sensory toys, and Victoria herself is just fantastic with the children she cares for, which is clear to see when you see how much the children love and trust her. My son even at just 4 months old recognises Victoria and gives big smiles when I drop him off and he sees Victoria as he knows he is going to have fun and learn lots during his time at Buttercups, which again shows the great bond she has with the children. I receive daily updates during the day as to what my son has been up to which puts a big smile on my face, and communication with Victoria is fantastic too. I'd highly recommend Victoria's services and feel very privileged that my son has a place at Buttercups which will help him learn and grow in a wonderful environment.

Tori looked after my eldest Daughter when she was under One which was almost 14 Years ago.... Fast forward to current date and I'm so grateful that we was lucky enough to patiently wait for a space for our now One Year old. Both my girls have had and are having the best experience in this setting with regular rhymes,stories, indoor & outdoor activities and games. Tori provides snacks & quickly identifies your child's needs- she mastered nap time for our youngest better than us! Lastly Tori as a person is approachable, understanding, patient, friendly, fun, trust worthy and really an extended family member. Excellent communication & regularly videos & pictures sent to me which I love! I also play them back to my Daughter who gets very animated about her day of fun 😊

Oh Michelle....🥰🥰🥰. Thank you for taking the time to write a review.
Victoria has been like a second mom for my little girl. She has quickly adapted to her needs and my toddler always comes back home with a smile on her face and telling me(in her own words) about her day. Victoria is caring, patient, responsible and very good at her job. She has always given advice to us as new parents and always happy to help. She has educational toys and activities for the children which we don’t have at home. I love that my little one is surrounded by pets . From the bottom of my heart , I would recommend Victoria to anyone looking for a childminder ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you for my wonderful review. I am hoping that it helps to attract a family as fantastic as you!
My little boy has recently started at Buttercups and I can’t say enough positives about the care my little boy receives. He has a variety of experiences and educational activities during the day, the setting which includes outdoor space is lovely. Victoria is very caring, kind and reliable childminder. I can’t praise her enough! Tapestry journal (online communication tool) is very informative and gives an insight into what your little one is up to on the day! We are very happy with Victoria’s setting and the care our little boy receives! Would highly recommend her.

When nursery wasn't working out for our daughter Lola we hunted around everywhere for the right person to take care of her. When we met Victoria we immediately knew that she would be perfect. Victoria is calm, warm and caring and has a beautiful home full of toys. Victoria works with each child individually to understand their needs and further their progress. Lola always leaves and returns with a big smile on her face and the regular updates put our minds at rest while we are away at work.
