September 15, 2024 at 8:29 amEvery day she leaves with a big smile on her face and has plenty to tell me about what she has done during the day. She was quite shy in the first few months and often would only playtime by herself but the team were incredible and helped her self‑assurance grow by providing plenty of opportunities for her to build friendships. We adore the daily diary that they send out because it gives us an idea of what she has done and we can ask questions relating to it so we do not have the “I don’t know” when asking her about her day. She enjoys looking at the photos and explaining what is happening in each one. My daughter loves going to this childcare centre.

September 23, 2024 at 3:53 amMy two sons have been with Colourbox Montessori Childcare centre & Pre-School – St Christopher’s for the past 5 years when my eldest was 8 months old and I made the hard decision to go back to work. My youngest son joined a year later. The Colourbox team are just remarkable, welcoming, supportive and just plain incredible. For 5 years you have given my sons the best start in life to education and playtime that I could have ever asked for. You have been there through thick and thin and given my sons the best care. I would never have considered anywhere else and would suggest you without a doubt. You are outstanding and will continue to thrive in the future. Thank you so so much for everything and can’t believe we are leaving you end of August when my youngest starts at school. You truly have given an incredible start to my sons’ lives. Thank you again. Well, what can I say?

I have recently recommended the childcare centre to a friend, who has now enrolled her son for September. My daughter loves coming to childcare centre and has truly excelled in her development, she has become more independent and has made some lovely friends.

October 14, 2024 at 10:56 pmMy son has been going for 2 years now and within the first month, we noticed incredible changes. He was more willing to try new foods, he became more adventurous and wanting to explore and learn more. The team has consistently been incredible and especially during COVID I think they have done a fantastic job of keeping our kids secure and helping bring some normalcy to their lives. Absolutely fantastic in all regards.

October 19, 2024 at 10:11 pmMy elder daughter attended previously, and now my youngest daughter is attending. She loves it, and I wouldn’t send her anywhere else. The team are incredible – consistently putting the kids’s welfare first. Education is outstanding – lots of different activities for the kids to chose from to do. Incredible pre-school.

December 1, 2024 at 2:56 pmShe is generally quiet and shy by nature but Colourbox have definitely helped her develop way beyond our expectations, she thoroughly enjoys her days and often comes home full of exciting tales from the various activities completed that day. The team have all been fantastic throughout the Covid pandemic in keeping the kids secure yet not letting it disrupt their daily activities. Highly recommended. Since starting at Colourbox Montessori Childcare centre & Pre-School – St Christopher’s in June 2020 my daughter has come on leaps and bounds.

December 20, 2024 at 10:58 pmDespite lockdown last year my youngest continued to learn via their interactive Zoom sessions and was ready for primary school in September. I cannot suggest the team and setting highly enough. Both my daughters had a fantastic time with Colourbox Montessori Childcare centre & Pre-School – St Christopher’s and learnt so much.

February 1, 2025 at 2:11 pmThe team are all wonderfully welcoming and nurturing with lovely facilities and equipment. When they had to close in the first lockdown they arranged exceptional Zoom class sessions for the kids with activities, stories and tasks, which my son truly enjoyed. So much thought and care goes in to everything they do at Colourbox, can’t suggest them enough. Thank you! Before moving to the Newmarket site, my son attended Colourbox Montessori Childcare centre & Pre-School – St Christopher’s and loved it.

We adore that you take the kids outside exploring jumping in puddles and feeding the imagination. Thank you for continuing this incredible care through a pandemic! Remarkable preschool with incredible team.

April 14, 2025 at 12:59 amMy daughter has attended since she was 18 months and will soon start school. Team are incredible, consistently smiling and truly care about each kid. The rooms are lovely with lots of interesting activities, and the kids are truly encouraged to be independent in all that they do. Would suggest to any prospective parents. A fantastic childcare centre and pre-school.

May 3, 2025 at 10:58 amEvery morning she asks if she can go to childcare centre and playtime with the kids. She consistently comes back with a smile. The team are highly welcoming and have got lots of patience. My daughter has attended Colourbox for over a year now and absolutely loves being there.

May 24, 2025 at 12:41 pmMy son has truly blossomed since settling in. He struggled with the change initially and all team were fantastic at supporting him and ourselves and truly helped him to settle. His self‑assurance has grown so much and has made lots of little friends. He enjoys his time there and learns so much too and often amazes me with some of the things he talks about. The team are exceptionally attentive and supportive and have made his time at pre-school so fantastic and have prepared him for his reception year so well. Can’t thank you all enough and would absolutely suggest. Incredible pre school.
Alex Bailey
June 13, 2025 at 11:01 amHe has truly come out of his shell since attending. He feels comfortable and well looked after and he has made excellent development in all areas in the 2 months that he has been attending. All of the team here have been absolutely remarkable with my highly shy son.
Toby Holland
June 28, 2025 at 10:47 amThey are all highly welcoming, greeting us daily with a smile. My son consistently goes in cheerful and excited to learn. The setting has most definitely had a huge impact on helping him prepare for reception class in September 2022 and we couldn’t be more pleased. Cheerful parent. Thank you all, especially the room leader who consistently does an outstanding job, lovely handovers and my son is consistently thrilled to see! Childcare centre assistants and practitioners are highly special people. Our son started at Colourbox Montessori Childcare centre & Pre-School in September 2021, he has come on so much, gaining lots of independence during his seven months with the team at St Christopher’s Colourbox.
