My son has been here since he was 10 months old, he started in the baby room and is now in pre-school, starting school in September. He has loved every moment being there. He has gained lots of confidence playing with other children in a safe and free play environment. My son is currently finishing
his autism assessment, staff are very supportive and understanding. Couldn't be a better nursery.

Paper Moon in Lenton is a small and cozy nursery. All of the staff are friendly and caring and because of the size and the location you get to know everyone and they all get to know your child. Leaving my first child there from the age of 1 was daunting but I could soon see that he was safe and well
looked after. He is always doing lots of fun things, creating, learning and spending plenty of time getting fresh air in the wonderful outdoor play area.
I really like the style of learning that the nursery uses, there is lots of praise and encouragement of good behavior and a lot of the techniques have worked well at home too. We get a book completed daily with all the relevant care information along with a little write up on what they have been up to and we also get electronic updates and photo's on the parent app. Staff go above and beyond to accommodate children's individual needs and are approachable and quick to work with parents to address any issues or concerns.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter started at Paper Moon in September 2019 when I returned to work after being on maternity leave for a year. Choosing the right nursery was extremely important to me and I visited numerous nurseries before making my decision. The staff at Paper Moon have, from the offset, been thorough in
everything they do and nothing to help my daughter has ever been too much to ask of them. Working in a primary school myself and also having many friends who work in childcare settings, I feel Paper Moon provides an individually tailored nursery and pre-school experience in which children are cared for in a safe and familiar environment. Whilst attending the nursery my daughter has been given every opportunity and has been supported by staff members to develop her self-confidence, social awareness and learning.
I am so confident in this nursery that I have been more than happy to recommend them to good friends of mine who’s children also now attend here.

The staff at Papermoon nursery are extremely friendly, caring and very supportive. My child always shares what she’s been doing at nursery and it’s always nice to hear how well the staff build in the Early Learning Goals through fun-filled hands-on experiences for the children. My child has picked up
a lot in the short time she has been there.

My son has just started Paper Moon, and although he wobbles in the morning he loves the nursery. I am a teacher and wouldn't choose just anywhere. The staff at Paper Moon have been so caring, thoughtful and attentive to my son. He knows them by name after just 2 weeks (he's only 2) and I completely
trust the staff to care for him at the highest level.
I cannot thank them enough and would absolutely recommend them to anyone. Well done and keep up the good work!

My now 10-month-old has been in the care of this nursery since June and she absolutely loves her time there each week. I was nervous leaving her as she was a premature baby and is still catching up on her development but all of the staff understood my concerns and put my mind at ease. As soon as we
walk through the door, my little one starts beaming as she loves playing with the ladies in the baby unit. The care provided by the staff is excellent, as are the facilities and food. We even get a little diary completed each session so I know exactly what's happened through each day.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Grandson has been at this nursery since he turned 1 and is now 3 1/2, he goes all year round. He loves it. All of the staff know each child by name and all staff are approachable.
There is always plenty of activities for them and you can turn up any time of the day and the children are always
laughing and playing.


The staff work at the child's ability whilst encouraging them. My Grandson has his own little needs e.g struggles with speaking and all the staff have worked with him and have welcomed the speech therapist into the nursery to assist as well.


He loves the play area which is full of exciting toys, climbing frames, slides and sandpits and I wouldn't want him to be anywhere else.

Having experienced seeing this nursery on more than a few occasions, I can honestly say that I am so happy that my Grandson attends here 3 days a week.
He is obviously happy and content here.
The staff always have a smile, a genuine caring attitude, and a professional approach.
I am impressed by
the cleanliness and structured but fun play activities.
I would wholeheartedly recommend this nursery to friends and family. There is a warm, family atmosphere here and happy enthusiastic children.

Paper Moon Day Nursery has been a fantastic place for me and my children and the entire staff are extremely helpful in delivering beyond expectations and has continually exceeded our expectations. The staff are not only polite but genuinely professional in their day to day activities of the nursery
and the place is well kept. The kitchen staff are no exception, and neither are the cleaners, who all contributed to the well being of the children. I am most grateful to the entire management and staff for the professional way in which they administer their duties.

Fantastic nursery, friendly and attentive staff. Food is a high standard. Outdoor play happens come rain or shine. Independence is actively encouraged and I have noticed this at home also.

A very good nursery. The staff take excellent care of the kids and are very responsive to parents' requests.
Good mix of activities (educational and fun) for the kids.
While there could be a little more on reading and writing and math activities for preschool, overall, an excellent bunch of staff.
Would
highly recommend to any parent.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This is the third nursery that I have sent my baby to and also the best one that has exceeded most of my expectations. The nursery is very clean and tidy with a creative setting of toys and play areas and has many stimulating activities for babies. My baby has loved the nursery since the first day and
settled in quickly with the help of the staff. She joined many fun activities, including baking cakes, making arts, drawing and painting, playing in the garden, going to the park, and joining the Valentine celebration, Chinese New Year celebration, World Book Day, Red Nose Day, etc.
All the staff is very good with children, gentle and caring. My baby's carers are considerate and paid attention to small things, like putting on more layers for her for colder days, changing her to cleaner clothes before going home, and helping her with tooth brushing. She has shown amazing development since attending the nursery. As a mother, I feel safe and sound to have my baby in the best hands.

My son has been at Paper Moon for the last year. In this time his development has been excellent. Compared to friend's children who are slightly older and in other forms of care, I think my son has excelled as a result of being in the care of dedicated staff who provide a broad range of stimulating
activities, some of which I couldn't provide at home. My son also benefits from mixing with children of different ages and cultures whilst enjoying having a regular peer group.


Resources available are great with a large range of toys and equipment available indoors and out. The nursery is bright and cheerful and staff are always willing to offer advice. Couldn't really ask for more!

My daughter has been at Paper Moon Nursery in Lenton since she was 11 months old and we have always been extremely happy with the love and care she has been given. The staff are kind, considerate and provide a creative and stimulating environment. My daughter has been nurtured and given exciting opportunities
and activities at each stage of her development. The fact that the nursery is fairly small means that it feels like a family and she has strong relationships with staff and her peers. I know that when we finally have to say goodbye and start school we will all be heartbroken but I also know she will have a strong foundation based on everything she has learned during her time here.

My experience with this nursery has been fantastic, my children have bloomed since attending and they are growing into strong independent freethinking children. My children are always excited to attend as they are always doing lots of fun activities e.g Yoga and French. The staff are very approachable
and are warm, loving, supportive and nurturing. They provide the best care emotionally and physically. The nursery and every single staff member are amazing. I can not thank them enough. Paper Moon really is my children's safe happy place and I don't want them to leave!

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.
