Staff
A team with over 15 years of childcare experience
Colourbox Nursery is a nurturing early years setting that prioritises high-quality childcare and education for young children. Operating from a warm, home-like environment, the day nursery caters to children from six months to five years old, fostering individual growth within a diverse community.
The dedicated team, some with over 15 years of experience, implements the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework to create stimulating and challenging activities tailored to each child's interests. They believe in providing first-hand experiences through play, ensuring a safe, inviting, and enriching atmosphere for learning and development.
The day nursery values strong partnerships with parents, acknowledging their crucial role as primary educators in their child's early years. Staff maintain open communication, providing regular updates on children's progress through an electronic journal called ‘Baby's Days’ and detailed verbal feedback at the end of each session.
This collaborative approach aims to support children in developing a strong sense of self, confidence, and respect for others, in line with promoting 'British Values'.
Our ethos
At Colourbox Nursery, we strive to create a warm, welcoming and nurturing environment where every child feels physically and emotionally safe. Colourbox Nursery works towards supporting children so they can develop a strong and positive sense of themselves. We give children the opportunity to feel confident, speak and have their own opinions valued. We promote 'British Values' which lays emphasis on tolerance and a democratic society where freedom of speech lives comfortably alongside respect for all. Children at Colourbox Nursery are thought and shown fun ways we promote British Values and this is impeded in our activities.

Areas to develop
Inclusion & environment
The manager considers how to use any additional funding to promote children's well-being and learning. For example, staff attend training and create story sacks, which helps to develop children's concentration and builds on their communication and language skills. All children, including those who receive additional funding, make good progress from their starting points.
Children have lots of opportunities to access fresh air and thrive in the inspiring garden. For example, older children enjoy exploring what has been added to the imaginative 'fairy garden'. Babies and toddlers confidently move around using different types of bikes and trikes.
I would like to express my appreciation for this nursery. The admin staff, Deborah, has been very responsive and recommended the best solution for us. The nursery manager, Alicia, is always cheerful and clearly passionate about education. My daughter’s teachers, Vanessa and Magen, are very encouraging and always keep me updated when I pick her up. My daughter truly enjoys her time at the nursery.
