Colourbox Montessori School - Haverhill

My son has been attending Colourbox since April 2022. Naturally, I worried about him when he was so upset to go in, but never once was I made to feel like I couldn’t check up on him, in fact I was encouraged to! I would call various times throughout his sessions and each time my call was welcomed which I was very happy about and I was always given the time of day. It took a few months so I’m so grateful to all the staff! He now skips in and is asking to go in at the weekends! My son has thrived at nursery and is coming on leaps and bounds in all areas, especially his speech! He was referred to speech therapy outside of nursery last year, but now he comes home singing new nursery rhymes which he loves to tell me he learned at nursery. There is such a range of resources at the nursery and I never see him playing with the same thing twice. The staff are all so lovely and I can’t sing their praises enough. I have another child who will be starting in a few months. Can’t recommend enough!

Our little girl has been at Colourbox for 6 months now. She loves her nursery teachers and has been developing so much. She has a love for books and every time I collect her I am told how much she enjoys her reading time. We have taken some of the activities she does at the nursery and created them at home, as we are often told how often she enjoys the sensory areas. The staff at Colourbox are really friendly and have bonded so well with her. She recognises them and is very comfortable around them. The staff are brilliant and always very informative with her daily activities. We particularly like the diary we get from the nursery each day she has attended. It really put our minds at ease when we first had her join (being first-time parents, it's always a worry as to what she will think). If you want a nursery that will develop and care for your children then Colourbox is the place to go!

My son has recently started nursery and he loves it there. He is excited to attend and will ask if it's nursery today. He will often be singing songs he has learnt at nursery and talks about the friends he has made. The staff have always been very helpful and happy to discuss any concerns. The food selection is brilliant. The range of activities and learning is great.

2 year old currently attends and has done since the age of 6 months. The nursery has been brilliant from day 1. Daughter is on multiple medications and has multiple dietary requirements and they’ve managed both without any issues. Our daughter is always excited to go to nursery and asks about seeing certain members of staff throughout the week. She sings songs she has learnt at nursery and recites parts of the alphabet. She’s always clean and well-presented when we pick her up. Any problems during the day, the nursery always call to let us know. Communication is excellent. This is our second child to attend the nursery and we always recommend it when we are asked.

Our son is advancing incredibly well due to the great support he’s given at the nursery. He’s excited to go every day and every day seems to come home knowing something new. My son has a restricted diet and they cater for him perfectly. We’re very happy that we chose this nursery!

Both my children have attended Colourbox Montessori School - Haverhill. One from 18 months and one from 8 months, I had no qualms putting my 8 month in the arms of the setting and staff after watching my 18 month old grow and flourish in their care. His speech came on beautifully with them and his character shone. My baby girl has done the same, she has felt confident to share her experiences of life with the staff and despite being a COVID baby, her personality has built and she is now very confident, capable and articulate. I cannot rate this facility highly enough. They are a 100% choice for me. They are also great with me as a parent, and all staff communicate beautifully and clearly through the channels.

My daughter has just started attending Colourbox and has settled in really well. She doesn't cry at drop off or collection, which is a good sign, and babbles away after attending, so we know she has had a busy day with lots of stimulation. The meals provided sound delicious and the staff are very caring and professional. The only slight negative was I thought the induction questionnaire should have been completed a week earlier, as it didn't leave much time to sort out medication for an allergy. Otherwise, this is a fantastic nursery!

We've taken both our kids here and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a nursery. The staff are always friendly and my daughter is always happy and excited to see the staff in the morning. The way they teach here is also brilliant. You can clearly see the differences in a child who has gone to the Colourbox and who haven't.

Our son has attended Colourbox since he was nine months old. Over the last 18 months, he has grown into a caring, attentive and bright young boy and learned so much along the way. He has a lovely relationship with his friends in his room and they seem to have their own little community going on. He also feels safe and well looked after by his teacher who has done so much to help him learn so much. Every week he surprises us with something new! Would recommend Colourbox to anybody.

- overall good for kids learning and social

Haverhill Colourbox Nursery has been amazing for our daughters. We were very cautious about selecting a childcare provider for them and since day one at Colourbox we have felt happy and confident that they are in the best place. We love the freedom they are given to choose which activities they want to do each day. We’ve seen the girls' confidence and development improve massively and we are very grateful to all the wonderful staff who have played a part in this.

I could see over the two years since my son goes here a lot of progress in his speech, overall attitude and expression, things which definitely contributed to his harmonious development. The staff is very caring and professional. I confidently recommend them.

My daughter has attended Colourbox for a year now, starting when she was 7 months old. She is happy to go in the morning and always comes out at the end of the day with a big smile on her face, which speaks for itself! The staff are so friendly and caring and I love getting to see pictures and read about all the activities she gets up to each day, all of which contribute to her ongoing development. The menus are full of healthy meals and have definitely helped her have a wide and balanced diet. I am really happy with the care given at Colourbox and would recommend them to anyone requiring childcare.

Lovely staff and real thought goes into the activities for the children. Our little boy loves it there and goes in and comes out happy. Regular daily updates via the app are really helpful and it’s lovely to see photos of your child each day.

My little girl loves going to school and loves the staff as much as the other children, no favourite because they are all wonderful with her. Her potty training went incredibly well with the help of the staff.

My son has attended Colourbox since he was 6 months old he is now 2 and absolutely loves it, he is always smiling and keen to get through the gate to play. His development has come on in leaps and bounds the staff have always been very supportive and caring and provides a safe environment for my child to be in. I would highly recommend this nursery.

My older son attended Colourbox from 18 months to 4 years. My younger son (22 months) has been attending since September. I chose Colourbox because I love how calm and thoughtful the environment is and how the Montessori approach gives even little ones so much freedom to explore and learn independently. My sons have both been really happy there. The staff are friendly and very professional. My younger one is developing a very strong bond with one staff member in particular - so lovely to see!

My daughter settled in really well here and is always welcomed with a smile in the morning. It's lovely to drop her off knowing she starts her day with a positive greeting, I always leave for work with peace of mind. Thank you.

Colourbox Haverhill has been wonderful for both our children, it is safe, caring and the staff are brilliant. I can't imagine my children going anywhere else. I highly recommend colourbox to anyone looking for a nursery.

My daughter has attended Colourbox for almost a year now. Since she has been there her confidence has grown massively. She was late to walk but the staff always pushed in supporting her to get and helping her walk. She absolutely loves every day there, always so happy to be going and be around the other children and staff. Communication is good with management and staff when needed and always helpful. Cannot fault it.
