What Parents Say…

 

“We’ve had an absolutely wonderful experience at Bus Stop for both of our children. The nature-based learning environment has helped them be confident and comfortable in the outdoors. They’ve developed a deep connection to nature, and it’s amazing to see them teach me new facts about plants, bugs and the natural world when we’re out on our family walks. It’s like they’ve truly become little nature experts!

 

The School’s new fully outdoor location is so peaceful. I’ve had the chance to join the Friday Stay and Play sessions, and I’ve always felt calm and grounded as I settle my daughter in. I’ve also found that the short walk through the woods during drop-off and pick-up is such a lovely moment of reflection – almost like meditation that helps me reset during a busy workday.

 

One thing I really appreciate is how cosy and comfortable the children are in the daytime Bell tent. Despite being outdoors, they have never once complained of being cold, and it’s clear they feel snug and safe in their space.

 

We are so grateful for the growth our children have experienced here, the staff are absolutely fantastic and we highly recommend Bus Stop Pre-School & Forest School. Written by Nikki and Tim, January 2025.

 

 

 

“The wonders of nature and the hands-on opportunities has made our daughter resilient, confident and creative. This is testament to the efforts and experience of the team, who have really enhanced the educational experience. We cannot wait for our son to join his big sister soon!

“Our daughter is now in her third year at Bus Stop, she looks forward to spending time at Nursery, often asking when she will next be there. She thrives in the outdoor and loves learning about her surroundings, how things grow and the wildlife that lives in the woodlands.

 

She has yet to complain about feeling cold and relishes the opportunity to explore Polesden Lacey and the surrounding community with her friends. As her parents we have felt truly lucky to have access to such a beautiful Nursery on our doorstep and appreciate the Bus Stop team for their support and care towards the children that attend”.

“Bus Stop Pre-School has provided such a wonderful, wholesome and nurturing environment for my son to learn and play in his pre School years. He has enjoyed walking the Polesden Lacey grounds with his Bus Stop friends and loves to explore the beautiful, natural environment around him guided by his lovely teachers.

 

Recently when visiting the Estate with friends, he found a (very large) stick; too big to bring home. After much debate about where to leave it, he told me the only place it would be safe would be Bus Stop school so his teachers could look after it for him. So, we walked all the way there so he could safely leave his stick somewhere for the teachers to find. It was so wonderful as a parent to know that Bus Stop is somewhere he feels safe, and that he clearly trusts his teachers if they were chosen to look after such a prized possession!!

 

We highly recommend Bus Stop Pre-School and cannot wait for our littlest to start there soon”. Written by Sam, February 2025.
