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.

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!

Reply from Sandra Copping, Operations Manager at 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.

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.

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.

My son started at Colourbox Montessori School in the summer of 2021. From day one he has been incredibly happy, quite often walking in without a 'goodbye mum!'. He has learnt so much in such a short period of time, surprising myself with language and knowledge that has only been learning at nursery.
I feel when he starts school in September he will be more than ready.
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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.889)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.889) out of 10 for Colourbox Montessori School - Haverhill is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 37 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 35 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.889 for Colourbox Montessori School - Haverhill is calculated as follows: ( (406 Excellents x 5) + (22 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 440 Ratings = 4.889

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Colourbox Montessori School - Haverhill is based on 35 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 76 number of registered child places is 15.2, which has been reached with 35 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
