What our Parents Say

The biggest compliment that I can give is that I have never once worried about my child’s experience, safety or welfare at any point in their time with Red Bus - and I am a major worrier! Everyone has been helpful and accommodating at all times. The kids have always enjoyed their time and we have watched them flourish!

- Pre-School Parent, Downend, July 2022

Red Bus is the best childcare decision I ever made! Thank you so much to the whole team. I brought a baby in who would not let mummy go and now he’s a boy that runs in and is so secure there.

- Pre-School Parent, Coombe Dingle, July 2022

Red Bus has provided my child with so many interesting learning experiences. The staff are all extremely caring and really know the children. My daughter has always loved coming to nursery and talks excitedly about her day. I’m so glad we chose Red Bus.

- Pre-School Parent, Downend, July 2022

Red Bus have been truly amazing. You have looked after both of our children from babies to Pre-School and they have both loved their time with you. We’ve never once felt worried about leaving them at Red Bus, staff have always been kind and kept a really fun atmosphere for the children.

- Pre-School Parent, Coombe Dingle, July 2022

The kids have had such a great time and really grown at Red Bus - if we could take the nursery and your lovely staff with us we would! I'd particularly like to praise our key person in the preschool setting, she's done wonders for our son's confidence and enjoyment and we'll all really miss her. He is really fond of all of the team there.

- Relocating Parent, September 2022

I’m always so impressed how quickly the staff learn who the parents are, we’re always greeted with a friendly smile! They are also very attentive to my child when they finds drop off a bit tricky. 

It makes the process so much smoother for parents to know their child is being comforted by someone they trust.

The thing that sold [Red Bus] to us particularly was the balance between it being a big enough nursery to be able to boast excellent facilities, particularly the outdoor space and separate dining hall (which many other nurseries did not have) but also small enough that we felt our child would be well looked after and nurtured as an individual. And it has never failed to disappoint.

Overall, our son has had a really special time at Red Bus and it is a testament to all the staff that he has run in happily every day throughout his time there. I have always felt so lucky to have found a place where my child genuinely loves going and I honestly cannot think of a day when my son hasn’t been excited to be coming.

- Pre-School Parent, July 2023

Red Bus staff have been fantastic throughout our daughter's time there. Staff are so engaged with brilliant relationships with the children. The staff seem to enjoy their jobs and the children enjoy their time there - a happy combination...We're just glad we have a couple more years left being part of the family with our son!

-Pre-School Parent, July 2023

We transitioned from a different setting and I was a little bit nervous that the change would affect my daughter negatively; but, from the moment she started at Red Bus, the staff were so warm and welcoming that she settled in so well and so quickly... Thank you so much for all the love, help, and essentially the co-parenting!

- Pre-School Parent, July 2023

My child has thrived at Red Bus and I'm sad to see her leave for school. All the staff (and I mean ALL) are exceptional and have worked so hard with each and every child. I wish Red Bus could continue until they were sixteen!

-Pre-School Parent, July 2023

I have always been reassured by the professionalism of every member of staff that my son is in safe hands and learning lots along the way...I think you all do an amazing job and it is obvious how hard you work to create a safe and happy environment for the children.

-Pre-School Parent, August 2023

Staff are always friendly, helpful and approachable and build meaningful relationships with children and their parents. Both of my children have thrived there and were more than ready for school by the time they left Pre-School. Both children have loved all of the outdoor play areas, the art rooms, the opportunity to do woodwork, baking, music, yoga etc the list goes on. We will miss everyone at Red Bus and would thoroughly recommend this setting to other parents. Thanks again.

-Pre-School Parent, August 2023

I just wanted to say a massive thank you to you & your team for making us feel so welcome over the last few weeks. As a practitioner myself, I understand the parent anxieties of leaving your child in a new setting for an entire day. As a parent as well now, I just wanted to point out how thorough & professional you have all been at making me feel at ease about leaving her & answering any questions I’ve had so far. 

- Nursery Parent, September 2023

"The staff that look after our daughter are always so friendly and welcoming and clearly work so hard at what they do.... They are so professional and share such detail and enthusiasm when talking about our child’s experiences and wellbeing."

- Kindergarten Parent, Flax Bourton, September 2023

"It was a very positive experience from start to finish. From the staff in the office to the key workers in Pre-School. Everyone was just so helpful, friendly and welcoming, my daughter settled in extremely well and loves her days at Red Bus."

Pre-School Parent, Coombe Dingle, November 2023

"It’s been a long time since he started, but I just remember not being worried about it, knowing that our son was being looked after by a great team of very experienced, friendly, caring and professional people. I hadn’t felt able to leave him with anyone before, he started nursery, but they made me feel very relaxed and I could see how relaxed and happy our son was."
