Our daughter has been attending Newmoon Nursery for nearly two years, and we couldn't be happier with our experience. The staff are amazing-welcoming, warm, and genuinely personable with our daughter. She has made incredible progress during her time there, especially with skills like colours and
numbers.
The nursery goes above and beyond with the extra detail they put into themed weeks and special events. It makes every day exciting and engaging, and our daughter always comes home chatting about what she learned.
Most importantly, she feels content, safe, and happy every day she attends. She truly loves going to nursery, and as parents, that means everything to us.
We couldn't recommend Newmoon Nursery more.

My little girl loves to attend New Moon, all staff have made an effort to get to know her. Her key workers in all rooms have been fantastic, she has built great bonds with them they are supportive of all elements of learning and work with parents to ensure they focus on what you wish them to
developmental. New Moon is a home from home environment whereby children feel at home and a sense of belonging, I am more than happy with the care my child receives.

My little boy moved to New Moon in January and the staff have been wonderful helping him to settle in, making small but meaningful adjustments to help him transition and in a very short time he has made strong connections with his staff. I am confident that my little boy is progressing well as we
are informed at regular intervals of his progress. The activities they provide are wide raging and educational. We are delighted that would could get him a place here and how quickly he has settled in.

As a very anxious first time mum picking my son's nursery was very hard, but new moon made it easy my son has been part of the nursery for just over a year and he loves every day, he has developed so much and the staff are absolutely amazing always on hand to support us as parents and well as our
son they have many events throughout the year that we can get involved in. We honestly just love new moon and would recommend them to anyone
10 March 2026
My child has been at this nursery for 3 years now and they are incredible. They've helped us so much as a family as well as helping our child develop crucial skills as he grows. Every step of the way, they've helped him become the cheeky, clever, wonderful little boy that he is. His relationships
with all the staff are just beautiful. He knows he can go to any of them with any issue, he talks about them at home and has such lovely stories every day that he comes home from nursery. He's potentially on the spectrum (ASD/ADHD) and nursery have helped us with referrals and generally helping him cope when he's struggling. They've been an amazing support network for us all through the time my son has been there and we couldn't have picked a better nursery. It's going to be a very emotional day when he leaves to go to school in September. There's so much love for this place, the people in it and everything they do for the kids. They truly do go above and beyond.

The staff at new moon nursery are amazing! My son's confidence has come on so much since attending the nursery and being involved in all the activities the staff create for the children! Couldn't recommend enough
06 March 2026
New Moon has been a fantastic nursery for my daughter since she started in 2023. She has grown in so many ways and absolutely loves the staff that she spends the day with. They have helped massively with toilet training and easing her into her new room. I'm so grateful for the updates I receive on
the app and at handover time, plus getting information about special occasions in advance is wonderful for an organised parent. I couldn't think of anyone I would rather leave my daughter with! Thank you!
05 March 2026
My little girl absolutely loves the nursery and the staff there. She has come on leaps and bounds with her speech. And her potty training over the last few months. Her key worker has made such a difference to her whole experience at nursery
03 March 2026
I'd highly recommend New Moon to any parent. The staff are brilliant, my son left New Moon last year and now my daughter comes here. My children love the staff and my youngest child who goes here, she's coming on leaps and bounds because of the staff here at New Moon. They receive nutritious home
cooked meals, they set up lovely activities and my children genuinely love to come here. The staff truly do care about the children and I can't recommend New Moon enough.

I can't recommend New Moon enough! My eldest has SEND needs and they helped put together a My Support Plan, and then an application for a EHCP which is now in place at school. My youngest has been attending for the last two years and he is thriving! His speech has come on leaps and bounds and he
really enjoys his days at nursery. We are so lucky to have New Moon as our nursery. Keep doing what you are doing!

