Review from Jade B (Mother of Child) published on 18 December 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I love sending my little boy to this nursery, the staff are all really pleasant and take a real interest in the children that are in their care. New Moon Nursery have addressed some issues with my little boy and have been amazing at reassuring me as a parent, referred us to the correct people and have really gone above and beyond. Nothing is too much trouble for the lovely ladies that work here and put there all into looking after the children.

This nursery is the best around, our little girl has come on so much with all the fun and learning that this nursery brings. The staff are amazing and it feels like it’s not just a job for the staff, it’s like they're all a little family with all the children. The bond between the staff and all the children is evident when you see how much your little ones adore them. Definitely the best about, defo recommend!

Overall Experience

All my three children have been to this nursery and from day one I have been more than happy to leave them in the care of these amazing staff. The day to day running of the nursery is outstanding. The staff care for the children like they are their own and nothing is too much to ask. I would recommend this nursery to anyone.

Review from Gemma R (Mother of Child) published on 12 December 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter absolutely loves coming to nursery. I moved her to New Moon earlier this year from a nursery where she constantly cried and never settled. New Moon has totally changed that, she settled instantly and no tears at all. She always comes home and says she has enjoyed her days at nursery and loves her friends and the staff. Cannot fault them at all! Amazing place.

Review from Megan Y (Mother of Child) published on 12 December 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has been attending New Moon Nursery since she was 5 months old and she is now 2. I could not be happier that I picked New Moon Nursery for her to attend. The nursery is so warming and welcoming and always feels like a safe and comfortable place to be in. The staff are attentive and always communicate perfectly what type of day she’s had and what activities she has been involved in. My daughter always comes home telling me what she’s done that day, who with and sings songs that she’s learnt whilst being there. She has recently been diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes and I could not have felt more supported by the nursery. They have undergone everything necessary and have quickly learnt and adapted to my daughter's new needs, so much so that my daughter invested her trust in them after only two days regarding administrating her insulin. A fantastic nursery in which I would recommend to everybody!

Review from Heather C (Mother of Child) published on 12 December 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
This nursery is amazing and its all down to the amazing women who work there. My little boy absolutely loves this place.

I gave birth to my second child in September and my 3yr old was very protective and several weeks that followed were the only days he didn't want to go. He would kick and scream. The ladies were extremely understanding and helpful. It was very difficult for me to leave him when he was so upset but all the ladies helped not only my son but me.

Overall Experience

After searching long and hard for the perfect Nursery I came across New Moon. My daughter is so happy and comfortable around all of the staff and it really makes me feel relaxed when I have to leave her. She gets excited about going and sometimes doesn’t want to come home. This is such a fantastic place and I can’t recommend them enough.

New Moon Nursery are trustworthy and nurturing! My son had been with new moon 2 years from being a baby and I have never had any issues regarding his care. The things he has learnt are amazing and each of his key workers has been equally as caring and loving.

Overall Experience
My little one has been attending New Moon for a month and she loves it, the staff are amazing especially their cook who has gone the extra mile to cater for my little one's allergies to make sure she has a well-balanced, safe meal.

The staff all go the extra mile to make the nursery feel like home from home, with all the personal touches and I know my little one is happy and engaged and well looked after. I would recommend New Moon to anyone.

Review from Megan K (Mother of Child) published on 18 January 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I can't thank the ladies enough at New Moon Nursery! My son has been going to nursery here since easter 2016. We decided to send him to a private nursery as he has communication problems and the staff to child ratio is smaller than a school nursery. They have helped him develop so much and have been very supportive in helping him progress. This time last year, he wouldn't communicate at all and was very shy and withdrawn. Now he is confident, affectionate and is making progress with his communication. He loves all the girls at New Moon and is always eager to get inside and reluctant to leave when I pick him up. Massive thanks to all the girls and special thanks to the owner and his key worker for all their help getting him on track. This nursery is definitely one in a million and I'm so glad he has another year here still.

Overall Experience

My daughter absolutely loves New Moon! She can't wait to tell me what she's done every day and has built little friendships with some other children already. She adores all of the ladies that look after her as do we and we have to drag her away at home time because she'd happily stay longer with all of her friends. Thank you for being awesome! xx

New Moon is a first class Nursery. The staff are all incredible and our little boy loves every minute of his time there. He always learns something new and has plenty of opportunities to play inside and out. He is particularly fond of his key worker and he looks forward to seeing her every morning. Highly recommend this nursery.

Overall Experience

My son goes to this nursery and the staff are very welcoming. I feel good about leaving him with his teachers. I know he is in safe hands. They are exuberant and make you feel at ease.

My son loves it there. Wont be changing nurseries any time soon. If you are looking for a place that can accommodate your child during his early years this might be the best place.

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.
