Review from Sorcha M (Mother of Child) published on 28 July 2021 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

We cannot express how grateful we are for all the team at Colourbox have done for our son in the 3.5 years he has been attending the nursery. From the moment we first saw Colourbox we knew it was the only child care setting that we could imagine him going to and that is a decision we haven’t regretted.

Our son has really blossomed at Colourbox and as he is now leaving to start reception we know will continue to flourish at school and beyond. The team has played a huge part in laying great foundations through their teaching skills and Montessori approach and by just being the caring, kind and conscientious people they are.
Our daughter will be starting in 2022 and I am sure she will love it too!

Reply from Sandra Copping, Operations Manager at Colourbox Montessori School - HaverhillThank you for your wonderful review, good luck at school.

Overall Experience

I found colourbox by chance, due to Covid-19 my regular childcare stopped due to family having to isolate. This nursery was still open for key workers so I went along for a look. It was the best thing to ever happen for my son. The staff are lovely and caring. They treat my boy how I would and I couldn’t

ask for more. Since being at the nursery, he has progressed so much with his speech and the staff offer support to aid his learning. They give regular feedback. To add to that they get the kids outdoors and let them learn about the environment and provide ‘home cooked’ meals. Amazing staff and a lovely environment. Highly recommended.

Reply from Sandra Copping, Operations Manager at Colourbox Montessori School - HaverhillThank you for such a lovely review. We’ve welcomed many new children due to Covid and it’s been lovely to see how well they have all settled and progressed.

Overall Experience

I can't praise the work all staff do enough, so committed, dedicated and with love for the children's development. The rooms are big and filled with loads of great activities. The home-cooked food is amazing and our little one always eats so well when at nursery. This is my second child going to Colourbox

and he enjoys it just as much as his older sibling did.

Reply from Sandra Copping, Operations Manager at Colourbox Montessori School - HaverhillSuch a fantastic review, thank you. We all love Colourbox home cooked food!

Review from Hannah W (Mother of Child) published on 22 January 2021 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

We are very happy with the progress our daughter is making at Colourbox. Our daughter joined the 'nest' at 9 months and has never said to me or her father "I do not want to go to nursery", quite the opposite in fact and she is almost 4 now.
We like the dynamic nature of the curriculum; She is taught

elements in mathematics, literacy, art and design, communication and language.
But more than this the wonderful team at Colourbox have helped shape our daughter into an expressive, confident and happy person. People comment on our daughters' excellent manners and communication skills and I know this is the result of the Montessori way and ethos at Colourbox. As a parent, I have nothing negative to say about this nursery.
The staff and managers have been superb, especially re covid. There have been times where we have needed additional days due to work commitments and this has always been organized super quickly so that we are stress-free. Thank you to all at Colourbox Haverhill.

Overall Experience

Colourbox Montessori are a team of fantastic professionals that provide outstanding care and education. My son has been in their care since 2017 (8 months old) and his progress and development throughout the years has been remarkable. One of the few nurseries to maintain the high level of care, education

and safeguarding of children throughout the dreadful Covid 19 pandemic.
Thank you Montessori Team, you are amazing!

Overall Experience

I am pleased with how my child has settled into the nursery earlier on in the year despite the current global situation, the staff have remained professional and have been very welcoming throughout this difficult time. My child really enjoys being at Colourbox and she has come on leaps and bounds since

being at nursery and always gets excited when she knows it is a nursery day.

Overall Experience

My twins have been coming to Colourbox since they were 9 months old and they are now nearly 4. They have thrived and we couldn’t have been happier with our choice of nursery. The staff are so kind and more than happy to answer any questions or have a chat about my children’s progress. During the pandemic,

I have felt so safe sending my children to Colourbox and I know that they have gone above and beyond to keep everyone, staff and children, as safe as can be.

Reply from Sandra Copping, Operations Manager at Colourbox Montessori School - HaverhillThank you for such a super review and for recognising the lengths our staff have gone to this past year. We are very proud of them.

Overall Experience

Colourbox is such a lovely nursery where the staff are professional, loving, caring and dedicated to giving the children a great start to their education and also provide food cooked by their own chef.
Our daughter has developed very well and we can see how much she enjoys her time at Colourbox by

her excitement when we pick her up at the end of the day.
Thoroughly recommended!

