Testimonials

Emma and Ben are both proof of all the things you and your team are doing for our little ones. Emma started off with you when you were looking after a handful of kiddies at your house, and five years on, she graduated from Singing Forest as a confident, aware Grade R. Heather I believe without a doubt Emma would never have flourished in any other school, as she did at Singing Forest. In her Grade R year, which was a little more challenging for her, you and your team took the time to find out wha…
My son joined The Singing Forest for his (2nd) Grade 0 year.  Everything that his previous school got so badly wrong with him (and his mum!), Singing Forest just naturally did right. They truly work with the individual and understand that we are all different and embrace this!  I have never felt any pressure as the parent to sort things out, only good communication and a genuine need to sort out any issues that may crop up.  Another very important aspect for me was the timing of parent evenin…
I heard about this fantastic crèche from a friend and being a first time parent one always has their doubts. Heather is the school principal and when I contacted her she was more than willing to assist with everything. From day one I loved what they did and my daughter is now more alive and has really grown in the time she has been here. The teachers and staff love our children like their own and look after them better than sometimes we can. I want to thank everyone there for their part in…
Our eldest daughter has been at Singing Forest for three and a half years and our younger daughter for 7 months. I have been so happy with the school, standard of teaching, quality of teachers and friends that they have made. As a parent one is often nervous of sending one’s babies to be cared for by others and I can honestly say that from the first day the staff at Singing Forest have put my mind at rest. A few years down the line my daughter has a genuine love of learning and natura…

“My very defiant, headstrong and michievious little boy has spent a year and a half at Singing Forest – and I cannot praise the school and staff highly enough. The loving & supportive environment they have created ensured our little man could be himself, but could also find his way and his place in a montessori classroom context; he has developed and grown under the care and facilitation of Aneesa and Andrea in particular. Tha…
Heather,  you are doing an amazing job!   My mother thinks Boston is way ahead of his 12 cousins in manners, neatness, consideration for others and just general grown up attitude.   I very much attribute this to school.  Obviously we work on this at home but I know it’s MOSTLY school.   You should see his room.  It has to be absolutely spotless at all times.  He won’t go to bed without everything being put away and boy oh boy, everything has it’s place.   LOVE IT!

Heather,
Just wanted to check in real briefly to let you know how grateful I am for your team. The staff are so loving and nurturing not to mention, young cool and stylish.
My children are transitioning nicely and I’m grateful we joined your school.
No matter what bumps are ahead for them, at least I know the few hours they are on your campus, they are in great hands.

Dear Andrea, Heather and the Singing Forest team
I would like to extend my greatest gratitude for the beautiful work you put in educating and raising my Melo.
She has grown to be a smart and independent little girl. As a result of your contribution in her growth I can relate to the saying “it takes a village to raise a child”  – the Singing Forest team has been such a positive influence in her development.
I’m sure I …
Hi Heather I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate everything you and your staff have done to help Khensani She’s gone from being a very reserved child to being a confident, bubbly, focused little girl! You’ve helped build the foundation for improved learning achievement, focus and social interactions. The impact of your help is so significant. It will help her for the rest of her life. I truly can’t thank you enough and will be forever grateful. Much Appreciated Love …
