I love Papermoon for our little one, I feel kept up to date with everything she does and all the nursery news. The team have always been lovely over the many months she has been there in all of the rooms she has been in. I love that they do a varied programme and menu and my little one has really come
on with her food choices, speaking and surprises me with things she has learnt.

My daughter has attended papermoon forest town since march 2024, she thoroughly enjoys her days at nursery. The staff are attentive and nurturing and take their time to get to know each child and parent. The updates and pictures we get are reassuring. And the activities that are done with the children
are appropriate and fun for them. The food is fantastic as well.

I have noticed a substantial amount of growth in our son since starting at Paper Moon and not just in height.
We obviously try and instill good behaviour at home, but these traits are things that he has also learned from being at nursery and more importantly are acted upon. We can tell and show him
how to behave, but at nursery he's in an environment where it's put into practice.
His kindness, his playfulness, his cheekiness, his education, his experiences, his willingness to try new foods and his character all have grown so much in the time he's been going. He loves the staff there and can't wait to go in. More than all of this, we feel he's safe and being looked after by the amazing staff there. We love Paper Moon.

Our daughter has been coming here for almost 3 years now and she absolutely loves it. She runs through the door to greet the friendly staff - often for a big cuddle.


Everyone is always so friendly, helpful and polite. They make a fuss of our daughter and make us feel like she's special.


We intend

on placing our 2nd daughter here without question - even if it's a little out of our way. I wouldn't go anywhere else.


Thank you to all the ladies who work so hard and who have helped to shape our daughter into the wonderful human being she is today.

I have only had a positive experience of Paper Moon. My daughter has been at the nursery for around 2 and a half years and her confidence has come on in leaps and bounds, especially the last 8 months! The staff have put in a lot of effort into encouraging her with communication and socialising and she
is doing amazingly thanks to the girls in Tigers who are friendly and approachable. My daughter loves going to nursery and enjoys all the activities all year round that the nursery put on for the children to participate in. The management have also been great and understanding. Thankyou Paper Moon!

My little boy started in September 2024 we had rocky start but after a few weeks he was settled. The staff were amazingly calm and patient with him and have now created a very special bond. When he first started I had some concerns developmentally that we all worked one and now he's a totally different
boy. The staff keep me well informed of his day through the app. Staff are super friendly and it feels like one big family.

Staffs are very friendly with children's parents. And our child like her class teachers .she always tells good about them. Specially four members of staff from Tiger. And she is enjoying all activities indoor and outdoor. I get most of the update from staffs. Only thing is I see most of the children
including my daughter come home with very bad dry nose. Just need to look at them when it happens.

I honestly cannot say enough about this nursery. The staff, the management and everything in between.
My little girl instantly made a bond with a member of staff in the baby room; she lights up every time she sees her. You cannot put a price on knowing you're leaving your baby in safe hands with experienced
staff members who enjoy your baby as much as you do.
The regular updates and pictures to put your mind at rest are just invaluable and it honestly feels like they care so much.
I absolutely love that you can drop your little one off in the room and you don't have to leave them crying at the door. You get to see exactly what is going on, it is just so lovely.
Also, I absolutely loved that when my little girl banged her head, the incident form was sent through for immediate acknowledgement. This was then followed by regular updates on her to, once again, put your mind at rest and be reassured that your little one is in safe hands.
The whole team are just wonderful.

My little one started in April 2023 and had a rocky start but after a few weeks he was settled. The staff were calm and patient with him and created an amazing bond.
We had the same when we moved up to the next room, bit rocky but the staff were able to help him settle and now he wakes up most mornings
asking if it's nursery day. The staff keep me well informed of his day through the app (only thing I would like is more pictures of his day, even if not linked to an observation, like some other nurseries do). Overall it's a fantastic nursery and I would definitely recommend having it on your shortlist.

Our daughter has recently started here and we're highly impressed with the staff and their professionalism when it comes to their job. Our daughters key worker is absolutely lovely and trustworthy and the manager is also approachable and friendly to talk to, despite how busy she must be. Always happy
to help when a problem or confusion has arised on our part which is nice because we get quite anxious talking to new people. We're looking forward to seeing how much our daughter develops whilst she is here because she always seems in a good mood when she leaves nursery.

The staff at Paper Moon Day Nursery's Forest Town go above and beyond to meet expectations for the progression of the children they care for. My child attends this nursery and whenever I'm struggling with something they are straight on board to help me. My child is such a bubbly, happy confident little
one since attending this nursery.

My little girl has been attending this nursery for 5 months. She started at 18 months old. I'm really pleased with how she has settled well here. The staff have all been really supportive. They all genuinely care. The nursery uses an app to give us regular updates on my little one's day including photos.
They have indoor and outdoor activities. Sometimes outside entertainment and speakers come in to provide dance activities and other things. I can see a huge improvement in my little girl's confidence since starting there. Would definitely recommend it!

This nursery is fantastic. I feel so at ease that my little boy is safe, well looked after, well fed and he really is in the best care whilst I'm not there. I'm always reassured that he's happy, and having fun. It fills me with happiness every time I walk through the doors.
I love that they take him
outside at every opportunity they get - weather permitting.
The staff are so friendly, I never walk past anyone without them saying hello to myself or my little boy.
My little boy has been there for 8 months, and he really is thriving.

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.936) out of 10 for Paper Moon Day Nursery - Forest Town 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 47 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 47 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 4.936 for Paper Moon Day Nursery - Forest Town is calculated as follows: ( (527 Excellents x 5) + (36 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 563 Ratings = 4.936
  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 - Forest Town is based on 47 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 108 number of registered child places is 21.6, which has been reached with 47 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.
