Papermoon Nursery and its Staff are amazing! I can not thank them enough for the many of years I have been with them with both my children and how much each and every one of them have helped my children develop and thrive over the years. The nursery is homely, welcoming and full of life, it is in a
perfect location for families to be able to get to. The staff at Papermoon are just outstanding, they are very welcoming, friendly, approachable and very helpful, I have always worried about my children and who they are looked after as we are a very close family but the staff at Papermoon make it easier for me to relax and enjoy days knowing that my child/children are in the best of hands. I would like to say thank you to all the staff at Papermoon Nursery for all their support over the years it really means a lot, and the memories, fun learning and happiness that they have made, supported and given my child/ children to blossom into the little individual/s they have become.

It was extremely daunting looking for a nursery as a first-time parent, but after looking at various, the staff, facilities and impression we got from the children at Paper Moon Doddington Park were amazing and stood out amongst the rest. Our son settled in instantly to the baby room since joining in
April 2023 and the staff have been so supportive of his development and achievements. He always has so much fun, the staff are so friendly and he has a great bond with them all, updates are given throughout the day via the Famly app including meals, nappy changes, pictures of what they’ve been up to etc. They genuinely care for each of the children and I can feel at ease at work knowing he is having an amazing time and in safe hands. Meals are always healthy and balanced and there is usually at least outside time once a day which was important to me when looking for a place for my son. Management are helpful and friendly and gets involved with the children too.

Excellent manager always looks into any concerns raised. My little girl becomes very upset when she needs to separate from me when she comes to the nursery, but the staff puts a lot of effort into calming her down and makes the process of going to nursery pleasant for her.

I’ve seen my daughter develop so much, especially with her words and communication. Thank you. I was so nervous at first putting my daughter into

Wonderful staff and very welcoming. Helped my son settle in very quickly and put me at ease with him just starting. Great at keeping me updated and ensuring I'm always aware of how his day was. The staff are very loving and friendly which makes me feel more comfortable with leaving my son for the first
time. And now my child loves going to nursery and is happy to go in.

My little boy will be four soon and has been at this nursery since he was nine months old. He will be off to school soon and I’m so sad that he will be leaving nursery.
From the beginning the team have looked after him so well and made me feel so comfortable when leaving him there. He’s a bit sensitive
but they have always been so good at giving him the individual attention when he needs it.
They really care for your child and he always has fun with a range of activities each day. Now he can talk the drive home is always full of all the fun he’s had.
He’s learning so much and has done throughout his time there. He is great at eating and using cutlery, he picked up drinking from a cup very early on too. The food is varied and interesting - puts my weekend meals to shame!
Overall a really good nursery and I feel so happy with my choice.

My son attended this nursery from when he was 9 months old until he was 2 years 9 months and I was absolutely gutted to move him out due to a job change. The staff, management and facilities are absolutely fantastic and I have recommended Paper Moon Day Nursery to all of my friends who have asked about
nursery settings. My son always looked forward to his nursery day and seeing "his ladies" and will miss everyone very much! If my circumstances changed again, I wouldn't hesitate to re-enrol both him and my younger child.

The whole team have been extremely supportive during my son's time at the nursery. It was recently difficult for him to move to another room as he isn't great with change. The whole team were so supportive at drop-off time and made such an effort to get to know him and what he likes so he felt happier
being dropped off. He soon settled in. His development is excellent, his speech is great and he can sit and eat with cutlery at a young age because of the nursery. They have taught him a lot and he is enjoying every second. I'm so happy knowing he's at such a great nursery each day.

Simply put: this has been the best nursery my daughter attended. The staff really care about the children and there is a fantastic sense of community throughout. I can't praise enough the director and the senior staff. Thanks for looking after my little one with love and dedication. Our daughter will
have you in her memories until she will be a grown up!

Our son loves going to nursery, extremely caring staff who are always bright and cheerful. He has been at Paper Moon Day Nursery - Doddington Park since he was 8 months old and we have been so pleased with the communication about his development and love seeing the pictures and stories of what he has
been up to on the app. The staff have been great at reassuring us when we had worries about his development.

The staff are very friendly and make children feel welcome. They work alongside parents to help children to progress and flourish in the nursery environment. My child always comes home happy and contented and it is good to see his progress via the reports left on the parents' app each day.

The staff are great, they are really caring. My son started when he was 1 year 11 months and he has learned so much since he started going to the nursery. They are all very kind and considerate esp during the lockdown they adjust my son’s schedule to fit to our needs. Really happy and no complaints.
I highly recommend.

A lovely little nursery with amazing staff. Having moved my son here from another local nursery, I can honestly say I wish I knew about this place before. My son loves this place and never wants to leave. The staff are lovely and so genuinely caring! We love the daily diary and seeing tapestry updates
is great as you see the daily activities and your child's participation. Thank you girls - you are amazing.

My son had a rocky start to nursery as it was all new, however, I felt all the staff members went above and beyond to make sure he settled in quickly. Since attending nursery his speech has come on amazingly and his confidence has come on leaps and bounds. I cannot say a bad word about this nursery.

My daughter started nursery at the beginning of January. The staff are amazing, they helped what was an emotional time for my daughter, to be a stress-free process. My daughter loves the staff that work there and enjoys playing with all the toys.

I was really worried about back to work and leaving my little boy. He was still so small and also had not long been diagnosed with an intolerance to cows milk. However, after the kindness and reassurance from all the staff when I dropped him off on his first day I knew he was in safe hands. When I went
to pick him up he was full of smiles and absolutely loved his day so much so that he cried when we were leaving. I really liked the online learning.

I value this nursery and the time my son has spent here so far. The nursery has given my son such a wonderful experience. The staff are trustworthy, down to earth and always have useful and professional support and guidance without being forceful in any way. I particularly appreciate the nursery's affiliation
with a local care home, providing an opportunity for the children and older people to learn and benefit from one another and emphasis on charitable experiences. I have always had confidence in the staff's abilities to teach and nurture my son and would highly recommend this 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.
