This is the best preschool you will find. Both my children do/have attend/ed here and both love it. My eldest is in reception now and still loves this preschool and wishes to visit very often. They both settled very quickly and felt at ease in the setting instantly. The staff are so friendly and caring and you can tell they love their work with the children. They have cultivated a nurturing and community centre environment. The children look forward to attending Heald Green Melodist Pre-School with many others whom follow different cultures and have forged great friendships that have continued into primary school. The preschool ensure the children are happy and develop into young polite, skilled young children with enjoyment for books, nursery songs, confidence in numbers and letters. Thank you so much for all the hard work you have put in with our children, they absolutely love preschool.

Both of my children went to Heald Green Methodist Pre-School from the age of 2-4 and it has been a fantastic experience. We tried a couple of nurseries before but nothing came close to what Fiona and the team provide. They teach with love. The place has great parking and a fantastic outdoor space. I highly recommend!
