My Summary
About Me
Hi, I am Mandeep and I live in Langley Green with my husband and two cheeky boys, born 2012 and 2017. I am a fully Ofsted registered Childminder and have a rating of GOOD. We offer childcare for children 3months+ I am able to offer 15 hours of government funded childcare for 2 year olds, as well as 15-30 hours of government funded childcare for 3-4 year olds.
We have a separate extension to the house which is where the main play room is, filled with lots of toys, a soft play area for little ones, a book corner and access to an enclosed garden area where there is now a second play room which we are using as a sensory room as well, filled with lights, a projector, bubble machine and much more! All of this space allows for enough room for the children to dance around and carry out both planned activities and child led play. We regularly use our lovely garden and enjoy getting outside everyday, as we are lucky to be just a two minute walk from the local park.
For as long as I can remember I have always loved working and being around children, watching them learning new things and grow into amazing individuals. I have been in the childcare industry since 2014, working in both a nursery and home setting.
Being a mother, I feel that I have a good understanding of what a parent would want when leaving their child in someone else's care and we ensure that the day is filled with a variety of activities as well as fun enjoyable outings. Working alongside another experience childcare assistant means we are able to give the children the attention they need. I have always worked alongside someone who also has experience in the childcare industry, as when it comes to planning activities and making the environment a fun and friendly one it always helps having more ideas. I’m not a childminder looking to pass my time while my kids grow up, I’m a childminder looking to give all the children in my care the best I can give! Providing them with the best resources and a fun loving environment to grow and learn in. We love doing different outings giving children the best experiences. Buttercups has grown from strength to strength and we are always aiming to be better everyday.
We regularly venture out to various locations, including the local park and newly opened Adventure Playground, as well as the local library, Along with special outings to the farm or even the local soft play centre.
We look forward to hearing from you with regards to your childcare needs and aim to accommodate as best we can.

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. 💗

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.

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.

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.

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.
