Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Due to Covid-19, my daughter's day-to-day nursery closed for six weeks. They decided to only open for key workers' families and because both my husband and I work from home, we are not key workers. Our daughter had nowhere to go for around six weeks. We rang Paper Moon Day Nursery - Lenton and explained
our situation. It is challenging to be in full-time jobs and look after our daughter. The nursery staff were super kind and helpful. They took our daughter in and treated her very well. My little one is so happy to go to nursery daily, and sometimes when I pick her, she had so much fun that she does not want to go home. Thank you so much for everything.

Lovely staff and nursery, my child thoroughly enjoys coming to nursery to explore all the different ranges of activities they provide. Great communication skills between staff and parents and getting feedback on collection. My daughter is very happy at nursery and I would recommend this nursery to all.
Excellent management team always helping and giving advice when needed.

Great Nursery and lovely staff. Our son has been attending the nursery since 2017, and is now in preschool and has always been cared for brilliantly. He absolutely loves it there, they have so many activities going on, lots of stories, numeracy and literacy sessions. Our son is already able to count
to 10, recognise numbers and he knows some initial sounds. Cannot recommend the Nursery enough!

It’s not been very long since my daughter has been at nursery but had a lovely warm welcome from all the staff. It’s made it very easy for my daughter to settle in. I absolutely love the Tapestry app so I know what my daughter has done throughout the day. I am so pleased I choose this nursery, I would
highly recommend to family and friends.

Both of my children have gone to this nursery and I honestly love it. The staff are all so lovely and have supported me through so much. Both of my children have had amazing nursery experiences. They love everything about it and it has especially helped progress their speech and socialising. I recommended
this nursery to every single one of my friends.

Review from Joy M (Mother of Child) published on 2 February 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From the time I inquired about a place for my daughter, the staff seemed welcoming and friendly. It was in September during COVID-19 restrictions but I was able to visit the nursery safely after hours and see the setting. The nursery has a car park and is a good distance away from public transport.
I was anxious about leaving my daughter for the first time at 7 months but I was reassured that she would be fine and comforted if she needed. The nursery uses an online platform called Tapestry where they communicate and update parents on the children's daily activities. My daughter was exclusively breastfed and didn't take a bottle but settled in well and sometimes took a bottle from the nursery, otherwise, she was given plenty of food. She doesn't cry at drop off or pick up and is happy to go to any staff member there. The nursery encourages parents who speak another language to continue doing so with children. Staff always listen to parents and work together with them. Highly recommend!

This nursery goes above and beyond to support you in any way they possibly can and if they are unable to they will point you in the right direction and support you through as much as they can.
They engage with you and your child very well.
They have a good understanding and listen to your views.
My
little boy has come on so much with this nursery so much I pulled him out of starting mainstream school till a later date as he's coming on so beautifully there.
They're very nurtured and cared for in such a high standard, I know 100 per cent, my child is being taught well and cared for in high standards and taught such beautiful things.
I'm very grateful for all the staff and the part they all play in supporting us as a family unit, not just him going to school. They really show they care.
I'm deeply grateful and thank you for everything you have done for us.

My children have been going to this nursery for the past 6 years. This year especially, the nursery have adapted well to the covid 19 pandemic. They have been completely supportive of my child's learning and always encouraged learning by play and discovery. They have carried out Zoom calls so all the
children can see each other and have kept in regular contact with parents through Tapestry, and face to face handovers.
I would recommend this nursery to anyone to help aid their child's growth and development.

Review from Emma B (Mother of Child) published on 30 December 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I was very apprehensive about sending my daughter to nursery as I had been a stay at home parent for two years and we had formed a strong attachment. This coupled with the national Coronovirus lockdown at the beginning of the year, meant that my daughter was very wary of strangers and didn’t like being
apart from myself and her dad. Despite all of this, in the space of a mere two weeks in September 2020, she settled into Paper Moon with absolutely no issue. She now talks about the nursery and the staff *all* the time and is always excited in the mornings. The staff are all wonderful, friendly and accommodating; they’re more than happy to chat to you about any concerns you might have about your child and also keep you up to date with any achievements or milestones your child has reached. Her language and social skills are constantly improving due to the environment created in the nursery with a full range of activities available. Couldn’t recommend this nursery enough, to be honest!

