My son has been at Colourbox Montessori School - Haverhill since the start of 2022 and he absolutely loves it. He has learnt so much whilst also having lots of fun and the staff are wonderful. Can’t fault the nursery at all.
Thank you for you lovely review. I will be sure to pass this on to the Haverhill staff for all their hard work.
My son has been attending since September 2022 and being a first-time mother it was hard to watch my child go into a new environment, especially without me, but the staff made this an easy transition by answering all questions and always giving me an update on his day when collecting at the end of the session. My son is always excited to go to nursery and runs in without looking back which really shows me that he enjoys the time he spends there, which is the most important thing to me. Both my son and I enjoy looking at the pictures of his day and talking about the activities that he has enjoyed which are always educational yet hands-on, which is something that is really nice to see as he enjoys similar activities at home and it really is nice to get a visual understanding of what they are doing too. I cannot recommend this nursery more.
Such a special, heartfelt response. Thank your for this lovely review, we are so pleased to hear how happy your child is at Colourbox.
Nothing is too much to ask of the staff at Colourbox, they have been fabulous.
My eldest daughter attended throughout lockdown and was potty trained, with the help of Colourbox, very very quickly, just before her second birthday.
They are a fantastic team in each of the rooms. Would recommend them to anyone.
Thank you for this lovely review. I will be sure to share this with the Haverhill staff, as they will be so pleased to hear their efforts, hard work, and absolute outstanding care of the children is appreciated.
My daughter loves going to this nursery, she walks herself through the gate with a smile and the staff are lovely and there are lots of activities for the children to do. My daughter's speech has definitely improved since going here, she sings along to songs and is starting to recognise colours, therefore, I think this is an excellent school.
Thank you for this lovely review. The sound of children singing happily is one of the most wonderful things about nursery education. We are all so happy we get to share those milestones of learning and development with you.
My child’s development in the last year whilst attending Colourbox has been startling. His self-awareness, self-resilience, sense of self and others have all increased. Even small things like taking his plate to the kitchen and putting rubbish in the bin are now done all the time without asking. He is conscious of others' feelings and expresses himself clearly. I feel he is fully ready to tackle school and has learnt so many skills he would have otherwise not learnt by this age. I am thoroughly impressed.
Thank you for this lovely review. Your child seems to be enjoying the independence and sense of self that truly shines in a Montessori environment and it is so wonderful to see that you can appreciate that at home and in his readiness for school.
As a working parent, the number of policies in place where children get sent home (incl. when teething) makes it challenging for working parents. Children are sent home when it’s too hot despite the nursery having air-con. I rarely get two weeks in a row where a child isn’t sent home due to something that could be resolved with a common sense approach.
Considerable additional costs are added when the ‘30 free hours' kick in so you won’t get your full entitlement. Be prepared as your bill won’t reduce much when they turn 3.
My children will be leaving this nursery in July as I am unable to juggle work alongside the provision offered.
Thank you for your review. It is sad that you decided to leave as the issues you raised regarding Colourbox's policies have been clarified with you, including our duty of care to protect our children, staff, and wider community from the spread of infectious illnesses. The facilities, philosophy,...
Each room is well equipped, spacious and modern and kept in very good condition. The staff are great, particularly the room leader/my daughter's key person. I also love how detailed their app is on a daily basis so I can see what they've been learning today. I feel completely confident that my daughter is being really well prepared for school and she is turning into a very independent and capable little girl, thanks to Colourbox and their team.
And to top it all off, safety is a number one priority. The facility is completely secure. It's like Fort Knox - no one is getting in or out of that place that shouldn't be.
Cannot recommend enough!
Thank you for your review. Security, cleanliness and a fabulous early years education are so important. Thank you for choosing Colourbox.
His confidence and independence have grown greatly, alongside his speech which has been amazing to see and I'm grateful for his teachers' involvement in that process. He often comes home talking about something new he learnt while with them and even goes to get his shoes and coat ready to ask to go to nursery. It's nice to know his teachers love him and the other children they look after. I do wish there was a little more parent partnership in place, however, they do an amazing job of caring for him and helping his learning and development. Any and all issues have always been handled appropriately and quickly by management as well. I would recommend this nursery to people who would love to see their child thrive and gain their own independence.
