Could not recommend this nursery more, when I first took my child there, I felt welcomed and the nursery was clean and tidy and there was a great set up for the age groups. All the staff are so friendly and helpful.

Paper Moon have been amazing from the first day my eldest daughter started, in 2013, until my youngest son finished in 2019. The staff have always been on hand for any questions, always made my children feel comfortable and happy in a warm, friendly and wonderful learning environment.

Paper Moon Day Nursery is a wonderful nursery. Our little girl has been there for almost a year now and absolutely loves her time there. The care she gets is great and she has built up a lovely bond with her primary carer. The staff there are all very nice and welcoming and you can see how happy the
kids are as soon as you walk in. The progress our daughter has made is fantastic, every time she comes home from nursery we can tell that she's had a good time and more often than not, comes out with a new word or two that she's learnt. Her confidence and identity have come on really well. If you're looking for a well-run nursery with brilliant staff where your child will develop, I would definitely recommend Paper Moon.

Paper Moon Day Nursery (Forest Town) is a newly purpose-built nursery run by a team of friendly, helpful and experienced staff.
My little boy started in April and has settled in well. He has made lots of new friends and experienced new things.
His brother also attended this nursery and enjoyed
his time there and the nursery were very supportive of his additional needs.
I would recommend Paper Moon Day Nursery to all my friends.

Overall I am very happy with Paper Moon Day Nursery. My son enjoys going and he is really coming along with his learning and loves playing with his little friends. Staff are always friendly and try to be very accommodating. Like most mums, I hate leaving my child but knowing he is enjoying himself in
a safe environment with lovely staff is always comforting.

I highly recommend this nursery. My 2 year old loves coming to see his friends and enjoys being here!
He is happy and very clever. The staff are always smiling and happy to see my child. I love the tapestry website to follow his progress and read about him meeting his targets. I especially love receiving
and reading his little reports! I’m happy knowing he’s happy and settled.
My older son also attended this nursery and it’s lovely to see some faces who were there back then too!
Management are also great! I can’t thank everyone enough.

My daughter has been attending the nursery for just over eight months now. She has come on leaps and bounds. The team are amazing with her, push her to strive and support where needed. The activities planned are interactive and my daughter loves spending time at nursery. Wouldn't want to take her anywhere

My daughter started when she was five months old. From the moment I took her to her induction, I had full confidence in the staff who were looking after her.
The nursery has such a nice atmosphere and the staff are amazing!

My son has attended this nursery since the age of one and is now due to leave at the age of nearly five. I feel he has been nurtured and looked after so well over the past four years. He’s always loved attending nursery and excited to see both friends and staff. Although he is now at a point where he
will be ready for school, I feel this nursery has really helped shape him to be the lovely boy he is today, and although he is excited to start “big school,” I know he is going to miss his friends and the staff dearly. He will pop in to see them from time to time now his little brother is now starting the same nursery.

Very good care of all the children lots of activities and ways to encourage each child to sing, drawer and take part in games etc.
Also, the nursery ensures a very good development for their age for example ability to count up to 10 and recognise most colours etc.

Since joining Paper Moon in April 2018, our daughter has gone from strength to strength. She is often keen to tell us about the new experiences she has had at nursery and is particularly engaged by the singing, dancing and mini-kicks activities. Though she gravitates more towards the company of adults,
the nursery staff are always happy to give her attention and extra support when required.
On collection, we are always well informed on the vents of our daughter's day. There is a good variety of food prepared for the children, including healthy options. If any improvements could be made, it would be that extra support is given to console and comfort children when they are tearful or sad at nursery drop off.

My son has come such a long way since starting at Paper Moon.
I never feel uncomfortable to raise any concerns or ask any questions with the staff.
I find they look after and help educate my son and he loves going to school and gets very close with some of the teachers.
I don't believe I would be
able to send him anywhere else where he would get the love, care and enjoyment that he does out of Paper Moon.

Since my son has started at Paper Moon in Forest Town he has changed so much he has started saying single words, walking and even singing. Paper Moon is a brilliant nursery, friendly and very welcoming. The food is excellent and the care for my child cannot be faulted. My son loves coming to nursery.
He always shows happiness when coming out of nursery. Staff are excellent, always friendly and always make my sons pick up time personal to him. I would 100% recommend this nursery to anyone.

This is a fantastic nursery my little boy loves attending every day.
There are always educational activities on offer while also meeting the children’s interests. The staff are very warm and welcoming and easy to approach.
My son has developed so many skills and made lots of lovely friends.
The
nursery is very accommodating for me as a shift worker they understand and support me sending my son different days and times. They will also accommodate at short notice when family crises occur.
Would definitely recommend this nursery.

I've been using Paper Moon for the past 18 months for my twins and I have been highly impressed and totally satisfied in all areas of the nursery. As well as being flexible and accommodating when extra sessions are needed, for me, the underlying factor which sets the nursery aside is that I totally
believe that all the skilled team really care about my children and want my children to be the best they can. The Paper Moon team do this by:
•   Developing confidence through exploratory play.
•   Understanding your children’s achievements in key milestones and sharing this through Tapestry - the interactive online learning journal.
•   Wanting to develop relationships and bonds with your children.
•   Showing empathy at all times, so you really feel your children are as important to them as they are to you.
I have total trust in this nursery that they are doing everything they can in helping my children grow and develop into awesome little people and I would 100% recommend this nursery.

I can not recommend or praise Paper Moon enough for the care and support they have given to my little boy over the past 2 years. He has had hearing difficulties, the nursery and staff team were amazing at ensuring that necessary paperwork was in place and staff knew how best to support him in both group
sessions and 1:1 basis. They have been involved in hearing about recommendations from professionals such as Senior Leadership and Team and his current key worker, has been proactive in introducing them within his sessions.
He has developed in confidence, especially over the past few months and has formed positive relationships with all the staff who greet us each time he is there. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff team or manager and they are always flexible when I need extra sessions or half day sessions due to work commitments.
I will always recommend this nursery to others. Staff team and the environment is perfect to support my little boy as he prepares for mainstream nursery school.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.948)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.948) out of 10 for Paper Moon Day Nursery - Forest Town is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 37 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 37 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.948 for Paper Moon Day Nursery - Forest Town is calculated as follows: ( (420 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 443 Ratings = 4.948

  • b) 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 37 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 37 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
