Colourbox Montessori School - Red Lodge

We couldn't be happier with our son's experience at this nursery, this is our second son who has attended the setting and we had no hesitations in him following in his brothers footsteps. From the very beginning, the staff have been welcoming, caring, and genuinely invested in his development and happiness. He has grown so much in confidence, communication, and social skills, and it's clear he feels safe and supported in their care, always leaving with a smile on his face. The activities are engaging and well thought out, encouraging learning through play while also nurturing creativity and independence, leading with true Montessori ethos. As parents, it's incredibly reassuring to know he is looked after by such lovely people. We are truly grateful for the positive impact this nursery has had on our son and would highly recommend it to other families.

I would highly recommend this nursery to other parents.

Today I got the opportunity to join in with Sky Room's weekly Forest School. It was amazing to see the children thrive in the outdoors and have so much fun! They went for a long walk talking about what they could see and hear, they climbed and hung from branches, played games, rolled down the hills and done a scavenger hunt to make a necklace each.

My 2 year old settled straight into nursery after being so warmly welcomed by the whole team. We both benefited from the settling in sessions, I loved going into the nursery setting, seeing all children in the room happy and looked after. My son always comes out so happy and full of stories about what him and his teachers and friends have been up to.

I look forward to hearing all that they get up to in the day and never have any concerns going to work knowing that they are being looked after and learning lots.

Extremely happy to have my little one at the 'Nest' of Colourbox Red Lodge. The staff is warm and well-trained, and truly helped my child to settle in. Parents are kept well informed about the food menu and daily activities. The nursery is well equipped inside and outside with plenty of Montessorian toys for little ones to explore throughout the day. The separate sleeping area is inviting and cozy.

Very happy with the progress of my child at the nursery. She interacts so very well with children and adults alike. She is very advanced with speech and communication which we put down a great amount to the support and care that’s given at Colourbox. She is very independent and confident in so many things she tackles as a toddler. Cannot recommend the nursery enough.

I've had three children through Colourbox Montessori School. My youngest finishes this August for school. I have nothing but high recommendations for this setting. The staff are great, the children always come out happy. The staff always seem happy and chirpy. They've been amazing from 2013 to now. The way they work hasn't changed. So what my oldest learnt through them has been taught to my youngest, even with changes to policies. I love the daily update on the app so you can see what they've been up to when there. Five stars really isn't enough. Keep up the good work.

To describe my son’s progress any better. We know he is in good hands and we are proud of it. Thank You.

My child speaks highly of his teachers. Each day he goes in with a smile on his face. We enjoy reading the daily diary and he is so happy when he’s included in the photos. Observations are always very lengthy and detailed on my child’s development. The staff are very caring and have offered lots of advice on parenting and milestones like potty training. My child has created strong bonds with his teachers and he is learning very quickly since going to Sky Room.

I have two children attend Colourbox one in Garden House and one in Sky Room. Both have done excellently well. Diaries are very detailed and there are also a lot of lovely photos which is nice to sit down with my toddlers and talk about their days. Observations also appear termly and are very detailed about their progress and next steps. The resources available are absolutely beautiful with every piece of work having a learning purpose. My children have learnt respect, independence, and practical life skills by the amazing staff teaching them things like washing up, getting themselves ready, serving their own food etc. Staff care deeply about the children and have helped me start potty training and saying goodbye to the dummy. I wouldn’t have my children go anywhere else.

My daughter has been at Colourbox in Red Lodge since September 2023. She is so happy in there. Her day is full of various activities she enjoys so much. She adapted there so nicely and the personnel is so friendly, supportive and they take such a good care of my daughter. My son used to go to the same nursery 5 years ago and if I had more children, I would choose them again.

My son has been going to Colourbox for the last year and we have been so thankful for it. He has learned so much and has become incredibly independent. He’s made lovely little friends and learned lots of skills and we are very happy with the overall structure of the school!

Our youngest son is still at the nursery, currently in the nest and we can’t praise them enough. The staff are all so caring and my son loves his key worker - his face lights up when she comes to the gate in the mornings and we never have any concerns or worries about him when he is at nursery.

We are very happy with the nursery, good communication from the staff. The staff is very responsive and friendly. Our daughter is really happy to attend and comes back with a smile and newly learned skills. Overall, super positive so far.

I cannot describe how quickly we have watched our daughter grow in confidence since joining Colourbox Montessori School - Red Lodge. My daughter had attended another branch (also an incredible facility) I was nervous about moving her but the team made it a seamless transition. They have supported my daughter through several stages of her development which included toilet training they have been fantastic at instilling the same independence we try to instil at home around toilet use. My daughter speaks very fondly of the staff and teachers at the nursery and I appreciate the time they take to feedback, raise any concerns and encourage our daughter's independence and allow for her personality to develop and shine through so that she is not only a valued classmate but also an individual person in her own right.

At the recent parents' evening, it was clear to see that all resources are of high quality and linked to the developmental stage of the children in the room. It is great to see on their social media pages that their staff are so well trained. I feel this setting fosters a gentle parenting approach to deliver the Montessori philosophy which benefits the development of the whole child.

I was initially apprehensive about sending my firstborn to nursery a little younger than I would have liked to, I needn’t have worried though. My child has grown so much in confidence and their speech has come on leaps and bounds since starting Colourbox. Every time I collect them, they always have a huge grin on their face and are full of chatter about their day on the way home. It was without hesitation that I enrolled my second child to start at Colourbox next year.

My daughter is excited to be part of this nursery, she has improved all her skills. Perfect place. They dedicated to her time and they are all kind and professional. I can't wait until my little daughter will be part of the nursery as her sister.

Colourbox has been fabulous at making my little girl feel comfortable at nursery. She only started in February but she gets so excited now when you say she's going to nursery. The staff are great, they always let you know how they've got on that day and they even notice if your little one is a bit out of sorts which I have never experienced before in a childcare setting. I love seeing all the updates on the app, being able to see what they get up to in their day is lovely. I can't recommend Colourbox enough.
