Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We are very happy with everything at the nursery and would certainly recommend it.
Due to Covid, we didn't get a chance to view many nurseries when making our choice, but we felt a connection with Paper Moon Day Nursery due to the size and familiarity of the place and the team. The staff here are
incredibly warm and the fact that many of them have been there for many years assured us that it was a place that looked after staff and the children.


We have been very happy to see our daughter's development since she started at the nursery. She has developed in every respect and the team have been great at supporting her to improve in certain areas whilst also focusing on her strengths. This is in no small part down to the team and their genuine desire to get to know each child at an individual level.


The main thing for us is the fact that our daughter can't wait to get into the nursery and jumps into the team's arms in the morning. We know she is well looked after, happy and has a good time every day.

My daughter absolutely loves coming to nursery, from the moment I drop her off to when I come and collect her she always has a smile on her face. All the staff are so caring and friendly, I can see why she loves it so much. She has come on leaps and bounds since her first visit and I have all the team
to thank for it.

All of the staff are very friendly, helpful and patient. They will update you from time to time. I cannot thank them enough for being so patient and understanding. My 15-month-old daughter was born during the pandemic, it was not easy for her to be with other people but the staff and manager did an
amazing job!

This isn’t a nursery! They are a family. They have done so much for my family and gone above and beyond. When my daughter had a stye in her eye and I couldn’t get out of work they put a cold compress on her eye every hour for ten minutes and sat with her! They didn’t have to do this or even have the
time. When my son was born and had to stay in hospital they took her last minute for extra days. T


They make custom and personalised cards every birthday! They potty trained her within 5 days! The staff are my personal therapists and never make you feel rushed and drop off collection times. I will be so sad when my children leave even to the point I would have another child so can stay for another 4 years!

I can’t recommend Paper Moon Day Nursery enough! My little boy loves going - he no longer bothers saying bye and just wanders in. He has developed so much in the time he has been there - the staff are wonderful and keep me up to date with everything that is going on. They will go above and beyond to
help me if I have an issue - he has been having issues with food and they have no problems writing down everything he eats and how it’s made!


I cannot recommend them enough!

My son has been going to Paper Moon Day Nursery - Gamston since he was thirteen months and he has been very happy, as have we. The staff are all brilliant from babies to preschool. He talks fondly about all the teachers and his friends and what he does at school. We've had a few bumps in the road but
nothing the staff have not resolved very quickly. The manager is excellent and always ensures we are happy and satisfied with any bumps.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have had two children attend Paper Moon Day Nursery - Gamston. One has now left and the other is 3 in Pre School. I cannot rate the nursery highly enough. The kids love it and the staff, which to me is the most important thing. The manager sets a real tone from the top which clearly filters throughout
the nursery: building strong personable relationships with the children. I have absolute peace of mind when the children are there which allows me to concentrate on what is causing me to not be able to be with them. Wonderful place.

My daughter loves every minute of her time here. She goes in happy and comes out happy. There are lots of opportunities for the children to play and explore indoors and out. The outdoor space is fabulous and my daughter comes home filthy every day - just how it should be. Above all, I feel confident
when I leave her there that she is safe and happy and that I can go to work and not worry about her. The manager is super efficient and helpful. Great staff all around.

This is an amazing nursery, the staff are lovely and they have all the facilities your child would need. They have there own little garden where they have planted things with the kids. I would recommend this nursery to anyone, all of my children have been here and I wouldn’t take them anywhere else.

An amazing nursery that my now five year old daughter used to attend and my two year old son still does. Very caring, attentive staff to both children and parents. My son adores it and runs in the door saying hello to everyone. Great feedback at the end of the day giving me a full picture of my son's
day, reassuring me that he is happy, healthy and thriving at Paper Moon Day Nursery - Gamston. Thank you to all the staff.

