My two children started attending nursery at the age of 6 and 7 months, full time since they were 1. I cannot thank all the nursery staff enough for their hard work and dedication. They show so much love and care for the children that we were really confident from the first day to leave our children
under their supervision. They follow very closely each child´s development, and they share this information with parents at regular meetings to make sure we can work together in our children´s development. Both kids have always been really happy at nursery and have made really good bonds with the ladies and peers. Christmas and summer events are very well organised. You can tell that nursery staff make a real effort to make those days special for children and parents. Graduation this year was a really special moment, very emotional and it showed the special bonds he´s made with all staff.


All staff are very well trained and the nursery manager makes sure that this training is up to date.

Both my daughters have attended Paper Moon for the last year and I can’t speak highly enough of the manager and her team.
All the staff have a genuine love of working with children and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming.
Our children had previously attended an Ofsted rated outstanding nursery
in London and I can honestly say I’d choose Paper Moon over them any day! Rooms are lovely and bright with constant access to the fantastic outdoor space, there is always plenty for the children to do and we are kept up to date via the online Tapestry journal. My eldest has loved her French lessons particularly and both children have thrived in such a safe and supportive learning environment. Not to mention the extra touches like Christmas parties and graduation disco which was held on a Saturday morning meaning more parents could attend - staff go above and beyond for the children.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Paper Moon to anyone.

Our little girl absolutely loves going to Paper Moon 3 days a week and has come on leaps and bounds since starting there. She loves taking part in all the sensory and craft activities, as well as playing outside on all the play equipment! Thanks for everything you do for her!

Papermoon at Gamston is a fantastic nursery.


My son has attended since he was 11 months old and the staff have always made me feel confident and happy to leave him in their care. The nursery provides such a loving and homely atmosphere and environment in which my boy is thriving.


They provide

a range of activities on a daily basis which would be near impossible to replicate at home! The free-flow allowed to the older toddlers into the secure and well-equipped garden is great. They even have their own nursery pet bunny to enrich their experience and learning.


My boy loves attending nursery, and he's made such strong bonds with his key workers since starting, it's lovely to see which leaves no doubt in my mind that Papermoon are a brilliant bunch of ladies.

I just cannot speak highly enough about this nursery and I always recommend it. I currently have 3 children at the nursery and they all absolutely love it! EVERY single member of staff is so friendly and approachable - they clearly have excellent relationships with all the children, they treat them
as individuals and take a genuine interest in all that they do.
The nursery has been very accommodating to our dietary requirements fully supporting our healthy eating and on numerous occasions have gone out of their way to make sure our needs were met, and again ALL the staff are supportive of this.
The staff are exceptional and so is the manager - she is so friendly and welcoming, nothing is ever too much trouble and she is always around to speak to and fully involved with the care of all the children.
My eldest daughter has absolutely loved the yoga classes that take place on a Monday and I'm excited for my son and my youngest daughter to experience this too.
Thank you to all the ladies for everything.

Lovely happy place, my little boy had lots of fun while he was at Paper Moon. They do Yoga classes and French. The ladies are lovely and will do the utmost to settle your child. My little boy was a fussy eater but was encouraged to eat different things. Made lots of friends.

All three of my children have attended Papermoon nursery in Gamston since 2010 and my youngest is still there now. We moved to Radcliffe in 2011 and this is far the best nursery in the area. My boys have been extremely happy, the staff are all friendly the manager is really approachable, kind and flexible
and they all care about all the children. They get out with the children lots and do lots of different activities. They do yoga every week and have done French too. I would recommend anyone to attend this nursery. I will be extremely sad to leave when my youngest starts school next September but eternally gratefully for the care they have received whilst at Paper Moon.

Such a warm and welcoming environment to step into each day for both myself and my son. As my son started at only 7 months old and I had many worries with him being so young. However, instantly my worries were taken away with such friendly, caring and approachable staff in the setting. From a wide range
of activities, to a healthy variety of meals my son is thriving in their care each day he attends the setting. As I have recommended the nursery to all my friends and family, I continue to recommend the nursery to everyone who is looking for a warm, welcoming and such a consistent setting for their child.

Our daughter attended Paper Moon from 9 months old until she left to go to school at age 4. The staff at Paper Moon are exceptional they treat every child as an individual and show them love, care and nurture. The manager is fantastic and very approachable. She is always there to answer any query or
concern and makes you feel reassured that your child is in safe hands. My daughter thrived in their care and I would recommend the nursery to anyone.

I already have recommended this nursery to friends. The staff are knowledgeable, patient and friendly with plenty of experience between them. The setting is also bright, colourful and there's a lovely garden and outside area. The food is freshly cooked on-site and my daughter rarely leaves a mouthful!
I am extremely satisfied with this nursery and am happy to recommend.

Review from Robert E (Father of Child) published on 29 March 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The overall atmosphere is very friendly and one of the most noticeable aspects when we first started was how welcoming, friendly and personable the staff were (and still are). Even staff who are not in my child's room seem to know his name and take the time to speak to him and say hello to us at drop-offs
and pick-ups. (This is a big difference to other nurseries we have used in the past). The staff were also very good at settling him in during the first few weeks. An area for improvement could perhaps be the communication: we were not informed that our child's key worker had changed. Also, the nursery is clean but could perhaps do with a little refurbishment/re-decoration in places. But overall, we are very happy that our child is at Paper Moon Gamston.

My 3 kids have attended Paper Moon Day Nursery, 2 from the age of 6 months. I have found the staff very helpful and friendly and they look after the kids very well. Attending Paper Moon has been good for the kids as well. The staff help them develop their skills and social relations. The premises are
clean and they get a balanced meal. I would highly recommend Paper Moon Day Nursery.

I have been familiar with Paper Moon Day Nursery for many years and knew I would always choose this caring nurturing environment for my little one.
My child was born 14 weeks prematurely and the support from the setting throughout maternity and my little boy starting at Paper Moon was immense. The
nursery staff, along side the parents, organised the summer fete to support the neonatal charity specifically where my son was born. My son is now almost 2 years old and with the staff's influence, he's developing into a happy, cheeky little chappy who loves his time at nursery. The way that the staff ensure they nurture each child individually ensures that he is progressing well in every area of learning. His favourite activities at nursery are always the messier ones! which although leads to lots of washing!! I know he is having fun indoors and out! The management team work closely together and listen to parents and most importantly the children.

Fantastic nursery. Staff are all so lovely - lots have been there for 10 + years which is a good sign that everyone loves it there. Loving/caring environment. Lots of outdoor space, children are outside all the time. Plenty of food choice, diaries provided with summary of day which gives you an overview
of what happens. Lisa (manager) and the deputy manager are both so nice and friendly - really approachable.

My eldest attended Paper Moon in Gamston and he had such a fantastic experience and gained many essential skills and made many friends. The staff were always friendly and helpful and I never had one cause for complaint or worry in the years he went. When my youngest was born with a rare brain disorder
I felt confident placing him in the nursery because I knew the staff there and I knew they would take very good care of him. They go above and beyond looking after him and work hard to aid his development and allow him to join him with all activities. He is very happy there and that's down to the amazing staff. I would definitely recommend this nursery to anyone looking to place their child.

All the staff at Paper Moon are lovely. They are all warm and welcoming. When my son first started, he didn't like it as it was unknown territory for him but after a few days the staff made him feel at home now he doesn't want to come home. They are always detailed on what he's eaten and done throughout
the day. I can't thank them enough for all they have done for my son. Highly recommended!

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.
