Would you put a nursery child on a 25-minute van ride? Looking at Pallavi Progressive in Alwal

Nursery for our son is next June, if all goes to plan. Pallavi Progressive High School in Alwal came onto our list because it runs up to class 10, which would spare us a second admission hunt. From our place in Secunderabad it's about 25 minutes by car on a normal morning. I teach most mornings, so realistically it would be the school van. Is that too long for a three year old? If anyone has small children going there, or anywhere similar, how do the little ones manage on the van?

    bowenpally here, ours is only a baby but alwal schools are on our list too. 25 mins sounds long for a 3 yr old tbh

      We drive ours, but at his preschool the van kids seem fine by the second month. Lots of tears at the gate the first few weeks. Then they fight over the window seat 🤷

      Worth asking what the actual ride time would be, not the drive time. A 25-minute drive can be a 50-minute route once a van has done all its stops. Early on the route, it's long; near the end, it's fine.

      Hadn't thought about route order at all. I'll ask them where our stop would fall before we go any further. Thanks.
