What Families Have to Say
Melodies is a wonderful preschool with caring and knowledgeable staff, who whole heartedly care for the children and are passionate about what they do, The facilities are fantastic, warm and inviting with lots of great outdoor activities to keep the children engaged and developing - Both my children Lottie and Harry (4 and 2) attend Melodies, The teachers always do the best to nurture them and their personal interests with such a wide range of forever changing activities. My sons speech has developed in leaps and bounds since starting Melodies! the group times and music I feel has really helped with this! I highly recommend Melodies preschool and encourage anyone looking to pop in and check it out for yourself.
I have chosen to send all 3 of my children to Melodies. I looked at a lot of preschools, including private, and Melodies stood out to me for having lower child to teacher ratios than most, provided a structured day, (music time, eating at the table time), and over the 5 years we have been going there every single teacher has been so caring and kind and responsible. I feel my kids are always safe, having fun, and learning as well! Highly Recommend - from a picky Mum
Melodies is a wonderful preschool. We have been part of the Melodies family since 2018 with our daughter attending and now our son. It’s amazing teachers, small size and music program sets it apart. Our daughter started school well-adjusted and prepared thanks to Melodies nurturing and guidance. We highly recommend!
