This is a fantastic nursery my little boy loves attending every day.
There are always educational activities on offer while also meeting the children’s interests. The staff are very warm and welcoming and easy to approach.
My son has developed so many skills and made lots of lovely friends.
The
nursery is very accommodating for me as a shift worker they understand and support me sending my son different days and times. They will also accommodate at short notice when family crises occur.
Would definitely recommend this nursery.

I've been using Paper Moon for the past 18 months for my twins and I have been highly impressed and totally satisfied in all areas of the nursery. As well as being flexible and accommodating when extra sessions are needed, for me, the underlying factor which sets the nursery aside is that I totally
believe that all the skilled team really care about my children and want my children to be the best they can. The Paper Moon team do this by:
•   Developing confidence through exploratory play.
•   Understanding your children’s achievements in key milestones and sharing this through Tapestry - the interactive online learning journal.
•   Wanting to develop relationships and bonds with your children.
•   Showing empathy at all times, so you really feel your children are as important to them as they are to you.
I have total trust in this nursery that they are doing everything they can in helping my children grow and develop into awesome little people and I would 100% recommend this nursery.

I can not recommend or praise Paper Moon enough for the care and support they have given to my little boy over the past 2 years. He has had hearing difficulties, the nursery and staff team were amazing at ensuring that necessary paperwork was in place and staff knew how best to support him in both group
sessions and 1:1 basis. They have been involved in hearing about recommendations from professionals such as Senior Leadership and Team and his current key worker, has been proactive in introducing them within his sessions.
He has developed in confidence, especially over the past few months and has formed positive relationships with all the staff who greet us each time he is there. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff team or manager and they are always flexible when I need extra sessions or half day sessions due to work commitments.
I will always recommend this nursery to others. Staff team and the environment is perfect to support my little boy as he prepares for mainstream nursery school.

I have used Paper Moon Day Nursery for approximately 4 years and both of my daughters, from the age of 18 months. The staff have always been brilliant and very informative about what my children have been doing the day.


Both children thrived after the initial settling in period and progressed really

well in all areas, ready for them starting at school.

Our daughter has attended Paper Moon at Forest Town since she was nine months old. I visited four local nurseries and was extremely anxious about leaving our daughter in childcare. I knew straight away that Paper Moon was the right one and I have never questioned this decision.
My daughter is now nearly
three and getting ready to move into Paper Moon Preschool Room (Tigers).
As she has moved up/progressed into new rooms/groups we have whittled that the staff in the new rooms wouldn’t be as good as the staff we had got to know. We have always quickly been reassured by all the staff's knowledge and kindness.
The manager is very passionate about getting the service right for the children, she is always approachable and has never once made me feel like a pain for the ‘just checking she’s okay’ phone call.
We would not hesitate to recommend Paper Moon at Forest Town to anyone and I thank them for making being a working mum easier due to having trust in your childcare provider!

If you have any concerns about leaving your child and if they are a little clingy then this is the place you need to take your child. My son and daughter are attending the holiday club for the first time and my son finds it hard with new things new people.
I took them both and the lady who was looking
after them was amazing she really put me at ease with the way she was with them. He was upset as I was leaving him and she took my place and comforted him and he was fine I cried more than he did.
This may not sound anything amazing but when my son doesn't always stay with family members there is only one word I can use for this place and it's amazing, he couldn't wait to go the next day.
It took me 3 years at school for him to stop crying when I left him and it took them 10 minutes.
I cannot thank them enough I couldn't give them a 10/10 as this just wouldn't be enough and no words can really show my gratitude.

Our daughter joined Paper Moon in September 2016 at age 10 months, she has settled quickly and loves being there.
The staff are so welcoming and friendly and seem to really take the time to get to know each child individually. They all greet our daughter personally when they see her in the corridor
- regardless of which room they are usually in.
Our daughter is encouraged to explore and play individually, as well as with others and in organised activities with the staff - her language has developed leaps and bounds in the last few months and we have the nursery to thank for this!
The food is varied and nutritional, and we get a detailed breakdown of what she has eaten throughout the day, and how much of each portion she has eaten at the end of the day. She has tried a number of new foods since joining Paper Moon.
Knowing she is so happy there has made the return to full-time work less painful, and I would happily recommend Paper Moon to friends and family.

I have 2 sons - aged 3 years and aged 9 months. They both attend Paper Moon Day Nursery. My 3-year-old has attended the nursery since he was 9 months old. His development at the nursery has been exceptional. He has always been happy to go to the nursery and has made a circle of friends that have progressed
with him through the nursery rooms. My 9-month old started nursery 6 weeks ago. He settled immediately and has formed a close bond with his key person. He always greets nursery with a smile in a morning which made my transition back to work following maternity leave much easier.
I have been very happy with the nursery and all of the staff.

Fantastic nursery, ever since my little boy started going to Paper Moon Forest Town since he was 6 months old (he is now 4), he has come on in leaps and bounds. He has learnt so much more than I could of ever have taught him, socially and educationally. He loves going to Nursery 3 days a week and his
teachers are amazing and he loves each and every one of them. Every night he comes home and tells me all about his day and all the lovely healthy food and snacks that he has eaten. Ever since he was a toddler he has always been encouraged to try new foods and this has meant that he will now eat most fruit and Veg. I can't praise and thank this nursery and the amazing staff enough for everything that they have done for myself and my son.

Our son has been attending Paper Moon Forest Town for just under 2 years now and has come on loads since starting there. He loves the staff and they make him feel welcome and loved. He had his own key worker to help him along with his speech and he also has dietary issues and they are brilliant with
that too.

My little girl has been attending Paper Moon Day Nursery for a number of years and has grown into a confident child with the excellent support of the staff. We had no hesitation to put our little boy into the nursery once I went back to work. Staff are excellent and are so supportive.


As a family,

we have had struggles and the nursery staff are compassionate and caring. My little girl and boy have fantastic bonds with the staff and are achieving their targets thanks to the staff.


We could not recommend Paper Moon enough.

I love Paper Moon and all the staff. My little one goes 1 day a week normally and is always greeted personally and at the end of the day, is so content. She often doesn't notice I am there to pick her up.
The children are always doing activities with new ones introduced regularly and the updates in
her nursery diary let me see exactly what she has done and eaten that day. Fab nursery, would highly recommend to others.

Our daughter had to move to a new nursery after one we had chosen closed down suddenly. We looked at reviews of various nurseries around the district and found that Papermoon was our most favourable option. We were invited to a trial session and a look around the nursery. During her trial session
our daughter had so much fun and played with nearly every toy there. That sealed the deal for us.
The staff are all welcoming and interact with every child. They not only offer entertainment, but the EYFS learning, this will instil a solid foundation for their progress into school. The site has ample outdoor activities spread over two play areas.
Neither my wife, nor I, can sing the praises of this particular Papermoon site enough. We would highly recommend it to anyone looking for full or part-time childcare in the Mansfield, and surrounding, areas.
Our daughter has now moved onto full time school and will miss the staff and friends that she made.

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.
