Overall Experience
Having had my child in a previous nursery we were blown away by how much better they are.
My son loves attending and all the staff are great with him.
We get daily updates via the app giving us a piece of mind and some great memories via the selfie weeks.

My wife and I highly recommend this facility to anyone we meet looking for a nursery.

Review from Aimi B (Mother of Child) published on 28 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

A lovely nursery, with a warm family feel and some brilliant staff. From the moment my child started at New Moon I have felt comfortable, confident and assured that my child is safe, happy and well looked after. She has developed and learnt so much during her time at New Moon and she loves attending. The communication is great; there are frequent updates throughout the day and regular “observations” regarding their development.

We have loved watching your little one grow in confidence over there time with us, thank you

Review from Jenna O (Mother of Child) published on 27 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

New Moon is a wonderful nursery with a fantastic team of helpful individuals. My daughter has attended since she was a year old. Allowing someone else to take care of your child can be upsetting, especially for first-time parents, but the team at New Moon have always filled me with confidence when leaving my child, knowing she is in great hands. They are caring and very child-focused. The meals are great and playtime in the garden is enhanced with all of the extra activities they implement. I don't think I have ever come across a member of the team without a smile or a kind word. I would highly recommend to New Moon.

We are so happy with New Moon. Our son started there at 9 months old and has developed so beautifully under their care. Every worker has been so kind and caring and they give a detailed breakdown of the experience our child is having when he goes there. Would highly recommend this nursery - if you can get in!

Review from R G (Mother of Child) published on 14 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

As a first-time Mum, making the huge decision to go back to work I could not feel happier in my decision to send my son to New Moon. I visited several nurseries but as soon as I saw New Moon I felt confident that he would receive the best care and attention as well as play, learn and develop. I’ve had only positive interactions with staff and it’s so lovely to hear of the connection my son has built with his key worker. It’s such a lovely place and I am grateful New Moon will be a part of my son’s childhood.

Review from Lauren S (Mother of Child) published on 28 February 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
This is such a wonderful nursery. Staff welcome my daughter warmly in the morning and provide thorough information at handover. All staff know each child's name, even if they're not interacting with them all day. It makes us feel like my daughter is being truly well cared for. Staff are exceptionally professional and knowledgeable - always looking out for the best for the children.

We always have clear communication from management and it's easy to ask them questions too. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this nursery to family and friends.

My son moved from a different nursery to New Moon around October and all I can say is I wish he had started here as a baby. I could not fault the nursery, every single member of staff is lovely and care so much for the children. All are very professional and very approachable. The support he has gotten to help him transition into New Moon has be 5-star. Thanks for all your help.

We couldn’t ask for more from the brilliant team at New Moon Nursery. They literally couldn’t do more, they love our little boy like their own. They work with them on how to develop and also how to grow as a little human. They do so much with them and always keep us up to date on how he’s moving on.

I moved my son to New Moon from another local nursery. My son has SENCO needs and New Moon have been amazing at supporting both his and our needs as his parents. He has come on leaps and bounds in his time there. He loves spending his time there and drags me in each morning.

Absolutely fabulous nursery! My son has been attending since 2021, he absolutely loves going to school and he has developed so much in the last 2 years. My other son will also be starting in the next few months and I can’t wait to see how much he develops over the years. All the staff are so caring and just want the best for every child that attends.

Review from Zoe N (Mother of Child) published on 16 February 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has attended New Moon for 3 years and he absolutely loves the staff, food and learning facilities and has developed more than we could have wished, from a very shy little boy to now being very confident in play and around his peers and teachers. The staff have endless imagination when it comes to ideas for learning in so many different ways. They also have a great outside space for play, external sports coaching and a lovely veg patch for the children to learn about growing their own food. We couldn't imagine sending our son anywhere else. We have so much trust in the staff to care for him and provide everything that he needs on an emotional level.

Reply from Louise Swales, Manager at New Moon Nursery, Castleford

We thrive in providing the best care that we can and cover all the curriculum. Since we have developed our allotment area, children have taken a great interest in living things and caring for them. I will make sure I pass your kind words on to our staff team.

My son has been attending this nursery since he was 9 months old. They gave me every bit of confidence that he would be fine and 3 years later, he absolutely loves it. Extra curriculum activities are available, staff are lovely and very helpful, and the nursery itself is like a home from home. I wouldn’t want my child to go anywhere else. Thank you for everything that you guys do, it’s amazing!

Review from M C (Grandmother of Child) published on 26 April 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

After trying two other nurseries, we have now found one where our granddaughter is thriving. Since looking around, we knew we had found a nursery where the children are central. In a very short space of time, She confidently walks into nursery every day, happy to be there. It puts us at ease knowing that she’s not crying every day we leave her. The staff are so caring and consider the needs of the children all the time. The nursery has a comfortable, homely feel. They’ve been amazing.

Louise Swales Job Title: Nursery Manager Joined: 2010
Louise Swales

We provide high-quality daycare for children aged 0-5 years. Our ethos is to provide a homely environment, so your child feels at home from the start of their journey with us.

I have worked at New Moon since it opened in 2010. I became the Nursery Manager in 2014, where I developed my knowledge in child care and became qualified to level 5.

I have a passion for working with children and adore being the Manager at New Moon, which allows me to see children grow and thrive within our environment, learning and developing to the best of their individual ability.

Our children are our future, and they require a calm, loving and nurturing environment with opportunities to learn and as many varied experiences that we can provide for them in order to secure their foundations in their Early Years.

Alexis Wood Job Title: Deputy Manager Joined: 2014
Alexis Wood

Working with children has always been my life goal since leaving school in 1998. I went straight on to get my level 3 qualification and have always worked with children ever since. In 2014 I moved from the Midlands to West Yorkshire and found my forever Nursery... New Moon. I started out as a Nursery Nurse and worked my way up to being Deputy Manager. This is the position I adore the most it has allowed me to get to know all the children from all the rooms rather than being based in just one room. This position has also allowed me to be creative and help implement a vision of how we want our setting to be and the ethos we have for each and every child that we care for.
