Information about the School

The Colourwheel is a Montessori Nursery, situated in the village of Black Notley, backing on to fields and countryside. We are also lucky to have a very large outdoor area attached to the nursery and therefore spend much time outside. We currently look after 50 children each day, with a beautiful purpose built, new baby room in our grounds.

All appointments are subject to safer recruitment requirements to ensure the safeguarding of children and young people. All positions will involve appropriate checks and clearances.