My son started nursery in September 2020, we were amazed at the support he received. Within the first few weeks, the Management (nursery manager) advised on additional support for my son and what support is available. The staff are all welcoming and very friendly and take the time to discuss what my
son has done during the day. Staff are supportive of his additional needs. My son enjoys going to Paper Moon and as parents, we feel that he is excelling and developing in many aspects of his life. Very pleased with this nursery.

My Son has been attending this nursery for the last two months and I have to say I am very impressed. My son previously went to another nursery which I didn't feel was supporting my son enough. However, from day 1 the staff have been very welcoming and supportive, my son hasn't cried once going or leaving
the nursery and he is always very excited to go and comes out very happy too (and tired). They do a lot of different activities and I always hear new things they have done. The staff are always very enthusiastic and very positive whether it's early in the morning or in the evening. You can see the staff love their jobs and love seeing each child develop. The staff listen to you and take on board your concerns and make sure they focus on this for your child and always provide regular updates/photos regarding your child's progress through their app and face to face. I am really happy with this nursery and will be sending my daughter here too.

Paper Moon is a brilliant nursery! Since my son returned to nursery in July I can’t give enough praise to the manager and all the ladies at Paper Moon, returning to nursery after being off for over 3 months was a big adaptation for him. Every single morning he is welcomed with open arms by everyone
who opens the door for him to come in! The steps that have been put in place within the nursery during the pandemic is outstanding. The support that they give to parents and the children is the best and no matter what you know you can pick up the phone and give them a call regardless! Every single one of them should be proud of how hard they work every single day, I definitely made the right decision in picking the nursery that I did! Keep up the great work.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The day when my 9-month-old was supposed to start his nursery lockdown too started. After many if and buts, I decided to put my son back to nursery few weeks back. Throughout the lockdown time, the staff made sure that we received timely updates on guidelines, activities to be tried at home etc. Staff
at the nursery are very friendly and approachable. They make sure as a parent I get all the information in terms of observation, pictures etc. I really like the observations I can view on the app, those give us a relief and security that he is indeed enjoying his time at nursery. Even though my son screams when I drop him there but he enjoys being there and playing with friends.

The staff of the nursery are very helpful to my little children. They always take care of them when they wash, to go to the toilets and also help them eating and playing. In addition, my son's learning and understanding are much improved while they are at the nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been coming to this nursery for several months and I have been really happy with both my experience and, more importantly, hers. All of the staff are friendly and approachable, and always give me feedback at the end of the day which I really appreciate. I love receiving the updates on
the app where I can see what she’s up to during the day. It is clear that the staff are not only good at what they do, they enjoy it and they make sure each child feels important. I was slightly uneasy at first about sending my daughter back during COVID, but the team have put my mind at ease with their risk assessments and what has been put in place. My daughter really loves coming and speaks about the staff in high regard. Thank you, Paper Moon!

My son has been attending Paper Moon since he was 1 in the baby room, now in the preschool room he is still very happy and very much enjoys nursery life. The staff have always been from the start very supportive and always have shown a genuine interest in my son's development and care. Throughout the
lockdown the staff were in regular contact providing parents with useful information on activities to do at home, even organising zoom calls for the children to still see and speak to their friends. Changes have been made since the reopening of the nursery to ensure the safety of your child and visitors to the nursery. It is very reassuring to see these changes put into place as you know your child is in a safe and healthy environment. The staff are always friendly and always approachable with anything you wish to discuss. Overall an excellent nursery.

The ladies in the baby room are lovely, they welcomed my son with open arms. He settled within a week or two. My son loves the staff in his room and loves going to nursery. They are supportive in his learning and myself with checking on him.
I am satisfied that he's well stimulated there also.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.864)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.864) 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 40 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 40 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 4.864 for Paper Moon Day Nursery - Lenton is calculated as follows: ( (413 Excellents x 5) + (54 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 472 Ratings = 4.864
  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 40 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 40 number of registered child places is 8, which has been reached with 40 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.
