Day Nurseries Owned by Chalk Day Nurseries in Bristol

My only frustration has been how frequently unwell our daughter has been during the seven months she has attended nursery. As she is our first child, we appreciate that this may simply be a normal part of starting nursery.

The care, kindness, and dedication shown by every member of staff have helped him grow into the happy, confident, curious little boy he is today. They've celebrated his achievements, comforted him when he needed reassurance, and filled his days with laughter, learning, and unforgettable memories. We will always be thankful for the incredible start they have given him and the strong foundations they've helped build for his future. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts-we couldn't have wished for a more special place for our son.

Staff are outstanding. A really lovely atmosphere. We are moving out of area and are incredibly sad our daughter has had to move to a different nursery. Would highly recommend to anyone considering Moon River.

The space for children to play is also really good, in condition and with both shaded and sunny areas. Both my children love the food as well!

I would recommend this nursery to other families.

We are having an excellent experience with Red Bus and we couldn't be happier. Our daughter goes to any member of staff at drop off and waves me goodbye. She is regularly offered the potty as this was a big thing for us, we were worried she'd have a regression when starting but the staff have been so brilliant at respecting our wish for her to go regularly. She has picked up several signs which has helped her communicate with us at home as well as at nursery. When I collect her she always seems really happy and calm. We are provided with updates and photos regularly, she goes to sleep easily at nursery (which has helped her go to sleep easier at home) and she eats really well and seems to love the food.

I can't recommend the nursery enough, we would pay double for the care we receive. The staff knew our daughter by name after her first settle, we are made to feel valued and everything the nursery does exceeds our expectations. I would give 10/10 across every aspect!

We continue to have a wonderful experience with red bus. It is with great delight to hear that our child has been getting on wonderfully. It puts my mind at ease when I am working to know he is thriving there. The updates have been fantastic and I look forward to seeing what's they've been up to.

We've had such a positive experience with Red Bus. The staff are incredibly warm and supportive, and the play facilities and learning activities are excellent. Most importantly, our daughter has loved going there-she's formed strong bonds with her key persons, the wider team, and the other children. We couldn't ask for more peace of mind as working parent's and wholeheartedly recommend Red Bus to other families.

I visited many nurseries before finalising Red Bus Nursery. Initially, I selected Red Bus for my kids due to its spacious and well-organised infrastructure, but to my satisfaction, it turned out to be the best staffed and excellent caring and learning facility for my kids. My kids easily connected with their key persons and learned so much each day. Their 2 years in Redbus was such a smooth journey. I cannot thank the Redbus fraternity enough for all the hard work. Truly outstanding and exceeds expectations!

We genuinely can't fault any aspect of the experience you've provided - your professionalism, dedication, and kindness have meant the world to us. We often say we can't imagine a better nursery, and we stand by that. Red Bus has set the bar incredibly high, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking for a truly outstanding early years setting.

We have had 2 children attend red bus starting from March 2020 until August 2025. Both children loved going there and spoke so highly of all the staff. They were truly nurtured and encouraged to learn and grow. My eldest went to school after being wonderfully prepared and we have no concerns that it won't be the same when my youngest starts next month. Any special requests we made with food, naps etc. were all taken on board and the staff worked with us though the whole journey. I would 100% recommend this nursery for anyone looking for somewhere to send their children

I have had brilliant experience with Red Bus over the past 4 years looking after both my children. The staff really are brilliant. They all really seem to know my children well and they both love going. The facilities are brilliant with lots of outdoor space.

Cannot fault it, we have had the best time. I have a child in preschool and the baby room. Staff in both rooms are lovely, attentive, get to know the children and they are always doing different fun activities. They eat a healthy balanced menu and always seem to eat all of it. There are regular feedback opportunities, extra events running, information sessions and parents/grandparents events to join through the year. We will miss the staff hugely when school starts soon. It seems very well organised, the play spaces are amazing and keep them entertained even when in the preschool room for up to 2 years.

We've had a great experience of Red Bus so far. I was anxious of my son starting/ dropping my son off but his keyworker has been reassuring, comforting and caring. She helped him to settle in. I feel that the nursery provides good activities which are stimulating, interesting and they can learn from. I like when they do art, activity trays and play outside. The food is well balanced and healthy. I really like the app and being updated on his food, activity and can see photos of his day. This is really reassuring for me. It seems a clean environment and my son is kept clean throughout the day.

Red Bus have been fantastic the staff are really friendly and know my daughter well. I like the updates we get and how there's lots of space for the children to play and the gradual building of independence. The nursery have worked with us on things like potty training. My daughter is very happy there and we have a lot of trust in the nursery.

Red Bus nursery is amazing: both my children have attended from the age of 6 months and absolutely flourished - the activities and resources have given the best possible environment for my two children, who are both happy, confident and sociable little people. The professionality, attention to detail and safety are obvious from this well run nursery. Whenever there have been issues staff have approached me in an honest and constructive way and I have built an excellent relationship with them. But what I value the most is the close relationships that the staff built with my children - they really care about them as individuals. I can't speak more highly of this great nursery!

Great little nursery. Staff are kind, friendly and supportive, not just the practitioners, the admin staff really do care. Care is provided constantly. The daily activities suit each stage and individual. Highly recommended

Red Bus is a well equipped, clean, bright and engaging environment. Staff are helpful and caring, making the whole experience really pleasant for us and our nearly two-year-old. The updates during the day via the 'parent zone' app is really great for keeping us in the loop during the day. Would highly recommend the Red Bus for anyone considering nursery for their baby.

Our daughter has attended Red Bus since April 2018 when she started at 10 1/2 months old upon my return to work. Since day one the team has made us all feel welcome and supported a smooth transition into nursery life. The staff are incredibly friendly and it is obvious how much they care for each of the children and work so hard to support their development. We have been amazed at how fast our daughter has developed since starting nursery and it's great to see her learning new things every single day. I have absolute trust in the team to deliver the highest standards of care to our daughter and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Red Bus to anyone looking for childcare.

Red Bus has been a lifeline for our family. Our son has recently been diagnosed with Autism, and in addition, has severe speech delay. It's been a tough few months, however the SENCO and the Red Bus team have supported us with implementing the relevant support. We are given updates of our son's progress and what makes it meaningful for us is that it is delivered with genuine care and encouragement.

We increased our hours as it became apparent that our son's progression was firmly linked with his days at preschool. We feel the team go beyond our expectations as child care providers, to us, without sounding trite, they are family. Our elder son used to attend two years ago and loves popping in for a chat with the team.

Our son is soon to be moving on to school, we have been reassured that his transition is going to be supported (important as change can be challenging). I wish that families in our situation could have access to child care providers such as Red Bus. We feel very lucky.
