Saturday mornings in Knaphill are a favourite starting point for families from Woking, Bisley and Brookwood. Parking is on the doorstep, and the half-hour is paced for little attention spans.
When they are ready for Reception, children step into First Ballet, Modern & Tap - still with Melody Bear, with a little more technique.