Our little boy joined New Moon soon after turning one, he's now three and still attending.
What we love about New Moon;
The homely feeling; Each morning he's greeted with smiles, and he always talks fondly of all the staff & children across the rooms/floors. They come together at mealtimes to
socialise and eat varied nutritious home-cooked meals.
The communication; daily handovers with key worker, meals etc recorded on an app plus lots of lovely photos uploaded. Regular reviews/assessments, and parent meetings.
A wide variety of activities & resources, lots of time outside, fostering a love of nature, sessions with visitors e.g. football, music. The children are supported and encouraged to explore their individual interests further.
Events for families throughout the year e.g. Christmas fair, Mother's Day tea, and stay & plays.
Overall, a lovely setting for little ones to spend their days growing and learning. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend to other parents.

I could not recommend New moon enough, I was so anxious about sending not one but two of my children to a nursery after spending every day with me since the day they were born, but new moon have been fantastic. The smiles on my babies faces when they see the ladies on a morning melts my heart. I
know both my children have developed a brilliant relationship with their key workers and I can see that they've both made progress with development and key skills since starting in January. The whole staffing team are lovely and always take the time to give me a thorough handover at the end of the day. I 10000% made the right decision in choosing New moon.
04 April 2025
Amazing nursery with lovely kind staff who go above and beyond for the children in their care. My child is always happy to go and had made strong attachments to several members of staff. It's clear from her interactions with staff that they all put in the effort, despite the room they're based in,
to get to know all the children.
04 April 2025
I cannot thank the staff at New Moon Nursery enough for looking after my little like they do, she absolutely loves going to nursery and it is so beautiful to see the bonds she has made with the nursery staff.
As a nursery I feel New Moon go above and beyond to provide exceptional care to the
children in their care .
Knowing my little girl is so settled and content just makes my working day so much easier, thank you for all you do.

I can't recommend New Moon enough! We were quite anxious before our daughter started as she found meeting new people difficult. But after a few weeks, she is completely different and has found her confidence! Thank you so much New Moon!
27 March 2025
As a teacher myself, I have extremely high expectations of what I expect from a nursery, both from an educational and pastoral perspective. After visiting many different settings, choosing New Moon was an easy choice! The New Moon team are caring, friendly and knowledgeable. There is a real 'family'
vibe as you step through the door and I instantly knew my son would be well cared for. Sending my son to New Moon was the best decision and my younger son will also be attending later this year.
27 March 2025
My son has only been attending for a short time due to having to remove him from another setting, my experience so far has been amazing. All the staff are great and they have been so helpful with supporting me with my son. I am extremely happy that I made the choice to send him to this nursery.
20 March 2025
We couldn't be more pleased with New Moon. The high level of care that our son receives each day couldn't be more apparent, from the moment he bounds in through the door in the morning with whichever member of staff receives him to the thoughtful and specific feedback we receive on collection at the
end of the day. His key workers clearly care about him, his happiness and his development. As well as handover, the app is updated to share pictures, food and sleep info as well as keep an open line of communication. We trust this setting with our child completely and are thrilled with the work that they do.

My child has attended New Moon Nursery since he was 4 months old and has just turned 1. The development opportunities the nursery has given him are fantastic, they are broad, nurturing and tailored to him and his abilities. The nursery has worked with us to ensure we are aligned on his routine and
development goals, whilst proving a fun and safe environment for him to grow and build confidence. He loves going to nursery, and when I visit you can see how happy all of the children are. The nursery offers real life play environment which is aligned with many Montessori principles. There is a beautiful garden which the children go out and play/sing in everyday. They also take the children out on outings in the local area. The food is varied, delicious, nutritious and healthy. All of the staff are professional, approachable and very knowledgeable. It was a huge thing for me to hand over my newborn baby to someone but I trusted them implicitly.

My little boy has only been at this nursery since February and I can't thank the staff enough for the help and the care they give my little boy he always comes home with lots of smiles on his face he is always busy doing fun activities and playing outside
Safe to say he absolutely loves it here
keep doing what your doing it's an amazing nursery
