January 21, 2021 at 12:00 amAbsolutely wonderful in all regards. My son has been going for 2 years now and within the first month, we noticed amazing changes. He was more willing to try new foods, he became more adventurous and wanting to explore and learn more. The staff has always been amazing and especially during COVID I think they have done a wonderful job of keeping our kids safe and helping bring some normalcy to their lives.

January 22, 2021 at 12:00 amFantastic preschool with amazing staff. Enthusiastic, warm, welcoming and efficient staff and facilities.
We love that you take the children outside exploring jumping in puddles and feeding the imagination. Thank you for continuing this amazing care through a pandemic!

May 10, 2021 at 12:00 amAmazing pre school. My son has really blossomed since settling in. He struggled with the change initially and all staff were wonderful at supporting him and ourselves and really helped him to settle. His confidence 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 staff are extremely caring and helpful and have made his time at pre-school so wonderful and have prepared him for his reception year so well. Can’t thank you all enough and would absolutely recommend.

May 24, 2021 at 12:00 amAmazing pre-school. My elder daughter attended previously, and now my youngest daughter is attending. She loves it, and I wouldn’t send her anywhere else. The staff are amazing – always putting the children’s welfare first. Education is outstanding – lots of different activities for the children to chose from to do.

Cannot speak highly enough about them.

May 26, 2021 at 12:00 amA wonderful nursery and pre-school. My daughter has attended since she was 18 months and will soon start school. Staff are amazing, always smiling and really care about each child. The rooms are lovely with lots of interesting activities, and the children are really encouraged to be independent in all that they do. Would recommend to any prospective parents.

May 26, 2021 at 12:00 amWell, what can I say? My two sons have been with Colourbox Montessori Nursery & 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 staff are just fantastic, friendly, supportive and just plain amazing. For 5 years you have given my sons the best start in life to education and play 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 recommend 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 amazing start to my sons’ lives. Thank you again.

May 26, 2021 at 12:00 amSince starting at Colourbox Montessori Nursery & Pre-School – St Christopher’s in June 2020 my daughter has come on leaps and bounds. She 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 staff have all been wonderful throughout the Covid pandemic in keeping the children safe yet not letting it disrupt their daily activities. Highly recommended.

May 28, 2021 at 12:00 amBoth my daughters had a wonderful time with Colourbox Montessori Nursery & Pre-School – St Christopher’s and learnt so much. Despite lockdown last year my youngest continued to learn via their interactive Zoom sessions and was ready for primary school in September. I cannot recommend the team and environment highly enough.

May 28, 2021 at 12:00 amBefore moving to the Newmarket site, my son attended Colourbox Montessori Nursery & Pre-School – St Christopher’s and loved it. The staff are all wonderfully friendly and nurturing with beautiful facilities and equipment. When they had to close in the first lockdown they arranged brilliant Zoom class sessions for the children with activities, stories and tasks, which my son really enjoyed. So much thought and care goes in to everything they do at Colourbox, can’t recommend them enough. Thank you!

May 28, 2021 at 12:00 amMy daughter loves going to this nursery. Every 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 play by herself but the staff were amazing and helped her confidence grow by providing plenty of opportunities for her to build friendships. We love 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.

May 28, 2021 at 12:00 amMy daughter has attended Colourbox for over a year now and absolutely loves being there. Every morning she asks if she can go to nursery and play with the children. She always comes back with a smile. The staff are very friendly and have got lots of patience.

May 28, 2021 at 12:00 amAll of the staff here have been absolutely fantastic with my very shy son. He has really come out of his shell since attending. He feels comfortable and well looked after and he has made great progress in all areas in the 2 months that he has been attending.

June 17, 2021 at 12:00 amMy daughter loves coming to nursery and has really excelled in her development, she has become more independent and has made some lovely friends. She speaks fondly of the other children and the staff.
I have recently recommended the nursery to a friend, who has now enrolled her son for September.

April 25, 2022 at 12:00 amOur son started at Colourbox Montessori Nursery & 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. They are all very friendly, greeting us daily with a smile. My son always goes in happy 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. Happy parent. Thank you all, especially the room leader who always does an outstanding job, lovely handovers and my son is always thrilled to see! Nursery assistants and practitioners are very special people.
