5* simply the best

Buttercups is hands down the best childminding setting that I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Mandeep and the girls are absolutely fantastic and deliver an exceptionally high standard of care to the little ones.

My two daughters have had the most amazing experience and I will forever be grateful. It can be a daunting feeling when leaving your children, but with Mandeep I felt a huge comfort in knowing that my daughters were going to be in the BEST hands and having the best day.

Buttercups go above and beyond that of any other nursery or childminder. The setting is lovely, warm, welcoming, it is perfectly set out and you can see that it is full of love from all the children who have ever been so lucky to be a part of it. Buttercups cook a fantastic range of homemade meals perfect for little tummies, one of my children is an extremely fussy eater and Mandeep has got her eating foods I never thought would be possible. I have been so impressed by the creativity and teaching that Buttercups give the children, every single day Mandeep and the girls put their absolute all into giving the children a day full of fun, laughter, exploring and learning.

Thank you so much. 💗

Trustworthy, Passionate and Loving

Mandeep has had the pleasure of looking after my two little ones 1 and a 3 year old. On odd occasions she would even pick my 6 year old from
School which was ideal for all siblings to be together. She catered for their individual needs from day one. My lil ones were settled there pretty quickly, by having a kind natured positive aura, it made the settling in period, pretty easy and straight forward. To be fair since Mandeep was so lovely and trustworthy, although there was a deep rooted mummy guilt, it didn’t last long. Her environment is set out well with organised, designated areas. Food is freshly made onsite and Mandeep always goes out of her way to ensure my children ate, being fussy and all. The lil ones, had various activities during the day and the learning could clearly be seen in the home environment. Mandeep updates you with their nappies, sleep times, what they have ate and activities with pictures. Buttercup also had assistants like Nush who always so lovely and the kids adored her. If you want someone who will go above and beyond for your child and ensure their activities have a learning basis then Mandeep is the person for you. Most important thing when looking for a childminder is trust and a friendly warm environment and that’s what you get from the Buttercups Setting.

A wonderful caring childminder

After a long search we were lucky to find Buttercups. We have our 2 children with Mandeep nearly a year now and both herself and Emily have been amazing. They are both so bubbly and caring, we knew instantly after meeting with Mandeep we would have no hesitations leaving our smallies with her. She has been more than accommodating to our busy lives and schedules and cannot be faulted in any way. The children enjoy going to Buttercups and we have never had any concerns with them.
Highly recommended childcare service and we would genuinely be lost without them.

5 🌟⭐️🌟⭐️🌟

Mandeep is a 5 star childminder. She helps us a lot whit our 3 years boy and loads more. She’s reliable flexible and very helpful person. Mason is with Mandeep for nearly 1 year and since the first day he comes home with a smile on his face and some times he asks to go back 😂. She as a really clean house and a really friendly family. If you need a childminder that takes good care of your son our daughter contact Butercups couple days after you will feel the difference.

Excellent childcare provider

When i met Mandeep it was like meeting a long lost friend. She is very professional and caring. If it was for her i could of gone back to work. My son Maxwell loves going to mandeeps. And he is aways happy when she open the door to him. Buttercups child care is great value for money. The play area for the children is out of this world and the children have a better relationship with Mandeep and Emily then u could ever wish for. I whould highly recommend Buttercups great value for money and staff.

The most wonderful child-minder!

Our daughter has been in the care of Mandeep for the past eight months, since she was 7 months old and it was the best child-care decision we could have made. After meeting a number of child-minders in the local area, Mandeep was the obvious choice due to her caring, professional and welcoming manner. Our daughter (and us) took an instant shine to Mandeep and her home is wonderfully set up to inspire learning and play. Our daughter has come on leaps and bounds with Mandeep and quite often waved good bye to me at the door - a really lovely sign that she was very happy to be there and wanted to get the fun day started! Fun activities were always taking place such as clay hand prints, painting, garden fun and trips out.

Mandeep provided us with a lovely learning and development journal to show our daughter's progress. As a teacher, I was really impressed with Mandeep's focus on building confidence and learning through fun play and interaction. Our daughter said many of her first words with Mandeep ('please') and really thrived with her and the other children in her care.

What I really liked about Mandeep was the regular and personal contact she made with us. We always had a chat and a catch up about our daughter's day, what she ate, any problems as well as messages during the day if needed about teething etc. Mandeep also provided lovely meals for our daughter so we knew she was eating well.

Mandeep obviously cares deeply about the children in her care and providing them with the best opportunities. I can't express how glad we are that our daughter had Madeep as her child-minder - as any parent will understand, knowing your child is being cared for, encouraged and made to feel welcome and loved is the most important thing and this made going back to work so much easier as I knew she was having a great day and was a very happy baby.

*The only reason we had to leave was due to our location.

Fantastic Childminder

I am very fussy when it comes to people looking after my daughter as I have different expectations and I like things done in accordance to how I teach my daughter Amelia.... Mandeep has been fantastic from 6 months old my daughter was in her care and she has been "hands down" brilliant!

As a single parent Mandeep understood my situation and my needs for Amelias care, she took time out of her own schedule to help adjust for my work hours if it was not for her and the team I would not of been able not only cope but maintain my job! She's not just a childminder she will be a long term friend to me and my family and if I ever did need to go to West Sussex I would definitely use Mandeep again.

I highly reccomend Mandeep to all families she's caring, very hands on with the kids takes them out during the day, and provides that one on one care she has a beautiful little boy whom is best friends with my daughter and they get on so well...

Overall she is superb and would highly reccomend her to anyone she also caters for parents doing nights which is very rare to find.

We're going to miss you Amelia-rose and Melissa xxx
