Our daughter joined Melrose in Jan 2026 after our previous nursery was sadly closed down. I was apprehensive about how she would settle after creating bonds with staff and other children in her old setting.
I had nothing to worry about, the complete opposite in fact! She settled within the first
week, and is completely at home with all the staff and fellow children. Some days its a struggle to convince her its "home time" as she is having so much fun.
I could not recommend Melrose enough!! We are now expecting our second child and know how well they will be looked after from day one!

The best childcare setting in, and beyond Salisbury. It's absolutely top notch in facilities, experience and enthusiasm. I felt utter relief once I found this place because it is the best and only the best will do: Up until then, I very much felt like I was having to choose a 'good enough'
setting.
My child is thriving and so happy here.

We have 3 children, 2 that are now in school so have seen our fair share of nurseries, the warmth and reassurance from every member of staff stood out. The care they show isn't just part of the job it's genuine, consistent and heartfelt. It's clear that Mel and Rose have built something very
special; the team they have created is, in our view, exceptional. There isn't one person we could single out because each member of staff contributes to the nurturing, supportive environment that makes Melrose what it is. The difference in our son since joining this nursery is something we never imagined possible in such a short time. He feels secure, understood and valued. His confidence has grown enormously and he is truly flourishing.
Melrose isn't just a nursery, it's a place where children are genuinely cared for, supported and encouraged to thrive. We are beyond grateful for the impact they have had on our son and our family. We believe Melrose is truly the best nursery in Salisbury

My little girl is due to start next year and I cannot fault my experience from the get go. The communication has been brilliant from reaching out and booking in for a tour. I viewed the setting in the evening and booked a further tour to view the nursery in the day so I could see their garden space.
I was welcomed in both times and felt so comfortable and knew this is where I wanted my little girl to spend her most important early years.
The passion from the staff I felt is brilliant and everyone was so friendly. The indoor spaces and the environment is stunning and the garden space is everything a child would want and more!
Do not delay to view this little space of wonder!

Wow! I honestly don't know where to begin. Our daughter was extremely emotional at her previous nursery, especially during drop-offs and it became quite traumatic for me. After only a week at Melrose, she completely stopped crying during drop-offs. She's now been at Melrose for nearly a month, and
in that short time she has built strong bonds with everyone and is flourishing in her new setting. We are beyond grateful to Mel, Rose, Daisy, Emily, and the whole team. From one very thankful mum, thank you for restoring my confidence in our daughter's care. Willow adores you all.

The new ownership of Melrose Nursery has completely transformed the setting. Prior to this I was looking into other settings to move my children to. My daughter now skips in happily everyday, always has a smile on her face and has developed so much in the last few months. My son has now moved on to
school but was really sad to leave nursery and loves going back to visit when we collect his sister. The new ownership has brought a huge changes in terms of the building itself with all the work that has been done but most notably the happiness of the staff. It's clear they now feel valued, appreciated and are happy to be there each day.

Since the new ownership, Melrose Nursery has completely transformed into an outstanding setting. The owners demonstrate real commitment to children's welfare, supported by professional, well-trained and caring staff. The curriculum is engaging, carefully planned and adapted, ensuring children are
happy, motivated and progressing well. The nursery promotes kindness, respect and independence, with calm routine and a nurturing atmosphere. Safeguarding is prioritised, facilities are secure and the refurbished environment, including safe and inviting outdoor area, encourages confidence and curiosity. We feel complete trust here and will send our second child in future.

Beautiful Nursery and great staff. My daughter has grown immensely and enjoys going to Melrose Nursery everyday. The environment is spacious, well organised and we, as parents, get updates daily and monthly regarding our child's development and how she's been settling in. There's plenty of space and
activities the nursery arrange everyday. The nursery is clean and well put together. Member of staff are attentive and helpful. Overall satisfied.

I am a mother of two, with both children attending Melrose nursery. I genuinely can't say enough good things about it. My boys are really happy and absolutely love the staff. The staff are wonderful, kind, caring and experienced. You can tell they value and care about each individual child. The
space is great as well, lovely open rooms, very clean, everything is brand new and beautiful. It's only been a few months but you can already tell it's going to be one of the top nurseries in Salisbury. Highly recommend!
