Our daughter has settled in so nicely to this hidden gem of a nursery. It stands out from the rest because its so small, so all the staff know all the children and they form a close bond. The manager, is very hands on and has always been flexible and really helpful. She knows all the children really
well and will also resolve any issues asap. The staff always incorporate whatever is happening at home into daily play, e.g holidays. They also went out of their way to celebrate my child's birthday week. My daughter loves going to Paper Moon, she calls all the team her friends and shares many happy memories, also reflected in the way she has developed so well since she started in October 2021. I can't fault the nursery, the staff have all been super friendly, approachable and reassuring whenever I have first-time mum fears. They adapt their day accordingly, have great meal plans and words cant describe what a great job they do, keep up the outstanding work Paper Moon, Lenton!

My child has been at Paper Moon Day Nursery since she was nine months. It was not easy trusting someone to look after your child but Paper Moon were reassuring and gave us enough sessions to settle in until we were both ready. The staff are very nice and do a good job looking after my little one.

This was the first nursery my daughter went to and she absolutely bloomed there. The staff are great and she also developed great eating habits since she has started. She now eats everything. The nursery environment is very clean and friendly and both of my kids really enjoy their time there and have
bonded well with the staff. I have zero worries or concerns about them when they are at the nursery.

My son has been going to Paper Moon since 2020 at the branch of West Bridgeford, when we moved to Aspley and due to their excellent service, we chose to be with them in spite of the long distance. They work hard to provide the best daycare. The manager is so kind and helpful. I would recommend them
definitely to my friends and relatives.

My daughter has been attending Paper Moon Day nursery for 1.5 years, and I'm very happy with the care. I love that the staff are very friendly, professional, and regularly update me on my little one's daily activities.


The nursery staff does a great job at making exciting activities for the children

and celebrating all kinds of cultural events and holidays. My daughter has been moving from full-time to part-time and vice versa, and I appreciate that the nursery manager was flexible to arrange that within a short period of time.

My sons love the nursery, as a place as well as teachers there. He's passed through a very long and crying journey until he got used to the nursery, so well that he never wants to leave and always asks when is his next day in the nursery. Me, as his mum, I'm very satisfied with the care and variety
of food and activities kids have there. Football wednesdays are the best for my little one, as he loves playing with the ball. The teachers are always friendly and their positive attitude is very recognisable. Can fully recommend that to the new kids.

My daughter has been attending this nursery for the last two and half years and I can say that the nursery is very good and all the staff are professional, always met with a smile. The nursery in total has a positive vibe and the staff have a friendly attitude. They always try to nurture a close connection
with kids so that they feel like a second home. Regular updates regarding a child's progress is available through an app, catch up calls and face to face. Nursery always makes sure they celebrate all festivals, special days and occasions (eg: Seasonal festivals, Halloween, Eid, Diwali, Valentines Day, Chinese New Year, World Book Day, Red Nose Day, Mother's Day), thus children are aware of those and they learn to have an inclusive culture. Nursery always welcome parent's ideas and opinions. I also want to appreciate the nursery manager for the timely communications and details.

My child started nursery here last year and it is local to my house. Before starting nursery I asked friends with small children to recommend a nursery as the last nursery I used for my older son was in lady bay, Nottingham. Three friends of mine said how lucky I was now that I had moved house to have
an excellent nursery, Paper Moon Lenton, more or less on my doorstep. Within days my child was settled and very happy every day to arrive at nursery. All of his dietary needs are met, and the staff are just wonderful. I am so pleased I chose this place for him he is a happy child.

Our daughter has been attending Paper Moon Day Nursery in Lenton since March and at first, we were really apprehensive about her starting a nursery due to the current pandemic but all the staff at the nursery have been so supportive and understanding. They have put our mind at ease as they follow the
strict safety measures put in place and they have no problem with me contacting them at any time just to check on our daughter. We also get regular updates and photos are sent over on Tapestry so we get to see what our daughter has been getting up to. My son attended Paper Moon when he was younger and he absolutely loved it and after meeting the nursery manager for our induction we knew we had made the right decision by sending our daughter here. We love the fact the nursery itself is quite small, it gives you that home from home feeling. The staff are always attentive to the children and it's clear to see how much the children enjoy being there. We cannot thank the staff enough!

My 3 years son has been going to Paper Moon Lenton Nursery for almost 1 year and a half now and we absolutely love it. I can see the growth and learning every day! The Director is awesome and such a loving and understanding person! The staffs are great with so much heart and a caring mindset. In the
beginning, I was very worried to send my little one to a nursery due to the hygiene issue, which you may face in some nurseries! However, this nursery is clean and careful about hygiene. One of the most important things is when you have any notes or comments, it is taken into consideration and addressed directly and very carefully! The director and staff really make an effort to providing a safe, fun, and loving environment, and we’re very thankful to the director and the whole team at Paper Moon. My son was very shy before sending him to the nursery, but now he is very confident and very excited to go to the nursery every day!

Staff are always happy and smiling and have supported my grandchildren and offered advice and support around learning and development. Although nursery has a wonderful range of activities, it would be nice to see more ICT. Love the variety of food on offer, it really reflects the nursery; it's healthy
and very balanced. My grandchildren often talk about helping prepare food and baking with the chef.

Paper Moon Day Nursery - Lenton really is an amazing nursery. The staff are so welcoming, they are really attentive to the children’s needs. My son was so shy and only used to being at home with me but he settled in instantly and within a couple of weeks was asking to go everyday! The indoor and outdoor
areas are homely, clean and full of good toys and equipment. The food they provide is always amazing and they include meals from all the children’s cultures. The staff go above and beyond for the children, they provide fun and educational activities everyday and keep us updated with pictures and in-depth descriptions of all the fun the children are having via an app. The nursery is run very well and in the eight months that my son has being attending, I have not had any problems or issues. The staff have really made me feel so comfortable leaving my son, knowing he is in such good hands. They care for all the children so well and are so friendly.

Due to Covid-19, my daughter's day-to-day nursery closed for six weeks. They decided to only open for key workers' families and because both my husband and I work from home, we are not key workers. Our daughter had nowhere to go for around six weeks. We rang Paper Moon Day Nursery - Lenton and explained
our situation. It is challenging to be in full-time jobs and look after our daughter. The nursery staff were super kind and helpful. They took our daughter in and treated her very well. My little one is so happy to go to nursery daily, and sometimes when I pick her, she had so much fun that she does not want to go home. Thank you so much for everything.

Great Nursery and lovely staff. Our son has been attending the nursery since 2017, and is now in preschool and has always been cared for brilliantly. He absolutely loves it there, they have so many activities going on, lots of stories, numeracy and literacy sessions. Our son is already able to count
to 10, recognise numbers and he knows some initial sounds. Cannot recommend the Nursery enough!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.859)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.859) out of 10 for Paper Moon Day Nursery - Lenton 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 38 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 38 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 4.859 for Paper Moon Day Nursery - Lenton is calculated as follows: ( (390 Excellents x 5) + (53 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 448 Ratings = 4.859

  • 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 - Lenton is based on 38 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 40 number of registered child places is 8, which has been reached with 38 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.
