Absolutely wonderful nursery! Both my daughters attended from 10-months to 2.5years. Straight away, from the first visit, I got a really good vibe. All the staff were so warm and friendly. Both girls loved going to this nursery, they settled in immediately and soon it felt like I was dropping them off
with family.
Returning to work after having a baby is daunting, and you need reassurance that your children are not only safe and cared for but having fun, this amazing team were there, both times, to do just that.
I will be forever grateful to them all for their professionalism, care, love, compassion, humour and friendship.

Both my children attended this nursery from 9 months to school. They loved their time here and even ask to go on a Sunday. I couldn’t recommend Paper Moon enough. The staff are great and very welcoming.

Our daughter was at Paper Moon from one until starting school this September and our son is currently attending the nursery. We have been over the moon with the care and learning opportunities Paper Moon have given both our children. The staff are extremely helpful and go out of their way to ensure
the children are given the opportunity to thrive in many different aspects of nursery activities. The food has always been a very varied menu and both our children enjoy the food. I would have no hesitation in recommending Paper Moon to anyone.

Both of my children have attended Paper Moon for at least three years and they have loved every minute of it. The ladies are just amazing and I can’t thank them enough for the love they have given both of my girls. I would highly recommend this nursery. The manager should be very proud of how she runs
the nursery.

My son attended Paper Moon at Gamston. During his time at Paper Moon, the staff supported my son immensely, always going above and beyond. They accepted my son for who he is and were not daunted by my son's additional needs like other nurseries were.
I am really pleased with the progress he has made.
They also made me feel at ease, I knew when I left my son in the morning, he would be safe and would enjoy his time there. I highly recommend Paper Moon at Gamston, they are amazing!

I could not be any more impressed with this nursery than I already am. The staff are 100% on point and are so warm, friendly and knowledgeable and I fully trust them and their experience. All the staff are more deserving of anything than I can put into words.
They have gone above and beyond for me
and my family more than I ever expected and we are so grateful for them and how caring they have been to not just to our child on a daily basis but to us as parents by extension.
They keep parents very well informed of everything involving your child and you never feel that you are bothering them with questions if you are a nervous or anxious parent like I am.
We all want the best for our children and I feel that my child's best interests are very well looked after under their care.

We moved to this nursery in 2017 and could not have been happier with the team the manager had looking after our daughter. The manager was fantastic and helped us in the transition from a poorly run previous nursery and eased our fears quickly. Our daughter has moved into a school this year as a well
adjusted 4 year old with good manners, habits and happy to go to school. They always kept us informed through the app on how she was doing and it was great to be collecting things from her tray almost every single day. We have a scrapbook almost a mile thick already just from a year at Papermoon. Thanks to the team, you're a real credit to the profession.

My two children started attending nursery at the age of 6 and 7 months, full time since they were 1. I cannot thank all the nursery staff enough for their hard work and dedication. They show so much love and care for the children that we were really confident from the first day to leave our children
under their supervision. They follow very closely each child´s development, and they share this information with parents at regular meetings to make sure we can work together in our children´s development. Both kids have always been really happy at nursery and have made really good bonds with the ladies and peers. Christmas and summer events are very well organised. You can tell that nursery staff make a real effort to make those days special for children and parents. Graduation this year was a really special moment, very emotional and it showed the special bonds he´s made with all staff.


All staff are very well trained and the nursery manager makes sure that this training is up to date.

Both my daughters have attended Paper Moon for the last year and I can’t speak highly enough of the manager and her team.
All the staff have a genuine love of working with children and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming.
Our children had previously attended an Ofsted rated outstanding nursery
in London and I can honestly say I’d choose Paper Moon over them any day! Rooms are lovely and bright with constant access to the fantastic outdoor space, there is always plenty for the children to do and we are kept up to date via the online Tapestry journal. My eldest has loved her French lessons particularly and both children have thrived in such a safe and supportive learning environment. Not to mention the extra touches like Christmas parties and graduation disco which was held on a Saturday morning meaning more parents could attend - staff go above and beyond for the children.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Paper Moon to anyone.

Papermoon at Gamston is a fantastic nursery.


My son has attended since he was 11 months old and the staff have always made me feel confident and happy to leave him in their care. The nursery provides such a loving and homely atmosphere and environment in which my boy is thriving.


They provide

a range of activities on a daily basis which would be near impossible to replicate at home! The free-flow allowed to the older toddlers into the secure and well-equipped garden is great. They even have their own nursery pet bunny to enrich their experience and learning.


My boy loves attending nursery, and he's made such strong bonds with his key workers since starting, it's lovely to see which leaves no doubt in my mind that Papermoon are a brilliant bunch of ladies.

I just cannot speak highly enough about this nursery and I always recommend it. I currently have 3 children at the nursery and they all absolutely love it! EVERY single member of staff is so friendly and approachable - they clearly have excellent relationships with all the children, they treat them
as individuals and take a genuine interest in all that they do.
The nursery has been very accommodating to our dietary requirements fully supporting our healthy eating and on numerous occasions have gone out of their way to make sure our needs were met, and again ALL the staff are supportive of this.
The staff are exceptional and so is the manager - she is so friendly and welcoming, nothing is ever too much trouble and she is always around to speak to and fully involved with the care of all the children.
My eldest daughter has absolutely loved the yoga classes that take place on a Monday and I'm excited for my son and my youngest daughter to experience this too.
Thank you to all the ladies for everything.

All three of my children have attended Papermoon nursery in Gamston since 2010 and my youngest is still there now. We moved to Radcliffe in 2011 and this is far the best nursery in the area. My boys have been extremely happy, the staff are all friendly the manager is really approachable, kind and flexible
and they all care about all the children. They get out with the children lots and do lots of different activities. They do yoga every week and have done French too. I would recommend anyone to attend this nursery. I will be extremely sad to leave when my youngest starts school next September but eternally gratefully for the care they have received whilst at Paper Moon.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.925)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.925) out of 10 for Paper Moon Day Nursery - Gamston is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.925 for Paper Moon Day Nursery - Gamston is calculated as follows: ( (210 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 226 Ratings = 4.925

  • 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 - Gamston is based on 19 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 70 number of registered child places is 14, which has been reached with 19 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.