Excellent nursery! Everything is top notch and I’ve noticed a significant change in my 3-year-old since she started attending Colourbox Montessori School Haverhill. She’s so happy going in each day and has started to come out of her shell and interact more with other children her age where beforehand she was always too shy. Wonderful healthy, hearty food, with a calm, pleasant and fun educational environment. The staff are fantastic. What more could you want.
Thank you for your wonderful review. You’re right, Colourbox has everything a child needs.
Our little girl has become so confident and learnt so much within the last year of attending Colourbox Montessori School - Haverhill. She loves her key worker and goes into the nursery smiling and doesn’t look back. Thank you to all the staff at Colourbox Montessori School - Haverhill for all your fantastic work, especially over the last couple of years with Covid-19.
Thank you for your fabulous review. The Haverhill team will love reading this.
An amazing nursery, with a lovely provision and very kind and supportive staff members. The food is included in the price and there are lots of hands-on resources and activities that the children can engage with. They use an app where they send daily photos and summaries of activities so we can always be involved with what our child is learning. All these pictures and summaries show us what an amazing time our child has at nursery, as well as the experiences and vocabulary he engages with and the social skills he is building. The app also allows the nursery to send half-termly reports with up-to-date Early Years Foundation Stages statements and targets, which is great for seeing the progress our child has made and for being able to plan ahead. All our communication with the nursery is handled quickly and efficiently, which is especially helpful as working parents. The staff we speak to at the gate are always very positive with us and seem to have a great rapport with our child and genuinely seem happy to greet him each day.
The team at Haverhill will be delighted with your wonderful review. They really do love every day with the children. Thank you.
This is the best nursery in Cambridgeshire and Essex, if not in the entire UK. I am a mother of three kids and all of them attended the nursery and I am extremely grateful for the professionalism, attitude, care and attention to detail that all my kids have experienced. You guys deserve one hundred percent support and endorsement. Any parent who cares about their kids' development should send them to Colourbox Montessori School - Haverhill!
Wow, thank you for being such a passionate advocate for Colourbox. We absolutely agree with you. Every child deserves to attend an outstanding nursery.
The staff are really friendly and they made our son feel so welcome - he loves coming to the nursery each day and I drop him off with a smile on his face. The facilities are really clean and stimulating. Our son has a lot of fun there.
A lovely review, thank you for taking the time to write about our Haverhill nursery.
My son loves going to nursery. It has lovely, caring staff, is great at updating us on their daily activities and is professional and safe in their approach. They do lots of activities during the day but all very child-led so he has lots of time for self-directed play. I’m really happy with the care he gets here and they have always been great at communicating with parents too.
Thank you for your lovely review. The team at Haverhill will enjoy reading this.
Our daughter always looks forward to attending Colourbox Montessori School and has a great bond with other children and with staff. She has a great learning experience at the school and it has really helped her development, especially during the periods of lockdown when social interaction was otherwise limited.
Thank you for your lovely review. We can really see how nursery benefitted children during lockdown too.
Excellent care provided by the staff, always attentive to the needs of each individual child. Both my children who have attended this nursery have come on in leaps and bounds since starting here, it's a pleasure to watch how they develop and grow!
Thank you for your lovely review, the team always appreciate receiving reviews.
For a short time, he was having lunch at nursery which made him explore and try new foods.
The nursery practitioners and management team have been very supportive during a bereavement, supporting not only my son but myself.
Highly recommend.
Thank you for taking the time to write a lovely review. We are always here to support our families.
They have been amazing at helping my daughter become independent. She loves going into nursery, I love that they spend so much time outdoors and also have been amazing at helping us with potty training from as young as 15-months. They put a lot of effort into making the day varied and letting kids do as much as possible for themselves.
Independence at such an early age is so important, it helps a child grow in confidence. Thank you for such a lovely review.
Fantastic nursery, my son has excelled since beginning here in his confidence, speech, independence and character. The staff are always very caring towards him. The meals are prepared fresh and always have great feedback from my son about them.
Thank you for such a lovely review. We love the meals too, our delicious menus and our fabulous cook make every mealtime a treat.
The progress my child has made has been incredible and Colourbox Montessori School has had a significant role in that. I can't recommend this nursery highly enough.
Thank you for such a fabulous review. Making the best nursery choice for your child is so important.
