I cannot recommend Colchester Prep & High School Nursery highly enough! Our daughter has been enjoying
attending this setting for over two years now, she joined when she was two years old. The nursery manager and her wonderful team are nurturing and very caring - it is a positive, safe and kind environment
which our daughter has really thrived in - we feel she has had the best possible start to her education, thanks to the hard work, dedication and experienced team at CPHS - thank you!

I couldn't speak highly of the nursery and teachers enough, my daughter started in January and is loving her time at the nursery and is thriving.

I'm so happy we went with St Margaret's.

My daughter started at Colchester High School Nursery when she was just two years old, and she has absolutely thrived here. As she prepares to move on to primary school this September, I can confidently say that her time at the nursery has been nothing short of amazing.
The nurturing and dedicated
staff have played a huge role in her development, creating a warm and stimulating environment where she felt safe and happy every day. The learning opportunities provided have helped her grow in confidence, independence, and social skills, all while having so much fun.
I'm incredibly grateful for the care and support she has received, and I highly recommend Colchester High School Nursery to any parent looking for a fantastic early years experience for their child!

Our little boy joined the nursery in September, after his second birthday. We are so happy with it and the way he talks about what he does is phenomenal. He goes in to early morning breakfast club without any issues. We know and trust that all the staff there know him and will look out for him. He even
greets the teachers from the main school and they always smile back. Each day we get feedback in the notebook or through the online portal.
He has made friends, thrived in the small group sizes and gets to learn lessons like French, Computing and Music. He also attends Forest School once a week which he really enjoys. He loves playing in the outdoor space and will tell us what he has been learning or doing each day.
We've watched him grow and develop in the space of 6 months into an even more confident and happy child.
I have recommended the Nursery to many of my friends because we have nothing bad to say.
Thank you CPHS nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Since first visiting the school when our child was 6-months and now having attended the nursery for a year, we are so happy with the progress he is making and the wonderful nursery environment at St. Margaret's. The nursery teachers are so attentive giving personal updates at the end of the day and
provide updates via an app sharing activities the children have been involved in. A lot of thought is given to help the children learn through various activities throughout the day. The outdoor space is wonderful along with the schools facilities and the opportunity to meet teachers from the prep school and have classes with them too like P.E.
We recently completed a parent survey to share our thoughts/feedback. The Head Teacher sent a personalised written letter to thank us for our feedback which demonstrates the personal approach of the school/nursery.
It truly is the little things that gives St.Margarets it's magic. Our little one is very happy, so we are happy!!

St Margarets is more than just your typical childcare nursey. With a real emphasis on development and learning in a fun and caring environment it supersedes all expectations. My daughter absolutely loves every moment spent at St Margaret's and often asks at the weekends if she can go to "school" today!
The facilities, teachers, staff, communication, level of education and opportunities for young minds is outstanding. As a parent you place your child, the most precious person in your world, in the hands of a nursery in hope that they are everything that they promise. St Margaret's exceed every promise made and I am so thankful for all that they do for my daughter. Their dedication and commitment truly deserves recognition for the outstanding work that they do.

His speech and confidence have grown since starting and he loves telling us about the learning he has done. Parents are kept up to date with school life via daily written

We transferred our 3 year old daughter to Colchester Prep and High School Nursery midway through the year as we were dissatisfied with her previous nursery. Within 2 days of starting, she had bonded with the staff, settled into the routines and was excited about going into nursery in the morning and
asking to attend on more days. This year she is absolutely loving nursery still, and gaining great enjoyment from the wide range of activities available, including phonics, music, PE, cookery, forest school. We are delighted with the way she is being supported in her early years learning and it is all testament to the sensitivity, care and professionalism of the fantastic nursery team. Our younger daughter will be joining as soon as she turns 2. A really wonderful environment!

We couldn't be happier with the exceptional care and education provided by the nursery. The facilities are second to none, offering an enriching and immersive environment where every corner inspires learning and exploration. The abundance of high-quality resources ensures children are constantly engaged
and stimulated, setting a firm foundation for a flying start to reception.
The care here is profoundly character-building and focused on setting the children up for success, fostering both kindness and independence. Activities are thoughtfully designed to captivate young minds and encourage creativity. The staff are simply outstanding - attentive, nurturing and incredibly skilled. A special mention goes to the manager, whose exceptional dedication and warmth leaves a lasting impact on both children and parents. Thank you. We would highly recommend this nursery.

My son (3) started here in September this year, after a few stay-and-play sessions. We were keen for him to have a smooth transition into pre-prep for Sept 25.
He was with a previous childcare provider 4 days a week, but before the summer had become more reserved and not progressing. He wasn't joining
in at song time anymore, completely out of character, he lost his confidence and we were so worried.
However, after only a term at St Mag's he is flourishing, he loves the teaching staff and chatters the whole way home about his new friends and what he has learned. Today he had his first Christmas play, he sang his little heart out in front of all the parents. Learned the words and the actions and we are so impressed with how much he has progressed and regained his confidence in such a short space of time.
The lunches are of excellent quality and choice.
All the staff are so helpful and informative.
They really go beyond expectations and deliver excellence, we are so grateful for St Margaret's.
