At our setting, every child's safety and wellbeing is our highest priority – and that extends far beyond our doors.

We are incredibly proud to have built an outstanding partnership with A to Z Minibuses, our trusted licensed and local private transfer company. Over the past four years, we have worked closely together to provide safe, reliable and enjoyable transport for our children on countless educational visits and exciting adventures. Some of our journeys have taken us almost two hours from home, making it even more important that every child travels in complete comfort and security.

From babies as young as 9 months through to children aged 5 years, every journey is carefully planned with safety at its heart. The wonderful team at A to Z Minibuses understand the unique needs of early years children and families. Their friendly, patient and professional approach helps every journey feel calm, reassuring and enjoyable.

One of the many reasons we value this partnership is the flexibility they offer. Families are welcome to provide their child's own belted car seat or booster if they wish, while A to Z also carry a selection of their own high-quality car seats and boosters to accommodate different ages and stages. Their expertise in transporting children is second to none, as they specialise in school transport and understand that travelling with young children doesn't always go exactly to plan. Whether it's a comfort stop, a little extra patience during emotional moments, or simply putting on some music to make the journey more fun, their drivers always go above and beyond to create a positive experience.

Looking ahead, we are delighted to share that from September, we will be taking our commitment to transport safety one step further. Working in partnership with A to Z Minibuses, we are undertaking extensive research to identify the safest, highest-quality belted car seats and booster seats for children of all ages, heights and weights. Every seat is being carefully selected to ensure full compatibility with the seating systems within their minibuses, enabling us to provide the safest possible travel experience for every child in our care.

By investing in our own professionally selected travel equipment, we hope to make trips even more convenient for families by reducing the need for parents to bring their own car seats, while also supporting A to Z with their own transport commitments and busy school runs. This shared commitment allows us to maintain the highest standards of safety, comfort and convenience for every journey.

Together with A to Z Minibuses, we're proud to provide so much more than transport, we're creating exciting opportunities for children to explore beyond the setting, while ensuring every adventure begins and ends with a safe, secure and enjoyable journey. We are incredibly grateful for this partnership and the reassurance it brings to our children, families and staff, knowing that every child is in the very best hands from the moment they step aboard.
