Red Bus Nursery & Pre-School - Downend

We pick her up a happy baby and giggles and smiles all the way home.

Thank you Red Bus Downend!

I've only marked the staff as good as the admin support can sometimes be a little brusque, although that could just be a difference in communication styles. Overall, I think that Red Bus Downend is a wonderful nursery and I feel extremely happy with their care of our little one.

There is nothing I can complain about. The setting is beautiful, the staff are fantastic. Red Bus has a very welcoming environment and perfect structure to help children settle in. The activities are fun and makes learning fun. My daughter loves it at Red Bus from day one, although it take her a few days to settle in. She enjoys going and has made lots of friends. She has become more confident.

I'm so happy that Red Bus operates in our area. I feel that my son is both well cared for and nurtured by both the knowledgeable and friendly staff, and the well designed environment. They have plenty of outside space (where even the babies are taken out at least twice per day). Chickens, fruit trees, a mud kitchen all outdoors. Indoors there is a wet room! I feel that this is the best nursery I could've hoped for, and he gets things he doesn't have access to at home. A fantastic place.

Lovely building and grounds. The staff are all so kind, friendly and welcoming and my daughter loves it (particularly the chickens!) I love the updates we get from the parent zone app. This was particularly helpful in the first few weeks when my daughter, and myself, were getting used to being apart and the staff were so good at letting me know early on in the day that she had settled well and was enjoying herself. They have been very supportive with potty training too. When I have any queries and have to contact the office they are always prompt in responding and incredibly helpful. I cannot fault this nursery. It's excellent!

Our daughter has been at Red Bus since June 2015. She has loved every minute, the staff are friendly and welcoming, there is so much for her to do. The rooms have lots of fantastic equipment and the building itself is absolutely stunning. The garden is huge and our daughter loves going out to see the chickens! Not a bad word to say, would recommend to anyone.

I feel that Red Bus Downend is a great nursery. I'm really happy I've sent my daughter there. The staff are friendly and caring. The parent zone is great and the facilities are awesome.

My daughter has attended the nursery Since July 15. Before starting at Red Bus she clung to me all the time (I couldn't even leave the room to make a cup of tea). Since starting at Red Bus, has changed into a confident toddler. She loves her key worker and when I drop her off, she doesn't even look back to say goodbye. I was worried that as it's quite a big nursery my daughter would be just a number, but the staff know her really well. She sleeps and eats better than she does at home! The facilities are lovely, including the activity room, water room, nursery roof garden and the Coracle she naps in. The parent portal is great, as I am updated with her activities (eating, sleeping, nappy changing) and photos of her throughout the day. We are very happy with Red Bus and highly recommend it.
