Buttons Nursery & Kindergarten
Welcome
to parents
corner...
Good morning, I'm so thrilled that our little boy is at Buttons and especially with Sarah. She is so warm and welcoming and everytime he sees Sarah he smiles so I know he's happy to be there. Sarah always let's me know what he has been getting up to and I'm really happy with him there. Many thanks!
Tessa is easily the most welcoming individual, from the moment you step foot in the door to show your child around for the first time, to when they've been there for 5 months and you're taking them home at the end of play on a Friday. A smile is always given and a friendly conversation had. We like Tessa a lot! And my son does too. Personally I have known Tessa from when I did two childcare placements at Buttons during my years at college just over 10 years ago, and I would have said the same then, as I have now. Tessa has created a wonderful and educational space for children that parents can feel happy leaving their children at, a nursery that feels very non-judemental in comparison to other local nurseries, and I know that my child is benefitted from the days he has with Tessa and her team at Buttons.
My daughter has settled into kindi really well, Kim as been amazing and is a really lovely lady! She always comes out and tells me she’s had a fun day! All the other lady’s are lovely too! Xx
Buttons Nursery provides childcare places for children from 3 months of age. Buttons Kindergarten offers childcare places from 2 years of age. A brochure can never truly show you the value we place on your child’s happiness and development so please come along and see for yourself. We recommend that you bring your child to the setting for your show around, as their reaction will help you with your decision on whether we are the right setting for you. Upon starting, your child will receive a free 2 our induction at a time and date of your choice.
You will be provided with a paperwork pack consisting of a registration form, a GDPR permission form, a policy pack, and an 'all about me' pack. This will provide us with important information on your Childs likes and dislikes that we can use to help them settle and begin their learning journey with us.
You will be required to pay a month in advance upon your child starting at Buttons.
Invoices will be issued by email monthly and should be paid by the date indicated on your online SAGE invoice. Late payment of childcare fees may incur an additional charge of 17%.
We plan to review these fees regularly to ensure they are in line with other facilities and remain affordable.
Buttons will be accessible to all families by providing flexible, high quality, affordable childcare. We do accept payment in vouchers such as Busy Bees, Linking Up, You at work, and Sodexo which provide a tax saving for working families.
Buttons accepts payment by: Bank transfer, Barclays Pingit, or cash
Please speak to a member of management for information regarding child tax credits and childcare vouchers

Our extended family...
Parent Involvement is very Important at Buttons. As we guide your children to make the right choices in life we like to work hand in hands with families to create a unique learning journey for each child. Parents / Carers will be invited into Buttons to share their life experiences, teach the staff and children new skills, embrace new challenges or to celebrate our achievements as a family.
