My child has been at Paper Moon for six months now and the development seen in my child is unbelievable. My child's social and emotional development as well as motor skills has quickly exceeded my expectations and it's a testament to the environment and activities that everyone in the babies area has
created. I feel very fortunate to have found and placed my child there. The moment you step into Paper Moon it has a really good feeling about it, from clean to chaotic you know your child is going to enjoy themselves, sometimes my child doesn't want to leave. Friendly staff and the nicest children, I get greeted by everyone.

Absolutely fantastic nursery, I have sent both my girls here, the eldest has left now but still regularly talks about the staff and how much she misses it there, my youngest is attending currently and I feel so happy with how the staff are with her they are all so friendly and very informative on how
her day has gone. Always putting on daily activities to assist with her learning and development.

My twins have attended Papermoon Jasmin Road since January 2022. The girls have multiple additional needs, and the nursery has supported and helped at every point of their disability journey to special school next year. They go above and beyond in everything they do for the children in their care. They
offer a range of enrichment opportunities and have excellent communication with parents. We have been so lucky to have the girls at this nursery!
Excellent staff!

We have been bringing our daughters for four years. Firstly with the eldest and now my youngest attends. I honestly wouldn't want to send them anywhere else. The manager is so lovely and nothing is a problem, she is always approachable and tries her best to accommodate where she can. She will have one
- one meetings if and when needed about development of your child. The girls looking after the children are great and really get to know them. Both my girls have been well and truly looked after. I love receiving updates through the day on what they have been up to. Nothing is ever too much and always follow any requests. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a nursery.

Absolutely brilliant nursery. Staff are incredibly friendly, helpful and caring towards all the children there. I previously had a bad experience with a nursery and moving him to Paper Moon was the best decision I could have made. The growth and confidence I've seen from my son is phenomenal. All the
staff in the babies room; I can't rate them enough. They're so gentle and caring; my son never comes home hungry or grumpy. 10/10 nursery.

I can't put into words how amazing the staff at Paper Moon Doddington are. The manager and the team are caring, kind and nurturing. Papermoon has given us a huge amount of support and are extremely good with methods and techniques that can be transferred into the home. They are patient with my children
and cater to their individual needs. I have had all 3 children at this nursery - doing a 40-mile round trip per day because I wouldn't want to have my children go anywhere else. The staff are a credit to Papermoon and the manager is so accommodating and has helped with extra childcare on numerous occasions. My children have thrived here.

Doddington Paper Moon is a fantastic nursery. My son has been there since 7 months and has just turned 3. The team in the preschool room are doing a wonderful job getting him adjusted from his switch up from Tweenies. I couldn't recommend it enough.

Excellent nursery setting, staff are amazing, couldn't fault them. My little boy loves it here, we had to change from a childminder as he wasn't getting on well there and since coming here he is so happy! They have recently introduced a facial recognition system on entry so I know my child is safe.
Can't fault the nursery practitioners and staff members are always helpful and friendly, would definitely recommend this setting. Thanks everyone.

Paper Moon Doddington Park is a fabulous nursery, with such a lovely team. They have done so much for both my girls, one of which still enjoys her time here. Lots of laughter, learning, care and outdoor fun.

Our daughter has been going to nursery for a couple of years now and is just about to go into her final year before school. She has loved every second of nursery and her development is at the centre of everything they do. Staff are just wonderful and our daughter is so happy when she walks through the
doors and sees everyone in a morning.

Like any first-time parents, my wife and I were very anxious at the thought of sending our daughter to nursery. After looking around a few nurseries we instantly knew that Paper Moon was the right fit. There is a great balance between fun, and play, allowing the children to express themselves in their
own way while maintaining the right amount of structure and routine. All of the staff were extremely supportive and made it as easy as possible to help my daughter initially settle in. My daughter is in nursery full time and absolutely loves it, so much so that even on weekends when we are getting ready she asks to go. All of the staff are friendly, caring, approachable and genuinely care about the children.

