My little baby girl goes to this nursery, and honestly I have nothing but the most amazing things to say about all staff members, I will start with Rose, whose smile could brighten anyone’s day and whose motherly, nurturing approach always assures me that my child is in a loving environment. Jodie and Kelly always go above and beyond to make each and every child that enters through the door, feel extremely special almost like two paparazzis waiting at the door for the little celeb to walk in. ;) Last but the least, the lovely Megan, always ensures my child feels safe, happy and comfortable. Over the last few months I have noticed her nappies are changed regularly, they ensure she drinks good amount of water, is well hydrated, her meals are eaten well, she is well rested and most importantly their day is well spent with activities and going outdoors. I am also made aware of any development milestone. Most of all at the end of a tiring day from work, they are full of smiles never making me feel rushed to take my child home by having a genuine interest in communicating with the parents with updates. All in all, a great team! Well done guys for creating a almost real home away from home for my precious one and she has made a few friends already Thank you
Read on GoogleFor any parent that is anxious about leaving their little one, I can assure you that your child is in good hands at Melrose Nursery. The staff are extremely bubbly and are always happy, understanding and caring. They are always happy to help. My son absolutely loves going to the nursery! They helped him achieve all of his age related targets. I am so happy we chose Melrose ❤️
Read on GoogleThe best decision my husband and I made was to send our daughter to Melrose on the Hill, from the age of 2. Our daughter has flourished beyond our imagination all thanks to the amazing staff members, they’ve always gone above and beyond, we can’t praise them enough! The level of care and passion is fantastic. The nursery setting itself is brilliant, the well thought out acitivities for children, lovely hot lunches, weekly football and dance sessions run by external companies, events such as sports day and graduation ceremonies have always been a hit! Our daughter has now started Reception this September after 3 years at Melrose and she still talks about Melrose and misses everyone so much, they have left a lasting impression on her and us as parents. We are forever thankful and we miss the nursery so much! Highly recommend Melrose on the Hill!
Read on GoogleI am father of 4 young children, all of whom have attended Melrose on the Hill over the past 8 years. This is an incredible nursery with wonderful staff. The nursery has provided my children with the best possible start in life. Three of my children have now graduated Melrose on the Hill and are in Primary School. They started reception and were well ahead of their peers with writing, phonics and confidence due to the amazing work Melrose did with them. My youngest still attends Melrose. He is autistic and the staff at Melrose have gone above and beyond to ensure he settled into nursery comfortably and that his special needs are being met daily. The management and staff are extremely friendly yet highly professional. I am grateful to Kim, Noor and the rest of the team for the dedication they have shown to the children, allowing them to learn, grow and flourish.
Read on GoogleAmazing staff with so much heart and caring mindset. It was wonderful seeing my son get excited about going to nursery here, even though he has started reception now. he still talks about Melrose and friends he made there. The teachers really make an effort to engage the kids and develop them in individualised way. The management is really committed to providing a safe, fun, and loving environment.
