We celebrated our daughter’s 2nd birthday last weekend at Buttercups. The children at the party were between 2-4yrs old. From the moment we walked in, everything was perfect. The imaginative play areas were well thought out, the soft play area immaculate and the party zone was decorated in the theme we requested. There’s plenty of space for adults to sit comfortably, along with a great menu to choose from. Our party was 10am-12pm and Buttercups ensured that there was a wide range of food to cater for effectively a brunch! We had a vegan guest who was provided her very own food tower! The ladies who hosted our party were calm, organised and made the whole party a real success; it was enjoyable for all the adults too as we could relax knowing the children were happy. Everyone left with big smiles and a lovely party bag which was thoughtfully arranged. The business deserves 5* rating across the board, and I would encourage anyone considering booking a children’s party to use Buttercups as you won’t be disappointed. Thank you once again and we shall see you very soon for a play date!

I’ve spent a lot of time at Buttercups over the years especially would recommend if you have a toddler and a new born, you can see your toddler at all times whilst you can sit there with a coffee! We recently had my son’s 4th party and it was excellent. Really well organised, they supply everything and the food was great! From a parents point of view it was the easiest party I’ve thrown!

We had our little girl’s 3rd birthday party at Buttercups and everything was great! The staff were all so lovely and the party package included everything we needed (even party bags) which made everything so easy. All the children had such a good time, the food was great and the space made the whole party perfect. Thank you so much to the team

Buttercups will always hold a very special place in my heart. My children absolutely love it here. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. My youngest recently had their party here and said it was the best party ever. Firm favourite in this household! 🙌

Such a lovely soft play, covering lots of ages. I visit most Wednesday mornings with my 4YO and 1YO. Loads of play corners and toys to cover both of their age groups. Youngest loves the roll play corner, sand pit, ball pool and slide in the soft play. Eldest loves the soft play and dinosaurs! Plenty of food choices for kids and adults, attentive staff and good value for money!
