My daughter has been coming here since January 2023 and I will be so upset when she leaves! The staff are incredible! Always so kind and polite, they make me feel comfortable leaving my daughter in their care. Not only does my daughter have lots of fun she also learns a lot (I get surprised with some
of the things she tells me). I cannot thank the staff enough for giving my daughter the best start on her education journey.

Absolutely fantastic nursery! The facilities are great and it's always clean. There are tons of pictures and art on the walls, giving it such a wholesome feel.
What really makes it for us though, is the staff! Every single one of them are warm and welcoming and speak so highly of our daughter. They
make us feel special and that's what you want when you're looking for people to care for your child.
Our daughter absolutely loves them too and often springs out of our arms in the morning into theirs for a cuddle.
Highly recommend to anyone!

My child started going to this daycare two years ago and started to like it more and more. He got a very good education from the staff there which he loves very much. He goes every time with great pleasure and he likes the activities he does there that give him the chance to develop his communication
but also other skills that were not so well developed when he started going there.
I would like to thank everyone there for everything they have done and for taking care of my child!

My son has autism g/d and speech delay this nursery has been a godsend they have gone out of their way to accommodate his needs and have helped with other things as well, they are kind polite/friendly always helpful. They have done extremely well with my son. I have an older son who also attended here
to he loves it so much that he begged to go back once he started school. We are going to miss nursery in September as he is then at school. Thank you for making us feel safe, included and well informed and also being amazing to our son. So yes million % recommended x

My son started over a year ago here and the difference in him is amazing! I was worried about his speech and I believe the teachers have gone above and beyond. So happy my son goes here, no complaints whatsoever!

We are over the moon with the progress our daughter has made since starting nursery in June 2021 at 10 months old! She has come on leaps and bounds within a number of her development stages and she absolutely loves going to nursery!
Staff have always been very supportive and helpful with any questions
we have had, even offering advice when we have been finding certain aspects of parenting difficult (sleep-related) and loaning us resources that have worked for our daughter at nursery to trial them at home.
Any issues we have had have always been dealt with immediately and handled well.
Our daughter definitely wouldn’t be half the little superstar she is without the guidance and support she has received and continues to receive at Paper Moon!

My little girl has been going to Paper Moon since she was 6 months old and she absolutely loves it, especially the baby room! In the morning she opens up her arms to go to the nursery staff which is very reassuring and I know she is cared for and well looked after.
The staff have bought my little
girl on so much and she has always hit development milestones early which I feel is down to the nursery and staff. The nursery is kept very clean and tidy which is a bonus as this beats other nurseries in the area by far!

Not being completely happy with my child's previous nursery, moving him wasn't something I felt 100% confident about, however, I can hand on heart say it's the best thing we have done!
At Paper Moon Day Nursery, we really do feel like our child is genuinely cared for as a little individual here and
it's so nice to notice that members of staff that aren't in the baby room know his name too as they say bye to us on drop off/pick up.
The updates on the app are great and so lovely and personal which we love and want to say a big thank you to the staff member that provides the majority of these.
It's hard knowing your little toddler is spending more hours at nursery than at home with mum and dad, but now we can see he's so happy here now that there are less and less tears at drop off it makes it so much easier
In the short space of time attending this nursery, I couldn't recommend enough!

It's always hard returning back to work and leaving your baby but I can honestly say Paper Moon is the best nursery and will put you at ease with their good care. My daughter has been going full time since she's been 8 months. She's nearly 3 years now and we plan on keeping her at Paper Moon for as
long as we can. The staff are friendly and send updates on the online parent's app for you to view whilst you're away from your little one. Thank you, Paper Moon.

Our daughter absolutely loves this nursery and all the staff there. It's simply brilliant. She has a fantastic time and it's so clear how much time love and care the staff put into her development. We also really love the updates they send us about her progress.

I couldn't speak higher of the kangaroo room if I tried! Particularly four ladies on the team - each of whom my daughter adores! The care they have shown towards her has always been above anything I could have expected. My daughter would run into nursery telling me which lady she was going to see that
day, and when she would come out she was always full of stories about what she's been doing and it always included these women, she would often tell me she loves them. The activities they plan and put on for the kids are fabulous too - you really can see the effort they put in to entertain and educate in such a fun way! We absolutely love kangaroos! I want to also mention the lovely new manager. When I have had any conversations with her I have always felt truly heard and her actions have always backed up her words.

Lovely nursery, nice location and nice staff. They keep you updated on events daily via the app. They keep the kids entertained with different themes and events. Only thing is outdoor space could be a bit bigger.
When your child is happy to go to nursery every day without any issues and even looks
forward to it, that speaks volumes on its own.
I would definitely recommend this nursery.

My oldest daughter went to Paper Moon Day Nursery - Forest Town, I was so impressed with them that I sent my younger daughter too.
She was quiet and didn't have a lot of confidence with other children so I decided to send her here to mix with other children. Paper Moon have been outstanding and have
made her the confident, chatty little girl that she is today. She has so many friends and speaks so highly of all the teachers and the chief. The meals they have are incredible and what my daughter won't eat at home, she eats every bit at nursery. They always go above and beyond with her learning and they send me updates and pictures. I wouldn't send any of my children anywhere else, I don't know another nursery like it.

My son attends this nursery and absolutely loves it there. The staff are so friendly and keep me up to date on his activities and care. I was worried he wouldn’t settle as he hasn’t been used to other adults or children but he settled from the first trial. We get to the car park and he gets so excited.
He has learned so much already in such a short time. I travel 30 minutes from where I live because this was the nursery that had such a lovely welcoming feeling with children looking happy and playing when I visited over all the others local to me. Highly recommend them to anyone.

My daughter has been attending Paper Moon for almost two years now and they’ve always been fab! The staff are so friendly and welcoming. It’ll be sad for my daughter to be leaving in the next few months to attend ‘big school’ in September. She’s made many friends whilst attending Paper Moon.

My daughter has thrived at Paper Moon over the past 12 months, even during these scary times as a keyworker, I have felt very at ease that my daughter is safe. The staff are amazing and so friendly and, we will miss them so much when she moves up to school in September. I can't thank them enough for
all their hard work and dedication.

My little boy started here a few weeks back and seems to be settling in well. All the staff are friendly and approachable. The manager is always more than helpful and on hand should you have any queries. We have noticed a development in our little boy's language and are excited to see him develop further
in the future. Thanks again, Paper Moon!

We currently have our second child at Paper Moon, with our first going all the way through from 9 months old. Over the past 4.5 years of using Paper Moon, it has been a delight to see the staff engage with the children and how happy they make them feel. When leaving your child for the first time it
can be very daunting, but Paper Moon makes that process effortless and go that extra mile every day.
Getting daily updates on the online journal gives us a quick and simple view of my child's progress, eating, toileting and activities completed throughout the day. We thank Paper Moon for helping support our children to be who they are today - thank you all at Paper Moon!

All the staff are very welcoming and enjoy their job, they always keep you informed and know you by name. They are working the best they can given the current Covid situation. The children really enjoy attending and have a smile when they are dropped off and picked up.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.950)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.950) out of 10 for Paper Moon Day Nursery - Forest Town 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 27 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 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 4.950 for Paper Moon Day Nursery - Forest Town is calculated as follows: ( (307 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 323 Ratings = 4.95

  • 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 - Forest Town is based on 27 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 108 number of registered child places is 21.6, which has been reached with 27 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.