Our three year old and one year old have attended the nursery from eight months. Both children love nursery days and get so excited when we pull up to drop them off and they are always full of it when we pick them up. The staff are fantastic, really personable and down to earth, its very apparent from
the regular reports that we get that they know our children very well, including their likes and dislikes and managing their varying mood swings! They make the time to give the children one to one attention to encourage and grow their individual interests.We have been particularly impressed with how the staff helped our eldest master potty training as well as adapting their meal plans to allow for my daughters allergies.

My daughter has been going since she was nine months old, she loves it and even on her days off she asks to go. She has progressed massively with her development and has made lots of friends. She’s very attached to the staff and has close bonds with them. The facilities are great and she always has
lots of fun there! Brilliant nursery.

Excellent nursery. Staff are amazing, friendly and very supportive. They are excellent at making a nervous and fussy child feel comfortable and happy to be left by parents. They always meet the child's needs even if its putting extra work on them. They even went the extra mile when my child wouldn't
eat the dinners, they would make something they knew he would eat. They always keep you informed on what your child has been doing that day.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son started here after the first lockdown in September. Having struggled to settle in a different nursery we chose to go to Paper Moon Day Nursery - Gamston following a recommendation. We are so pleased we moved him here! He settled very quickly and now absolutely loves going to nursery. He talks
about his nursery friends and the staff that look after him all the time and is disappointed when it’s not a nursery day! The staff are brilliant and really get to know the children well. They show outstanding care towards the children and keep you updated with any news. He is always so happy when we drop him off and skips into nursery without a second thought. The nursery is managed really well and they have continued to look after the children amazingly well throughout the pandemic. We would not hesitate to recommend Paper Moon Day Nursery - Gamston to anyone as we feel confident that our son is well looked after.

The staff at Gamston Paper Moon have been absolutely brilliant especially during the pandemic. My daughter has been going since she was 13 months old and loves going. She always talks about the staff and her friends at nursery. We have found the staff to always be supportive, welcoming and accommodating.
Can’t recommend them highly enough.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our two children have both attended Paper Moon Nursery from the age of just under 1 until starting school and both loved it. It is a fabulous nursery with great indoor space including creative areas for imaginative play, craft, stories, singing and yoga, and a fantastic outdoor area with various different
adventure areas and there is rarely a day that they don't go outside to play. Most importantly it has wonderful staff who give so much care and attention and really gets to know the children and their little personalities. They have been so supportive during various stages of our children's development (eg potty training) and spot-on when it comes to recognising their individual strengths and needs. They have been flexible to our varying work patterns and always welcoming and professional. We have been very happy with this nursery and would highly recommend it.

Fabulous nursery. This is by far the best nursery I have had the pleasure of sending one of my children too and both have been to many over the years. My son went to another nursery at the same time on a different day. He went to Paper Moon from being 9-months-old and only recently stopped going (age
2) sadly because I no longer work in the area. The communication between all staff I knew of and myself was excellent, My son's needs were always met and he had very clearly built positive relationships with several staff members. He was always handed over with good communication and they always seemed happy to be there with him. Definitely worth paying the extra cost compared to other nurseries he has had experience of.

My child has been at Paper Moon for over two years now. The staff have always been incredibly helpful, professional and approachable. I have always felt completely comfortable leaving my child with them and I know that they are providing a nurturing learning environment for them. They have always been
flexible in providing additional nursery days when needed and have been instrumental in helping me find a comfortable part-time working routine.
They have handled the Covid-19 crisis amazingly well and have always kept me informed of the latest developments and risk assessments. I feel it is a safe environment for my child to be in and I know my child has an enjoyable time whilst there.
I would be happy to recommend them to local parents.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.939)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.939) out of 10 for Paper Moon Day Nursery - Gamston is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 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 4.939 for Paper Moon Day Nursery - Gamston is calculated as follows: ( (292 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 310 Ratings = 4.939
  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 - Gamston is based on 26 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 70 number of registered child places is 14, which has been reached with 26 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.
