My little boy joined red bus when our previous nursery sadly closed at short notice, but we have never looked back! Staff at Red Bus are simply amazing :) They always take so much time and care with your child, and my little boy has developed so many amazing skills and developed his communication during his time there. They are always so attentive and give lovely little updates on the app, and it's never too much to ask any questions or worries. They are so kind and gentle, and as a parent that is so appreciated knowing you are leaving them in safe hands. We cannot praise them enough as a nursery and thank you for all your hard work!

Since my daughter joined Red Bus from another setting at the start of September the team have worked hard to get to know her and aid in her settling to the setting resulting in her coming out of her shell and her looking forward to her days in preschool. A big thank you to Katie and Georgia and the rest of the preschool team for their hard work and dedication. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Red Bus to friends and family.

We moved from another nursery where we felt we weren't getting value for money and our child was repeatedly upset at drop offs, and it was the best decision we could have made. From our first enquiry we have been so impressed with how efficient, professional and warm the staff at Red Bus have been. Our key worker has made a point of really getting to know our child, gives detailed handovers at the end of the day and keeps us fully in the loop with regular photo updates. The space is great, it feels safe and fun and although it is purpose built, it doesn't feel clinical. The food is healthy and clearly delicious, the activities are varied and considered, the staff are creative and fun and we couldn't be any happier with our decision to make the move. Thank you Red Bus!

All of the staff in the nursery room are amazing but in particular my son's key worker is such a star. I feel like I couldn't have wished for a better key worker for my son's start in nursery. I have a lot of friends with children in different nurseries who have had very mixed experiences, but I have always felt confident that my son is well cared for and feel incredibly lucky that nursery is not a cause of stress for us, I have the utmost respect and trust in the staff and the nursery as a whole.

We just wanted to say a heartfelt thank you to all the wonderful caretakers at Red Bus Pre-School. You are always so caring, patient, and attentive with Aurelia and the rest of the children. We truly appreciate the thoughtful weekly updates and the lovely pictures you share - they always brighten our day and give us such reassurance about how happy Aurelia is in your care. We honestly couldn't wish for a better place for our daughter. Thank you for everything you do!

I would like to thank everyone in Kindergarten for taking care of my son, especially in the mornings when he is prone to being a bit sad when I drop him off. He always has positive things to say on the way home and looks forward to his nursery days!

Our daughter has been attending Red Bus for the past year and a half, and we couldn't be more grateful for the incredible care and support she's received. The practitioners have been truly exceptional in nurturing her learning and development, helping her grow in confidence and curiosity every single day. She absolutely loves going to nursery, and it's easy to see why. The warmth, encouragement, and genuine care from the whole team make Red Bus such a special place. We've seen remarkable progress in her communication skills, independence, and enthusiasm for learning, all thanks to the dedication, patience, and creativity of the staff. It's clear that every practitioner puts so much thought and heart into making each child feel valued and supported. We are deeply appreciative of everything they do and the positive impact they've had on our daughter's early years. Thank you, Red Bus team, for your outstanding work and the difference you make every day!

We can't rate this setting highly enough. Every single practitioner we've had the pleasure of meeting throughout the last two years has been so warm and nurturing with our children. The resource is fantastic and our children have flourished here. The outdoor space is beautiful. The activities are always so well thought out, varied and creative. The food is healthy and the children love it. They've enjoyed so many wonderful experiences here and learned so much and we've just always felt so reassured they're being cared for at the highest standards.

Our son had flourished at Red Bus. From being a shy boy when he first joined, he has really come out of his shell. He talks so positively about the staff, the friend he has made and the activities. We are so happy that we chose Red Bus!

We had to change nurseries as we moved location and were worried about finding a new one, we didn't need to worry. This is a fantastic nursery and we highly recommend. The staff are l fantastic and our little boy is excited to go in every day. He's now ready for school but he will miss Red Bus and I know he'll want to come back to visit soon.

Red bus is a great nursery! All of the staff are approachable, kind and enthusiastic. I can't single out particular staff as we've been happy with all of the staff we have come across. My son has absolutely loved nursery, meeting great friends, having the opportunity to grow and develop. We are very happy with our choice of nursery and would recommend to anyone looking at childcare provisions.

We've genuinely loved everything about Red Bus-for both our Children - and it's clear how much care and creativity goes into making it such a fantastic place. Red Bus is a truly exceptional environment for children of all ages. The atmosphere radiates warmth, safety, and joy-exactly what you hope for when entrusting your little one to someone else's care. The staff are not just educators-they're nurturers and gentle guides who treat every child as unique individuals. The baby room is a soothing sanctuary, filled with calm voices, comforting cuddles, and sensory-rich experiences that spark even the tiniest curiosity. In the nursery and preschool rooms, learning comes alive through play, laughter, and imagination. The team strikes a beautiful balance between structure and freedom, supporting milestones while giving each child space to be their growing, thriving self.

Really fantastic and welcoming place. My son has been there since it opened and he has been able to develop a real sense of self as they have the facilities and equipment, as well as the time, to allow the children to try all sorts of activities to find the things that most engage them. Especially enjoys using the real construction equipment (under close supervision of course). Staff are friendly with low turnover rate and the ones that leave seem genuinely sad to go. A great start to learning social skills needed to excel in the future.

Our son has had such a positive start at your nursery. We were always hopeful that he would enjoy nursery but it's surpassed our expectations. From the initial visit, to the settling in sessions and him starting, we've felt supported in every way. When we've had queries about how to access the childcare funding or wanted a quick update on how he was getting on in the early days, the staff have been brilliant. Drop off and pick up hangovers have been good and staff that know him have shared lovely comments about his day. We appreciate the daily updates on the app and feel like we get a little insight to his day. Likewise, the Easter craft session was a lovely way opportunity. One of the reasons we chose Red Bus was for the outside space it offered. Although our son is only in the baby room, we love to see that he's already had opportunities to access the bugger outside garden. Thank you for everything you do for our son. We can't wait for him to continue his journey at Red Bus.
