Garden House

Garden House

Our large, self-contained nursery rooms are bright and welcoming, and specifically designed for your child's comfort, security and enjoyment.

The Garden House (rising 2's - rising 3's)

Garden House Newmarket

We firmly believe our high staff/child ratio is a key ingredient of good nursery care. Within the Garden House we provide a warm, loving and social environment to continue your child's journey into learning. At this age your child is refining those large and small motor skills, emotional and social development and using meaningful language. We provide a wide variety of practical activities and early Montessori materials to explore - aiding concentration and independence. This emerging independence can certainly be seen as these little ones prepare their own snacks and wash their dishes!

We feel that at this stage an appropriate motto would be - "Help me to do it myself!"

The Garden House children love the amazing opportunities for outdoor discovery in our one-acre meadow and woodland classroom (Colourbox 'Country Club'). This rich learning environment includes a beach area, farm area, castle roundhouse, 'Betty' the caravan and a unique pyramid bird-hide - enabling children to be nurtured by nature. Whatever the weather, children of all ages spend time growing plants, discovering and identifying wild-life, exploring, building dens, and eating lunch 'al fresco'.

We embrace the Early Years Foundation Stage framework 2017.

"We will never be able to express how much Colourbox Montessori, and especially our son's teacher, have meant to us all as a family. Thanks to your constant efforts Aidan is well prepared for school and for future learning"

Jo Ferreira

"Our daughter chooses to go to Colourbox over having a day off - giving us reassurance about the decision we made over 3 years ago when she first started. Her primary school has a huge act to follow! We will be very sad to move on but we do so knowing that Gabriella has the background to do well. Thank you Colourbox!"

Rebecca Wilson

"Having started in The Nest right through to The Ocean room we are genuinely sad to be at the end of Archie's Colourbox journey. We knew nothing about Montessori at first, but we couldn't be more thrilled with the amazing start that it has given him."
