Kindergarten in Bristol

“Easily the best pre school in the south west. The staff here absolutely love their job and love your little people as if they were their own. Both my boys attended the nursery with the youngest leaving this year to go to big school. Natalie and her team nurtured my boys and prepared them well for their transition to school. No day was the same. The boys enjoyed going on the forest ranger mornings, having special guests visit, parties and much more. My now 10year old still reminisces about his days and RAD’s ! Quite simply “Rub a Dub Preschool is the best!””

“BEST NURSERY IN BRISTOL This is the best place you could possibly send your child; it's also the cheapest. I moved my kids here from a bigger nursery and am so glad I did. What makes it so unique: *Dedicated, experienced staff and a low staff turnover means they'll know your child well & genuinely care about them. *Extremely imaginative play, highly nurturing, home from home. *Amazing food (my son had 2nds, 3rds...!) *Brilliant value *Emotional development - this place excels at gently coaching emotional resilience, loving kindness, good values - my children are set for life with what they learned here. *Other places are run for profit; this place is run for love. Really. My youngest is about to leave, and I am forever grateful to them for this safe, loving place, supporting us all at the most important time in our lives. We were so lucky to have found it.”

“I am an early years practitioner and was lucky enough to spend a day at Karibu to support my professional development. It was so lovely to be a part of a small 'family' for the day. After breakfast we all went on a long walk through the woods, came back for freshly made bread and homemade soup around the table and then enjoyed a quiet afternoon - playdough, dancing, dressing up and time in the garden. Karibu is a very special and unique place that I highly recommend to any family. Thanks for having me for the day!”

“I moved from my son from mother nursery to kiddi caru for several reasons and was very apprehensive as I had heard mixed reviews but I wanted to pop on here to write a review as I honestly could not be happier with the staff, manager, environment and overal nursery. My little boy was made to feel at ease instantly. Communication is fantastic and I think the girls are anazing. Thank you all.”

“A wonderful preschool for children”

“When we were looking for nurseries, we had no idea we would find anywhere this good. A BIG thank you for doing such a good job of nurturing our little munchkin. We couldn't ask for a better start for her. She has always felt happy & secure at LMP, giving us peace of mind & the confidence to leave her in capable hands”

“My little girl (15 months) has settled in so well to nursery since starting back in October. The team in Toddlers have been amazing with her, and they put so much effort into coming up with ideas for creative play. The nursery as a whole do themed days each month which is great and something to look forward to. The Toddlers room is very spacious and has a wide variety of toys and books, and they have a role play corner which they often change up (shop, garden centre, etc). They also offer the opportunity for the children to make and have birthday cake when it's their birthday, for an additional cost, which is a lovely idea. Handovers at the end of the day are very detailed including what they've eaten, how long they've slept and how many nappies they've had. The staff are brilliant and can't do enough for you. I would 100% recommend this nursery.”

“Our daughter has absolutely flourished here thanks to the amazing care she got from the team. Highly recommended.”

“Beautiful setting and really caring and dedicated staff. We felt very supported with helping our two sons settle and thrive here.”

“My daughter has been at this nursery for a couple of months since moving to Bristol. It's such a loving and caring nursery. The manager and staff are so helpful. We feel like we have struck lucky with finding this nursery. I would highly recommend it to others.”

“My child attended Noah's ark and I have been very impressed with their program and child focus approach. I had another child who went to Clifton College and although very good was not at the same level of Noah's ark. All the staff is lovely and they truly care about the child. Unfortunately COVID came and we came back to Australia otherwise we would have loved to continue.”

“Red Bus Coombe Dingle is the most wonderful setting. We have been blown away by their care and what they offer the children and their families. The facilities are brilliant, always varied, exciting and well maintained. The staff are the real stars though, we have had experience of every room (and now on take two with second child) and they are all brilliant, including the wonderful office staff too. You couldn’t find a better early years setting!”

“Anne provides a superb Montessori childcare and educational setting, just the right level of focus & cosy warmth, and well worth the daily drive from Bristol.”

“Our daughter attended for 2 years and had a wonderful time. The outdoor space is great, the communication with us as parents was good, the meals were really varied and nutritious (it's been disappointing seeing school menus now!) but what made the experience so good for our daughter (and gave us peace of mind) were the key workers. There is a good number per group of children and they went above and beyond to make it a fun and warm experience for the kids - every day. They were so friendly. It's clear there's a really good culture there. Thanks all.”

“Outstanding, consistently high standard. Home from home feel. The staff are professional, caring and friendly. The place is very clean. Delighted with the 5* food hygiene rating. Very happy with the service, they continually strive for high quality all round. Fast and efficient communication from the entire team, admin, nursery, accounts, management. We feel like a valued family.”

“We have put our eldest daughter through Cygnets pre-school and our youngest daughter is still there. They have done an exceptional job in helping both to develop. Highly recommend.”