Reply from Sandra Copping, Operations Manager at Colourbox Montessori School - HaverhillThank you for your lovely review and for mentioning our wonderful staff and lovely chef, we really do have the most delicious food.

Review from Sarah L (Mother of Child) published on 19 January 2021 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My little boy has been coming to Colourbox for over a year and I can’t recommend them enough.
The staff are all fantastic. From the time we had our first meeting I just knew I wanted my son to start there. I was very nervous as he had always been with me but I knew it was good for him.
From settling

in they helped ease my nerves. He was comfortable within just a few sessions and has thrived ever since.
After lockdown, he went back and had a few moments of needing to settle in again but again the staff were fantastic and only took a couple of sessions to resettle.
He has learnt so much, has become so much more confident, he is so happy there and that’s the best reassurance I need.
The school is so clean. They provide healthy food. The range of activities is amazing too.
I wish he could stay there for primary school years!
Thank you so much Colourbox.

Reply from Sandra Copping, Operations Manager at Colourbox Montessori School - HaverhillSuch a wonderful review, thank you. Having a settling period to meet the needs of each child is so important. We are delighted that you are so happy.

Overall Experience

We cannot recommend Colourbox Haverhill, our daughter has been going since she was 7 months and is now three and loves every day she goes as each day is full of new adventures and learning developments.
The full team including the office team are great, always very helpful, caring, welcoming and make

every little person feel special.
We feel sending our little girl to Colourbox has been one of the best starts we could have possibly given her in life.

Reply from Sandra Copping, Operations Manager at Colourbox Montessori School - HaverhillWe love our daily adventures as much as the children, thank you for such a fabulous review.

Review from Nikole S (Mother of Child) published on 19 January 2021 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

I have sent both my children to Colourbox and throughout our Montessori journey, the whole family has loved every moment. The staff are superbly trained and share an ethos of child development that both of my (extremely different) little people have thrived under. Most specifically my youngest who started

his journey in November at 18 months old, after largely being a lockdown baby with very little ability to socialise for 9 months of this year, is already looking forward to his 'school' days and waves me away happily in the morning so he can go off and start his fun and exciting day. I would recommend this nursery to anyone. 5 stars isn't enough.

Overall Experience

Excellent, well run nursery. Our youngest currently goes there and our eldest also went there. Days are structured and there is a strong focus on learning through play. They spend plenty of time outside and sit down for proper meals. We feel the staff at Colourbox have really helped our girls develop

and set them up well for school. Highly recommended.

Overall Experience

Absolutely love this place! My daughter who is 2.5 has been going for approx over a year and from the moment she went in she has loved it! (She’s normally quite clingy) the staff are just the best, they take each individual child and look after their needs! There’s nothing they won’t do to make sure

that child is happy!
They are always smiling (I need some of what they’re having haha) so polite and so professional! I feel like a pain sometimes asking for things or saying “oops we forgot” but the ladies just take it in their stride and deliver!
They have helped my daughter become so independent and she has learnt so much, much more then I could have taught her... she comes home teaching me things! (And she only goes 2 days a week!) Could not recommend the staff at this nursery highly enough... as it is the staff that make this place as wonderful as it is!! Thank you, ladies, for everything you have done and continue to do!!

Reply from Sandra Copping, Operations Manager at Colourbox Montessori School - HaverhillWe absolutely love our nursery too. Thank you for such a fabulous review. We hope your review encourages others to come and look too.

Overall Experience

Fantastic nursery, both our children attend, the nursery equips children with life skills and gives them confidence and independence. We would most definitely recommend Colourbox to other parents. During the last year, they have kept our son safe and given him normality during very unusual times.

Reply from Sandra Copping, Operations Manager at Colourbox Montessori School - HaverhillThank you for recommending us, encouraging independence is so important for children and we love seeing how confident they all become at Colourbox.

Both of our children have attended Colourbox, and have learnt so much from their time there, the staff are brilliant, the learning facilities are fantastic, and the Montessori style of teaching was exactly what we wanted for our children. I highly recommend anyone looking for a nursery for their children

to visit Colourbox and see for yourself.
