Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

Review from Lisa C (Mother of Child) published on 15 March 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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!

Lovey nursery, my daughter struggled at first because she was new but the staff were so lovely and made her feel very welcome in the toddler room. I’ve even recommended my friend to get her son to sign up for April.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Fantastic nursery! Very approachable, always met with a smile and staff are very cheerful.
My daughter has settled in very well, she is always excited to attend nursery as she has made lots of friends. It feels that the staff have a special connection with the children, as my daughter is always talking
about them! Her communication and confidence skills have really grown as there is a lot of exposure to creativity and learning. I can keep a track of this on the Tapestry app (recording videos and photos of her development).
Management and staff are always very assertive and take a hands-on approach to learning as they are genuinely interested in my daughter's development. I feel well assured that she is safe and being looked after without any doubts in my mind.
Parking is very convenient and the nursery has a fingerprint scanner for entry which is good for access and added security.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter attended Paper Moon (Faraday Road) for November and December 2018 between the ages of 11-13 months old and she settled in after her first two days, and ever since was generally a very happy chicken most days I collected her. Even though it’s relatively small, there is a lot of stimuli for
children to investigate and play with. With the assistance of staff, she even managed to make a 2019 calendar, Christmas tree decorations, Christmas card for Mum and Dad, a picture of what looks like a melted snowman . . .
All staff are welcoming, professional, pleasant, caring and contented to change nappies as often as required to keep on top of nappy rash, but a special thanks to my daughter’s primary carer and to the manager who runs the place well.
We moved to the other side of Nottingham in December, which is a real shame in one sense as Paper Moon is too far away now.

In the two months since my child has started at Paper Moon, I have been amazed at the progress that my child has achieved in all areas of their development.


All of the staff are approachable and extremely caring.


I could not be happier with the nursery and the overall standard of care that my

child receives at Paper Moon Day Nursery.

Excellent day nursery. My son has really grown in confidence in a short period of time and he is very happy to go. They encourage him to be independent and the staff are very nurturing and clearly in tune with the needs of the children. The days are filled with lots of activities and there is always
a friendly, comprehensive feedback.

My son has been going to this nursery for over 2 years now. This is a relatively small nursery and I think the care is good. The staff are welcoming and I am satisfied with the learning my child has. They also provide online updates for the activities, which is helpful. The staff takes great care of
the child when he is upset. My son enjoys his time at the nursery, which itself a positive review.

A great manager who is keen to improve child experiences and eating choices.
Was really helpful with our child's vegan meals and snacks.
All the staff are friendly and welcoming.
Especially helpful during potty training and during a child illness.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have always been pleased with the care my child has received at Paper Moon, however, under new management, the nursery has made significant further improvements. Every day there are now purposeful activities set up for children to explore, and when I have been in to collect my child, there is a sense
of calm and that children are happy and engaged in learning. The whole nursery has been freshened up since the new manager started, and it is now an even more stimulating and inviting environment. I am delighted with the caregivers who look after and educate my daughter. They have made a significant effort to get to know her personally and when we speak to them, it is clear that they have a plan for her learning and that they value her achievements. My daughter adores her grown-ups. It is clear that the fresh input of the new manager has encouraged a major step forward. We will be sending our second child with no hesitation and we give the team the highest recommendation.

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.852) 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 37 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 36 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 4.852 for Paper Moon Day Nursery - Lenton is calculated as follows: ( (384 Excellents x 5) + (45 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 439 Ratings = 4.852
  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 36 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 36 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.
