I am very happy with the high standards of care and learning provided by paper moon. The staff are absolutely amazing-so kind, caring, and supportive. Since starting, my daughter has come on incredibly well; her learning and development have increased so much, and it's been wonderful to see her confidence
grow. Most importantly, she truly loves going to nursery, which says everything. I'm so grateful for the care and dedication the team shows every day and providing a healthy and enriching environment for my daughter to grow and learn.

The nursery was wonderful. My daughter really enjoyed attending, and we noticed that she learned many facts which she tried to replicate at home. She often spoke positively about the staff, conveying a sense of trust and affection towards the nursery. Throughout our experience, the staff were very helpful

My experience at Paper Moon has been absolutely wonderful. The staff are so warm and nurturing, and it's clear they genuinely love what they do. I've seen such a positive change in my child's confidence and social skills since they started. The environment is always clean, bright, and full of engaging
activities. I couldn't be happier with the care they provide.

I have always felt welcomed and valued at the nursery. The staff always have time to listen to what I tell them about my grandon. They got to know him very quickly and provide him with what they know he likes. I feel they love him & want the best for him. I feel happy leaving him in their care and know
he enjoys nursery.

My son started in the baby room and has moved up to the toddler room, he settled in really quickly and loves going to nursery. He gets to do lots of fun activities there and always seems so happy when I pick him up.
The staff at Paper Moon are all lovely and because it's a small nursery it feels like
they get to know all of the children and genuinely care. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the nursery!

My daughter gets excited when I wake her and say she is going to nursery, she is positively giddy when we get there. Paper Moon Day Nursery - Lenton has been a dream nursery for our family. From our very first conversation with the manager, the staff have consistently been courteous, and professional,
a delight to interact with. When there are matters like an illness reported going around, they patiently and thoroughly answer any and all of my questions. Their professionalism in all respects, and the heartfelt care they show my daughter and the other children, give me full confidence and peace of mind each time I drop her off. When we are at home, it is incredible to see the new things she has learned. Her emotional vocabulary and spoken vocabulary are developing at an amazing pace, she often surprises us with something new after a day at nursery. Finally, Paper Moon has fostered her sense of confidence and exploration. It's wonderful to see her develop as a whole person and Paper Moon is a huge part of that.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter was in the toddler's group and has now moved to the preschooler's group. She's received so much support that she looks forward to going to the nursery daily. Her developmental stages had been clearly noted with milestones celebrated along her journey.
At the end of her day, while having
her reflection, she always has a fun thing to say about her time at the nursery. The teachers are very receptive and happy to help. I recommend the nursery to others as a place to attend and FYI this is my second daughter attending Paper Moon Nursery Lenton.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.878)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.878) out of 10 for Paper Moon Day Nursery - Lenton 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 41 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 41 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 4.878 for Paper Moon Day Nursery - Lenton is calculated as follows: ( (428 Excellents x 5) + (53 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 484 Ratings = 4.878
  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 - Lenton is based on 41 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 40 number of registered child places is 8, which has been reached with 41 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.
