We visited a few nurseries in the area and New Moon was a clear favourite. I have little ones in different age rooms and they both enjoy it. Makes going back to work so much easier knowing they are happy and well looked after.
Thank you so much for taking the time to review our nursery. We really appreciate your lovely comments.
Fantastic Nursery! My little boy loves going and comes home very happy every day. All the staff are super friendly, caring and nothing is too much to ask. Huge relief that he is being cared for and having lots of fun to the highest standard. Thank you everyone at New Moon Nursery.
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. We really appreciate the time you have taken to write this review.
But we truly believe we couldn’t have picked a better nursery to send our little boy to and soon to be little girl also.
Our little boy's reaction when seeing the staff and going into nursery speaks a thousand words and the comments he makes and stories he tells when he comes home shows just how much he loves it there which is the best feeling in the world.
The staff are so incredibly friendly, supportive and clearly love the children they look after and I wouldn’t want to send my children anywhere else.
Covid has seen us all in uncertainty but the professionalism and support the staff have given throughout lockdown especially to key workers has been second to none and they have pushed on through to do as much as they can whilst doing it as safely as they can!
The food is fantastic, freshly prepared each day on-site and a good variety too!
We really appreciate the time you have taken to review our nursery. The comments you have made are really lovely. Thank you so much for sharing your experience.
My daughter absolutely loves going to New Moon Nursery. She looks forward to going every week and has made lots of friends. The whole team put so much effort into everything they do and she comes home a very happy little girl every day.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We really appreciate the time you have taken to share your experience of our nursery.
My child goes to this nursery, he has been going for about a year and he absolutely loves it which makes me love it. He likes one particular member of staff and is always happy in the morning to get changed and get in the car to see her. In the beginning, there were some tears but they vanished once he got used to it. When he comes out again, he is a very happy boy. No parent could ask for more for their child.
We really appreciate the time you have taken to review our nursery. Thank you so much for your lovely comments.
New Moon is an amazing nursery you can trust, they go over and above in everything they do providing a homely environment, all the love your child needs and endless amounts of fun, entertainment with learning and development in mind at all times.

I've got custody of my grandson who has a developmental delay. He started nursery 6 weeks ago and wouldn't play or interact, but with the hard work from the staff he is showing small improvements. They are always friendly and I am so grateful for all their help, it has been 1st class.
Thank you for taking the time to review our nursery. Thank you for your lovely comments and sharing your experience.
What a lovely nursery, the staff are so friendly and welcoming. My little boys are happy to walk into nursery and they always leave with smiles on their faces. I really like the little extra things they do such as a Mother’s Day celebration or an open day for grandparents. The feedback you receive is great and it’s always lovely to know what the children are busy with.

All the staff are lovely!

My son has been going since September 2020, it's an amazing place, the staff are lovely, it's a perfect setting. My son loves going, he has come on with his talking and development since he has been going here. I would recommend this nursery to everyone who's got children.

Meals are varied and choice is great.
She's always greeted with a smile every morning and I feel she is genuinely cared about by the staff as are all the children.
The staff are always friendly and helpful, and we are kept up to date with her development and learning.
We are so glad we made the decision to send her to New Moon and would recommend it to all parents.
Thank you for taking the time to review our nursery. We really appreciate your wonderful comments, it is so lovely to read about your experience.
My son started attending New Moon Nursery in August 2020. He absolutely loves it here. The staff have been amazing and have worked tirelessly to ensure the children are safe during the pandemic. My son loves the staff who look after him and has bonded with them so well. I love receiving the updates and photos of him enjoying his day at nursery. It’s extremely reassuring and makes me so happy to see him having lots of fun.
Such lovely comments, thank you for taking the time to review us. We really appreciate your wonderful feedback.
The food is always suitable and smells delicious, I cannot recommend this nursery enough.
Thank you so much for taking the time to review our nursery. Such lovely comments. We really appreciate that you have shared your experience.
The staff are wonderful, they are constantly interacting with the children to develop new skills and learn.
Food is healthy, warm and homemade.
The app they use is great for seeing updates of how your child's day has been.
I was very nervous of my daughter starting as she was almost 8 months old and despite being upset and taking a while to settle, the staff were very patient and understanding.
It is lovely to read your experience of our nursery. Thank you for your wonderful comments and taking the time to share it with us.
My little girl has only been going to this nursery for about 4 months and she's come on loads! Her confidence, appetite and speech have improved massively. She was so shy and anxious at first but now she walks in herself and walks out with a big smile on her face, she's even made new friends. I'd 100 per cent recommend this nursery to others, they're very welcoming and really nice, they always answer every question I have. They send you pictures and have an app so you can see how your child is developing which I think is great!
Thank you for your wonderful feedback. It is so lovely to read about your experience of our nursery.
My little boy who is 3 years old started this nursery 2 weeks ago now and he loves it, all the staff are very friendly and great with the children. I will 100% get my other little boy in when we want to get him in nursery.
Thank you for your lovely comments, we really appreciate the time you have taken to review our nursery.
My son attended this setting when he was younger, and now my daughter is currently attending. Both children have thrived since being with New Moon Nursery. It is like a second family to them, the care is second to none, communication is outstanding, and the children always come home happy with lots of stories to tell about their day. I couldn't recommend this nursery enough.
Thank you for your lovely feedback, Andrew! It is really fantastic to hear how happy you are with the care that we provide.
Since returning from lockdown my little girl has settled straight back into the nursery, she loves all the different activities that they have for them to play with. Also, the warm and friendly environment they provide makes her feel safe and able to enjoy her day. Staff are so friendly and welcoming and will help you with any problem you come across. I love the app that they also use as it allows me to see all the different things she's been up to while there and how she is progressing, as well as how she's done with her meals. New Moon Nursery is definitely the nursery to choose in Castleford.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Vicky! Such amazing feedback.

Meet the Team (2)
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.
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.
