My experience as a student at Buttercups Early Learning Centre has honestly been so memorable, and I’m really grateful I got the chance to spend time there. From the very first day, the Centre manager and the room leader made me feel welcome and supported, not just as someone coming to help, but as part of their team. Their patience, kindness, and genuine love for children showed in everything they did. The staff and room leader impressively stay calm and caring while managing a room full of energetic kids, handling chaos like pros. They know each child well and always seem to understand who needs comfort, who wants to play, and who might be about to get into trouble. And their safety procedures? They don’t play around. Everything is organized, checked, double-checked, and then checked again just in case. The gates are secure, the sign-in system is smooth, and the way the staff communicate with each other is next-level efficient. Honestly, if safety were a sport, Buttercups would be winning gold. It was amazing to see how they could stay fun and relaxed and still keep everything running safely and smoothly. Being there helped me grow more than I expected. I learned how to multitask like a superhero, communicate clearly, and stay calm even when ten things are happening at once. The staff and each room leaders gave me helpful tips, showed me their tricks how to handle the children and made me feel confident. Overall, Buttercups has the perfect mix of fun, warmth, and professionalism. It’s a place where kids can feel safe and secure, parents feel confident, and the staff somehow do a million things at once with a smile. I’d definitely recommend this Centre to anyone who wants a caring and safe environment that still feels lively and full of joy. Lastly, I want to give a truly heartfelt thank you to all the staff, the room leaders, and the Centre manager. You’ve all been so incredibly supportive, patient, and dedicated, and it shows in everything you do. I’m genuinely grateful for the care you put into every day, for the way you look after the children, and for how much you’ve helped me grow as well. Thank you for creating such a warm, safe, and welcoming environment it means more than I can put into words.

My daughter attends the centre and has made a lot of progress in toilet training and her social skills, my very shy girl is coming out of her shell a lot and adores doing happy feet and seeing her friends. Definitely recommend this centre

I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to the entire Buttercups Childcare family — all the educators and our wonderful manager. You all gave me so much love, guidance, and support throughout my placement. I truly feel so lucky to have learned and worked alongside such a beautiful and caring team. Not even for a single day did I feel low or discouraged — everyone always taught me with love and patience. Today was my last day as a student, and honestly, my heart feels heavy because I will deeply miss this place. I don’t think I’ll ever find such a loving and supportive team anywhere else. I had the privilege to work with a super talented and responsible educator, Ifra. She is full of energy, creativity, and new ideas. She patiently explained even the smallest details about children’s behaviour — something that has become one of the most valuable lessons of my life. Another very special person for me is my room leader and the heart of the centre — Zainab. I honestly can’t express my feelings for her in words. I feel that whatever qualities I’ve developed as an educator are because of her. She taught me my duties with love and care, and now I perform them confidently without mistakes. She treated me like an elder sister would — with so much affection and patience. Because of her, I feel perfect and proud of the educator I’ve become today. And lastly, a huge thank you to our amazing manager, Alysha. I’ve been in the education field for 10 years, but I’ve never met a manager like you. You’re kind, fun, and full of warmth. The way you laugh, joke, and care for your staff truly makes Buttercups feel like home. I really love and appreciate you all. Thank you for making my placement such a beautiful and unforgettable journey. ❤️

From the minute we walked through the doors, the manager & every single staff member has been nothing but loving, kind & welcoming! The vibe is always on point, my son is always happy to come & it really does feel like home away from home 💕

As a first experience with sending our little one to Daycare, everyday has been a gift. Alysha the manager helped immensely every step of the way to assist me with the paperwork and Centrelink side of things which I personally was struggling with. Her attention to detail, organisational skills and dedication to providing a warm and welcoming environment for both the children and families alike is a credit to her nurturing nature which is exactly what I was hoping for in a Daycare. All of the staff have been from day one have been amazing, caring for all the children and meeting not only their personal needs but striving to help each child reach their potential while providing learning experiences that are both fun and fundamental for their pre entry to school. I have found them to be totally inclusive on so many levels to the point where it feels like a family. This combined with their professional approach has been such a positive experience for our little one and I truly can't thank the whole team their enough for their ongoing commitment to our precious little one.

Great centre for families of all cultures! Definitely one of the best I sent our son too! On orientation and tours they were so welcoming and warm towards me and my son. They have a safe locked door so the little ones are safe! Really great and warm kind educators! My son doesn’t just go to anyone so it was nice to see he was comforted by the ladies in the tulip room! Everyone was so welcoming and lovely! everyone acts like family and that’s what a daycare should be about taking care of our babies and being apart of a big family! Highly recommend buttercups daycare! 💛💛

All I have to say is absolutely amazing. I called this centre very late Thursday afternoon after getting my son from his previous daycare in very soiled pants wanting to immediately change centres. I contacted them and within 20 minutes I had the director who had FINISHED for the day contacting me and getting him enrolled for the following day Alyssa YOU ARE AMAZING AND SO KIND HEARTED! and Brittany you were so sweet and kind on the phone and made me feel like I wasn’t overacting in the situation. I’m so excited to have my son start at your centre tomorrow! Knowing that he will be looked after and cared for how he deserves and how he should be! I could not recommend this centre enough!

I nominate Zainab for employee of the month. She has the most amazing smile and always seems happy. She has been wonderful with Archie when I have dropped him off in the morning or in the afternoon. She gives me feedback if needed and she works collaborative with the other educators. You have definatley have an asset in her. She works hard but most importantly, she shows passion for working with children! I say thank you to her also helping out the other amazing educators from the poppy room... you all do amazing with the children

I had the pleasure of setting up my coffee trailer this morning at Buttercups Childcare Centre. I had the best time, (even tho it was FREEEEEEZIBG). The staff were so nice and fun! One of them even gave me a heart attack as it was dark and I didn’t see her! 😂😂 My Autistic son also came along, and he was really interacting with one member in particular. He just adored her. I can’t wait to come back again. I was even given a bunch of beautiful flowers and a box of Roses chocolates (my all time favourite!!) Thanks so much you guys for a really fun experience!!

My wife and I have been sending our son to Buttercups’s champion lakes for nearly 2 years now and are extremely happy with the care and professionalism that the centre shows. We know that when we drop him off to the centre that he gets top grade care and that staff encourage and nurture his development. Highly recommend this centre
