Love that I see thorough cleans of each room, love the team, especially in babies and tweenies rooms who are warm anf engaging and my child seems to trust. I was impressed with external organisations' view of the nursery especially regarding the food provisions and arranging these talks makes a big
impact. Very happy with seeing the excitement in my child's eyes when I say "Shall we go to nursery today?". Very emotional that we will be leaving but I would highly recommend the setting and the team.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Absolutely incredible nursery! Our son has attended since April 2024 and just loves it. His development has flourished and he is so well supported by all of the wonderful staff. Seeing how well he has come on developmentally since starting gives us that reassurance that we chose the perfect setting.
All of the staff are so lovely and made the transition from being with only family to nursery so smooth for our son (and us as parents too!) We would (and regularly do!) recommend paper moon to anyone looking for a childcare setting. We will definitely be sad when the day comes for our little one to leave and start school.

Absolutely fantastic environment; wonderful supportive staff (to both children and parents). My child was at a different establishment prior to coming here and the difference in his happiness, wellbeing and development is astounding. The care shown by all staff members is always above and beyond. Regular
updates throughout the day, easy to use app system...oh and the menu is incredible!!

The staff know the children extremely well. The nursery is always clean and tidy (except the usual toys!) and always has enriching activities for the children to partake in. The children are fed well with balanced, nutritional meals and are clearly very well looked after. There is also an amazing outdoor
space.

I am so happy we chose Paper Moon for our baby. She started when she was 1 and has been there for 5 months. We have noticed how she has progressed since starting in her physical, social, emotional learning.


I have absolutely no worries when I drop her off until I come to pick her up as the staff

are so friendly, knowledgeable and are clearly happy to see her come in, which is a nice feeling. The communication from staff to parents is very good through the use of the app.


Staff are attentive and have got a really good relationship with my baby, despite having a room full of other babies with different needs. They have really got to know my baby's personality and clearly adapt their practice to suit her needs and personality. Because of this, my baby loves coming to nursery and sometimes wants to keep playing at pick up time.

My son has been with Papermoon at Doddington since he was 7 months old and is now about to turn 4. He has had excellent care there. In July '25 they put on a wonderful graduation ceremony for all the pre-school kids and really showed how they knew the children with personalised speeches about there
strengths and interests. They have really helped my little one grow into a lovely little boy.

Our child has been at Paper Moon from baby room, and is now starting school in September. We can't thank them enough for everything they have done for him, he's a nervous child but they have done everything possible to make handover at nursery as stress free as possible for him. He always comes home
from nursery with a smile, and tell us what an amazing day he's had. We can't thank the staff enough for being such a positive part of our child's first few years, and he will miss you all when he starts at school.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Cannot speak highly enough of all the staff who support my little rascal on a daily basis. My son has a designated Key Worker who has watched him grow so much over the last year. They give really insightful and comprehensive updates almost daily on new skills developed and suggested actions we can do
at home to keep the learning going.


The food is absolutely immense here too (honestly they cook stuff here for the kiddos that's borderline award-winning restaurant level) and they've been really helpful in running groups for parents to support nutrition at home.


They're great on keeping parents/guardians updated on events, local news and staff developments too which is awesome.


Finally, the administration is really fluent and the staff involved with the financial side of things are really proactive and person centred too tailoring the needs of the family to the financial needs of the nursery.


Cannot rate this nursery high enough. If there's room, get your little sprogs there now!

Paper Moon Nursery has been a supportive and caring environment for my child, who faces certain developmental challenges. The staff's dedication to understanding and accommodating my child's needs has been truly remarkable.
One of the things I appreciate most is the open communication with the team.
They regularly provide updates on my child's progress and work closely with me to implement strategies that support my child's development. Their commitment to creating an inclusive and supportive community is evident in everything they do.
I highly recommend Paper Moon Nursery to any parent seeking a childcare setting that goes above and beyond to support children with diverse needs. It's a place where every child is valued, and their individual strengths and challenges are embraced with compassion and understanding.

My child has been at Paper Moon for six months now and the development seen in my child is unbelievable. My child's social and emotional development as well as motor skills has quickly exceeded my expectations and it's a testament to the environment and activities that everyone in the babies area has
created. I feel very fortunate to have found and placed my child there. The moment you step into Paper Moon it has a really good feeling about it, from clean to chaotic you know your child is going to enjoy themselves, sometimes my child doesn't want to leave. Friendly staff and the nicest children, I get greeted by everyone.

My twins have attended Papermoon Jasmin Road since January 2022. The girls have multiple additional needs, and the nursery has supported and helped at every point of their disability journey to special school next year. They go above and beyond in everything they do for the children in their care. They
offer a range of enrichment opportunities and have excellent communication with parents. We have been so lucky to have the girls at this nursery!
Excellent staff!

We have been bringing our daughters for four years. Firstly with the eldest and now my youngest attends. I honestly wouldn't want to send them anywhere else. The manager is so lovely and nothing is a problem, she is always approachable and tries her best to accommodate where she can. She will have one
- one meetings if and when needed about development of your child. The girls looking after the children are great and really get to know them. Both my girls have been well and truly looked after. I love receiving updates through the day on what they have been up to. Nothing is ever too much and always follow any requests. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a nursery.

Absolutely brilliant nursery. Staff are incredibly friendly, helpful and caring towards all the children there. I previously had a bad experience with a nursery and moving him to Paper Moon was the best decision I could have made. The growth and confidence I've seen from my son is phenomenal. All the
staff in the babies room; I can't rate them enough. They're so gentle and caring; my son never comes home hungry or grumpy. 10/10 nursery.

I can't put into words how amazing the staff at Paper Moon Doddington are. The manager and the team are caring, kind and nurturing. Papermoon has given us a huge amount of support and are extremely good with methods and techniques that can be transferred into the home. They are patient with my children
and cater to their individual needs. I have had all 3 children at this nursery - doing a 40-mile round trip per day because I wouldn't want to have my children go anywhere else. The staff are a credit to Papermoon and the manager is so accommodating and has helped with extra childcare on numerous occasions. My children have thrived here.

Excellent nursery setting, staff are amazing, couldn't fault them. My little boy loves it here, we had to change from a childminder as he wasn't getting on well there and since coming here he is so happy! They have recently introduced a facial recognition system on entry so I know my child is safe.
Can't fault the nursery practitioners and staff members are always helpful and friendly, would definitely recommend this setting. Thanks everyone.

She has loved every second of nursery and her development is at the centre of everything they do. Staff are just wonderful and our daughter is so happy when she walks through the

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.957)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.957) out of 10 for Paper Moon Day Nursery - Doddington Park is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 35 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 35 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.957 for Paper Moon Day Nursery - Doddington Park is calculated as follows: ( (403 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 420 Ratings = 4.957
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Paper Moon Day Nursery - Doddington Park is based on 35 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 50 number of registered child places is 10, which has been reached with 35 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
