We couldn't be more pleased with New Moon. The high level of care that our son receives each day couldn't be more apparent, from the moment he bounds in through the door in the morning with whichever member of staff receives him to the thoughtful and specific feedback we receive on collection at the end of the day. His key workers clearly care about him, his happiness and his development. As well as handover, the app is updated to share pictures, food and sleep info as well as keep an open line of communication. We trust this setting with our child completely and are thrilled with the work that they do.

My child has attended New Moon Nursery since he was 4 months old and has just turned 1. The development opportunities the nursery has given him are fantastic, they are broad, nurturing and tailored to him and his abilities. The nursery has worked with us to ensure we are aligned on his routine and development goals, whilst proving a fun and safe environment for him to grow and build confidence. He loves going to nursery, and when I visit you can see how happy all of the children are. The nursery offers real life play environment which is aligned with many Montessori principles. There is a beautiful garden which the children go out and play/sing in everyday. They also take the children out on outings in the local area. The food is varied, delicious, nutritious and healthy. All of the staff are professional, approachable and very knowledgeable. It was a huge thing for me to hand over my newborn baby to someone but I trusted them implicitly.

Our child started this nursery at 10 months old, she's 19 months now and thriving. She's so confident, loves going to nursery and always happy at collection time. She always surprises us with what she has learnt and we believe new moon nursery has had such a big impact. The staff are amazing and our child seems to have made such a bond with them all, not just her key worker. We definitely made the right decision with this nursery.

We are so grateful for the loving and nurturing environment at New Moon Nursery. Our child has thrived since starting here, learning and developing so many new skills. The staff are incredibly attentive and always go the extra mile to ensure our child feels safe, they are really the best team.

We have tried to enroll our twins in another nursery before and it did not go so well and had to wait a year before there were spots anywhere for two children. Since they have joined New Moon the staff has worked hard to build their confidence and work on different routines which has helped with their development a lot. Staff are friendly and patient, with an attitude to go above and beyond with innovative ideas to encourage the children to open up.

Wonderful nursery, my daughter can be difficult at times and has additional needs. But she loves her key workers and being at nursery. She has improved over the last few months with her speech and behaviour. They have adapted things to her needs to make sure she enjoys her time there and so do others.

Top quality service. Fully trust New Moon with my son. New Moon has appropriate procedures in place for accidents that may occur during the day and are familiar with any prescribed medicines that may need to be taken. Staff are friendly and helpful at all times.

My eldest went to New Moon from the age of 2 and left in August to start school. She loved her time there, the staff helped her develop with her literacy, numeracy, social skills, and potty training. Subsequently, my 2-year-old has been going since March and loves it. Staff have helped her speech and go out of their way to make her feel at home there even though she at times struggled. I can't complain about the nursery and have recommended it to others.

My child attended another nursery before this one and really struggled to settle in. When he moved to New Moon he was settled within the week. His language skills have come such a long way since he started. He has built great relationships with the staff, who you can tell care about the children that attend. He loves the food. Overall we have had a great experience.

Our little boy has been coming here for over a year now and we are incredibly happy with the care and support he receives at New Moon Nursery. The team are absolutely wonderful, they have taken the time to get to know him and his interests and will tailor some of the activities to those interests. The staff are friendly and welcoming and have helped him settle in well with each room move. He comes home every week having learnt something new, and is excited to go to nursery in the mornings. The staff are approachable and deal with concerns quickly and report back afterwards which helped to ease our minds as parents. The nursery is well-maintained, has a great variety of toys and books and a nice outdoor space. They put on a number of events throughout the year too which have been fun. We'd highly recommend New Moon Nursery to any parent looking for a high quality, nurturing and engaging environment for their child.

We have used New Moon for our children since 2019, and wouldn't be able to fathom choosing anywhere else to look after them. The staff are amazing, beyond exceptional in all aspects, the fact they are so adored by our children and spoken of regularly, even by the eldest who left almost 2 years ago speaks volumes. They truly do shape little people's futures. The setting is clearly carefully thought out, with plenty of free play and easy to access activities, giving the children reign over what activity they feel they would like to do as well as staff led activities which are tailored to a child's individual interests. Any parent communication is always clear and concise and any queries are always answered efficiently and with a friendly manner.

New Moon is a fantastic nursery with attentive, dedicated, caring, kind, lovely staff. We feel very lucky that our son is being looked after by such great people - he has developed very well thanks to his time at New Moon.

We’ve had nothing but amazing experiences with this nursery since our eldest started in June 2020. This review relates to the sheer perseverance and hard work that goes into caring for our children every day, but more recently when having to get up to speed with the recent 2-year-old funding policy. I’ve had nothing but issues trying to get eligible codes to work for my son, but staff at New Moon have been emailing the local authority regularly and dealing with a broken system not fit for purpose. It has been frustrating for both of us, but they have kept going and eventually managed to put a solution in place. For this, I am truly grateful as it was causing me no end of stress. I applaud each employee for their hard work, love and care, it means so much to us.

Having had my child in a previous nursery we were blown away by how much better they are. My son loves attending and all the staff are great with him. We get daily updates via the app giving us a piece of mind and some great memories via the selfie weeks. My wife and I highly recommend this facility to anyone we meet looking for a nursery.
