Eight adults on the bus were also hurt in the crash on the A3290 slip road onto the Sutton Seeds Roundabout just before 8.30am.
One child and an adult may need to be brought to hospital, according to the South Central Ambulance Service.
A Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service spokesperson said it was initially called to a vehicle fire on the slip road.
It then discovered the scene of the crash and the bus’s engine on fire on arrival.

Fire crews were on scene for around two hours as they extinguished the blaze and gave emergency care.
Drivers are being warned to avoid the area due to travel disruption.
Thames Valley Police has said that the A3290 is currently closed following the crash.
The force states: “We are currently on the scene of a multi-vehicle collision on the A3290 Sutton Seeds roundabout in Earley.
“We are supporting colleagues from @RBFRSofficial and South Central Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust and the road is currently closed.
“There are no serious injuries, but we would urge drivers to please avoid the area while the incident is dealt with.”
There was a separate two-car collision on the same slip road earlier this morning, but nobody was injured, according to South Central Ambulance Service.
It comes after another school bus left a road in Kent and ended up in a ditch, tipping forward.
Emergency services rushed to the scene at 8am to help passengers leave the bus, and there were no reported injuries.
The Stagecoach vehicle was reportedly full of school children when it left the road.
Stagecoach have since confirmed that the incident involving one of their school buses is under review.
Earlier, drivers were warned of delays on roads near the A28 due to the crash.
But traffic has since returned to normal.