Hands down the best nursery I could have wished for. After viewing a few I knew Paper Moon would be the one for us. I could tell the manager was not trying to ‘sell me’ the nursery, but genuinely cared for the children. And that shows as my child loves her! She is an amazing manager and so approachable
should I have any questions.
The first settling-in session went great and one member of staff in particular was amazing. Putting my mind at ease about leaving him. This particular member of staff is hands down the best room lead for babies I could have hoped for. I was really worried about leaving my child and those worries disappeared so soon after seeing the room lead with the babies.
Another member of staff in particular is also incredible! My child genuinely leaps out of my arms to her, they are like best friends and it’s so sweet to see.
Food options and cleanliness both great! Communication also amazing.
10/10 nursery and highly recommend! I cannot thank all the staff enough for taking care of my child the way they do. They’re all ace!

My daughter has been attending Doddington Park Papermoon since October 2021. She has struggled a lot with social anxiety, with lockdown, and they have supported her incredibly to the point where she is comfortable to ask adults for help, and play with her friends.
The staff have been nothing but amazing.
Especially when it was time to enrol my youngest daughter they allowed her to take every visit at her own pace and always responded to her needs.

From my first walk around of the nursery, I was put at ease, my concerns were addressed and no question I asked seemed silly. I was so worried about leaving my daughter in a nursery and we viewed quite a few. I had such a good feeling about Paper Moon, and I felt happy and confident about leaving my
daughter with the staff. This feeling has never changed. The nursery is clean, the staff are so friendly and kind, the meals are healthy and tasty!
You can clearly see how much the staff care, and it's so lovely seeing relationships develop between your little one and the staff.
10 out of 10 in my opinion!
I can see how happy my daughter is in the photos, and she gets so excited about going to nursery in the morning. That's enough to show me how happy she is there.
The staff are so hands-on and really do care, it's beautiful to see.

I’ve had both of my children at this nursery and I must say it’s one of my best choices I have made as a mother, my SEN son attended in 2019–2021 and I cannot thank the staff enough for getting us and him the support and helping him prepare for mainstream school and I must say without the support none
of it would be possible. And it’s all the support they put in place that managed to help him now in year 2! They were a real safe space for my son and I felt at ease knowing I was leaving him in the amazing care of the ladies at Papermoon even though he is 6 and left 3 years ago he still is excited to see the Manager to tell her about his achievements and adventures. My daughter also attends here and again even with a big staff turnaround we couldn’t feel any more at ease leaving her with the ladies!
And the staff always go above and beyond to make her feel welcome! And she has really settled in! I just want to thank the ladies for the ongoing support for us and the kids!

The most lovely and caring staff you could ask for. My daughter feels so comfortable to be herself at nursery and evidently gets excited to see her favourite staff in the morning. It’s clear how much they all care for my daughter and know her well. I fully trust them with the most precious thing in
the world to me. They celebrate her achievements and milestones with such genuine joy it’s so lovely to see. Would highly recommend this nursery to anyone who wants to feel happy, content and safe with where they send their child and to also see them learn and thrive in the environment.

The team, from the general manager through to the cleaners, are absolutely fantastic. My son has come on so much with the help of the team and he loves his time at nursery. The food is always varied and home-cooked. We are always kept up to date with food/toilet/bumps/activities throughout the day and
there is always a nice summary of his day when I collect him. As there isn't availability for my son to receive 30 hours of free childcare at the moment, we could move him and make the most of this but we are keeping him here and waiting for extra hours to be available, because of how much we rate the nursery.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.955)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.955) out of 10 for Paper Moon Day Nursery - Doddington Park is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 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 4.955 for Paper Moon Day Nursery - Doddington Park is calculated as follows: ( (322 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 336 Ratings = 4.955

  • 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 - Doddington Park is based on 28 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 50 number of registered child places is 10, which has been reached with 28 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.
