Red Bus Nursery & Pre-School - Coombe Dingle

Our daughter has been attending Red Bus Nursery & Pre-School since she was one and is now close to the end of her journey and ready to start school in September almost aged 5.

As parents we have always thought that she has had the highest quality of care and that all staff have nurtured her interests and have supported her development through exciting activities and a stimulating learning environment. We feel they really know our daughter.

Our daughter loves the outdoors and thrives on the challenge of Forest schools. She has developed many lifelong learning skills.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. Our daughter enjoys attending her preschool.

Red Bus Nursery & Pre-School is an excellent nursery. The staff are very friendly and helpful. My son quickly settled in and really enjoys the variety of activities - especially Forest School and the giant sandpit. The food always sounds lovely and it is good to know he is getting a very well balanced diet.

I look forward to seeing his updates online each day when I'm at work. I have learnt a lot about child development through the regular reviews and assessments done by his key worker. They are building good links with the local community.

My daughter adores her keyworker.

Amazing place for children. Staff are exceptional, very friendly and helpful. Nursery just had an extension built- so much more room for all the kids. The garden has been done recently and is very impressive with an area for water play, a bug garden, mud kitchen and an enormous sandpit. My daughter loves going there and on the days she is off- she asks to go to kindergarten. Management always happy to help and deal with issues. Any issues raised are dealt with promptly. Best child care facility around.

Highly recommend!

I would like to see the food menus offering more fruit and veggie meals.

My son started at Red Bus 4 weeks ago and we have already seen huge changes in his development. He loves going in each day and the staff are very friendly and made my transition of going back to work very easy. The Parentzone app allows me to find out how he is getting on throughout the day and I'm always reassured that he's having a great time, and always jealous of the delicious food he's eating there!

My son's time at Red Bus was definitely a good one. All the staff are caring, attentive and will do whatever they can to be accommodating. Red Bus was more than happy to allow me to change my sons days. Red Bus offer forest school which my son absolutely loved, he would come home and tell me all about what he had been doing. My son has now left for school but he still mentions Red Bus and his carers there, it has definitely left an impression on the both of us. The carers at Red Bus did all that they could to prepare my son for school.

A brilliant nursery. My daughter was helped to settle in quickly with her key-workers support. The activities are regularly updated in the baby room and additional excursions organised eg. forest school, trips to a local park, bus trips to a fruit and veg shop. The outdoor area is ample for the babies and well stocked with stimulating activities. The baby gym was also a huge hit with my daughter. Highly recommend.

Our daughter who is 20 months now loves going to Red Bus Nursery. The staff there are very kind and helpful and there are always lots of great activities for the children to take part in, including fun excursions and trips.

We could not be more pleased with the care our daughter has received at Red Bus Nursery & Pre-School. Every member of staff is friendly, helpful and we feel confident that our daughter is well cared for in our absence. The facilities are excellent and ever improving with tonnes of variety to keep the children occupied. The food is of a very high standard and we are kept up to date with what they eat, on a daily basis. Our daughter's key worker is particularly excellent, we feel she has really bonded with our daughter and feel like she is more of a sister to her than a "carer". We get lovely updates and would highly recommend this care setting.

The staff at Red Bus Nursery & Pre-School are very friendly and approachable. We had some alternative child care issues (due to unforeseen circumstances) and they were flexible and understanding. The parent zone app is great to see what they have been up tp throughout the day. The activities are varied and look like great fun. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

My daughter has been at Red Bus for 6 months and she loves it. It is incredible how much she has developed in the last 6 months and I put that down largely to her starting her schooling at the age of 13 months.

All of the staff are very friendly. My son's key worker is great with him. Very personal and caring. They encourage lots of different activities which is really helping his development. I like the flexibility of the nursery as sometimes I have needed to increase the number of days which he has to attend and this has been acceptable with only 2 weeks notice. My son seems to enjoy himself, especially the yummy food, singing, play gym, messy play and water play!

My daughter has used the toddler and pre school room and now my son is in the baby room so have been fortunate enough to have used every room here. The staff in every room all give 100% and really care about the children. The buddy system works great in the baby room and I am fully confident in the staff and their care. Both of my children love the nursery and have always been very happy to go. The reception staff are equally as great and create a lovely warm welcome and nothing is ever too much. I fully trust the staff and the nursery with my children and look forward to hearing their feedback each day,always honest and caring. Lastly, I travel 25 minutes out of my way each day to use this nursery when I have plenty in my area as I am so happy.
