We started my little boy during Covid and he only attends one day a week. Settling was different to normal but he settled really quickly and now loves going every week. I love the app which gives photos through the day and lets me know what he’s been doing.

Reply from Sandra Copping, Operations Manager at Colourbox Montessori School - Red Lodge

Thank you for your kind review. We love the parent's app too, the Daily Diary is such a great function. We are very pleased that you enjoy it.

They are very good at handling the Covid crisis so far. Also, my child learns so many new things from teachers and all are friendly and lovely. He has become very independent too. Really like the fact that they update the activities by way of pictures every day. Most nurseries don't bother to do this
feedback every day.

I’m so pleased that you enjoy the Daily Diary, the photos each day are fab. Thank you for your great review.

I cannot rate this nursery highly enough. The teachers and staff are fantastic and truly caring - my son (21 months) happily goes in and is genuinely excited to see the teachers and his friends which says it all. My eldest son also went to Newmarket and then Colourbox Montessori School - Red Lodge Colourbox
when it opened and had a fantastic experience throughout. Their confidence and independence have grown as a direct result of their Colourbox journeys. Thank you to the amazing staff for making it a safe, caring and happy place for little ones to grow and develop.

My daughter has been attending Colourbox Montessori School - Red Lodge since she was about 18 months old. The staff here are really amazing, my daughter has really enjoyed being here. They always keep us well informed of all the activities the children are involved in during the day with lovely photos
too. They are very attentive and if we have any concerns they work with us to resolve them, especially during this pandemic, they have managed the situation so well.
I couldn't recommend them enough. Thank you Colourbox for all you do. We really appreciate it.

Such a brilliant review, thank you so much. We are delighted to have supported your little one through the Early Years journey.

This preschool has been amazing with my daughter, she has come on leaps and bounds, we are over the moon with the professionalism and the teaching quality from Colourbox Montessori School - Red Lodge. They have a few rooms and she’s moved up on every step! The staff are always approachable and understanding.
We love the app to see what they have been doing, it’s great. Thank you to all staff for everything you do, you make a huge difference to this world. We would like to say a huge thank you to the staff and manager who make time and effort for these little ones.
Keep safe.

My little girl has attended The Nest room for the past 10 months, and despite all the restrictions etc has settled brilliantly. The staff are so friendly and welcoming when they greet her at the door in the mornings and after only a few weeks she was happily walking into nursery without any tears. I
am so grateful to all the staff for making the nursery a wonderful, safe, fun and nurturing environment for her. My daughter comes out of nursery full of beans and I know she’s had a wonderful day. Thank you again!

Our son loves going to nursery, going through the doors without even saying goodbye to mummy or daddy! The nursery is safe, clean and the staff are friendly. We can see from the daily updates all the fabulous fun they have, which even included going out and playing in the snow this month.

Having a little one born only shortly before lockdown meant I was so worried my little one wouldn't settle as he was only used to being with us. However, he has settled amazingly and we believe that is all because of the staff at Colourbox Montessori School - Red Lodge. They do so many different and
exciting things with the children. We feel so lucky to have our little one is such a great nursery!

Reply from Sandra Copping, Operations Manager at Colourbox Montessori School - Red Lodge

Thank you for your lovely review. The calm atmosphere of a Montessori nursery is even more important for babies born in lockdown. We are so pleased with how well the babies are settling.

My youngest son started Colourbox in September and he has grown to love it, he struggles with changes to his environment and the staff have dealt with this amazingly. He now speaks of going to nursery very fondly and always says he has had a lovely day. The team are amazing and all so friendly. My eldest
son also went to this nursery and they prepared him for school wonderfully, he loved his time at Colourbox and still talks about his favourite leaders and all the fun he had there. We did look at other nurseries in the area but Colourbox won our hearts. Thank you to the wonderful team, you are all doing a great job and adapting so well to the current times.

Our daughter has been attending Colourbox nursery settings since she was 12 months old - originally in another branch and then moving closer to home in Red Lodge following the pandemic and changes to our work schedules. The Colourbox team have been fantastic throughout and clearly care very much about
their role and the impact they can have on children's development.
They have managed to maintain continuity in their operations throughout and have such a lovely staffing team - with our little one growing into a confident, happy and engaged toddler as a result. Catching up on her daily diary via the Colourbox App is the highlight of our day! Our sincere thanks to the team for their energy, perseverance and professionalism through a really tough time.

The nursery provides very stimulating indoor and outdoor activities for children, a very wide range of topics are learnt and promoted continually. They ensure children are given room to learn and play to be independent while teaching them key life skills.
I have had experience of 4 nurseries in the
last 3 years and visited multiple other ones to try to find a place I was completely happy with. This nursery ticks all the boxes and I am very happy we chose it. I feel my children are extremely safe and happy and I would strongly recommend this nursery.
My child is much better prepared for school due to this nursery than my other child was attending other nurseries.
The staff are kind and encouraging and caring and take pride in their work with the children and enjoy watching the children's progress.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.926)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.926) out of 10 for Colourbox Montessori School - Red Lodge 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 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.926 for Colourbox Montessori School - Red Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (202 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 216 Ratings = 4.926

  • 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 - Red Lodge is based on 18 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 31 number of registered child places is 6.2, which has been reached with 18 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.
