As a first time mum I was feeling particularly anxious about sending my baby to nursey. I was recommended elephant moon by two sets of friends and I am so pleased that they did. They were absolutely great with me and my son. Always happy to talk me through anything I was worrying about before he started, they really made me feel relaxed and comfortable. My son loves going there for as well, he gets so much out of it and everyone is always so welcoming and friendly. I couldn't recommend highly enough

Elephant Moon is a wonderful nursery for our little boy - he absolutely loves his days there, and it's great being sent photos and updates to let us know what he's up to. The team are caring, genuine, flexible and it is obvious that our son loves them! We couldn't ask for anything more. Thank you all!

Really fantastic nursery! Our daughter joined one year ago and she loves it. She’s developed so much since she started thanks to all of the wonderful practitioners. Different activities every day, really varied food menu and great communication. Can highly recommend!

I can't recommend Elephant Moon Nursery highly enough. They have cared for all three of my children with genuine affection, patience and care. All three left Elephant Moon feeling more than ready to embark on school and their teachers have commented on how well prepared they have been with regards their independence and knowledge (e.g. phonics, numbers and shapes), much of that is thanks to their time spent at Elephant Moon. Amanda is always flexible, accommodating and striving to keep the setting open come rain, shine, Covid or snow! During the time our children attended the setting, the team at Elephant Moon were like the helpful, reliable, family member we needed and we miss them all hugely!

Fab nursery. I have been using Elephant Moon since 2014 and can't rate it highly enough. My eldest son transitioned into school so easily and my youngest, who still attends EM loves it. He even asks at weekends if he can go to nursery today!!!! The staff and management are all so lovely and approachable and the communication is brilliant!
Annabelle Wilkinson
Absolutely wonderful nursery. My daughter joined Jul 2020 after her previous setting closed due to covid and the team were wonderful, they really helped her settle during what was a difficult time and my daughter really thrived there. Cannot recommend enough. She's now in school but still talks about Elephant Moon!
Kara Willetts
I would highly recommend Elephant Moon nursery. The staff are all really friendly and helpful. They are very responsive to emails and calls so I can always get the guidance I need as a first time mum.
My son loves it there. They do all the messy activities that I don’t find the time to do myself which I really appreciate. I love the daily updates I get and photos about what he is up to. Thank you for all your support.

I have two children who have attended Elephant Moon and I can’t have asked for more from a nursery setting. I have always been given detailed information about their activities every day - both through Tapestry and a daily diary - and all members of staff have been totally respectful of maintaining my children’s routine. I’ve been particularly impressed by the fact that both the staff who oversee the various rooms and the management are incredibly knowledgeable about every individual child which implies a real involvement in the children’s care. Most importantly, both of my children are happy, settled and confident and have developed innumerable social and academic skills thanks to their attendance at this setting. I can’t recommend Elephant Moon highly enough.

Our child attended Elephant Moon for 3 years and loved it! They have an amazing team of staff that really care for the children and give them the best start in life. Highly recommend them for nursery and pre-school.

Sophie Longley
Both our daughters absolutely love the nursery setting and have always felt safe and supported by the team there. Our eldest has recently started school and the preparation at the pre-school has definitely shown in how well she has settled. Amanda and the rest of the team really do feel like an extension of family - a really special place where children thrive.
Clare Cook
This is a great nursery - it has such a great family feel. All the nursery staff seem to care and take a huge interest in the development of the children. We are kept up to date daily on our child’s learning and development journey. Both our children go to this nursery for a reason and they clearly love it.
Cath Wilford
We have used Elephant Moon for almost 5 years between our 2 children. The staff are a credit to the nursery and I would highly recommend this setting to anyone looking for a safe, nurturing and engaging environment for their child.
Laura Wasylkiw
We are so happy with this nursery. Our LO goes in so happily every time, and the communication is fantastic, even during the Covid restrictions, we felt in touch and aware of everything that was going on. The nursery staff are kind, caring and attentive.
Annalie Smith
Wonderful nursery and pre-school setting. Staff are so welcoming, attentive and caring. Our twin daughters thrived at this nursery and we could not recommend it enough.

A wonderful nursery that go above and beyond to care for our child. Consistent and thorough lines of communication ensuring we are always kept in the loop. Cannot fault!
Samuel Tribe
Elephant Moon is a superb early years setting, all of the staff are fantastic and supportive. I could not recommend this business highly enough.
Nick Willetts
The staff has been caring and professional. We never had any complaints and our child has adjusted nicely in the setting. The practitioners are well trained in their field and keeps children engaged in new activities daily which is helping them develop different skills. We recommend this place.
Ashish Dhawan
This nursery is highly professional and children are thriving. They establish good communication with parents and update us on everything the kids do throughout the day. My son loved it and it was a joy to see him going inside the building without any tears, but a smile on his face. Every day they do different activities, messy play, book of the week, sensory tray, Makaton, songs....and we parents get plenty of photos and updates through Tapestry. All the staff are really friendly, answer all the questions, kind to kids. Our son was thriving and developed so much! We will miss the nursery a lot.
Kristina Gavran
All 3 of our children have attended Elephant moon from about 8 months old. We've always been very impressed with the setting. The staff are very professional and fantastic with the children. It offers a lovely, well structured day and encourages confidence and independence preparing the children perfectly for the move to primary school.
Alice Lawtey
Elephant Moon is a truly wonderful day nursery. Our daughter has been attending since she was around 9 months old up until she is now leaving for school. All of the staff are friendly, helpful and have a strong desire to help children grow, develop and learn. We were truly lucky to have sent our daughter to Elephant Moon. We will very much miss everyone there. Gareth, Hannah and Eleanor.
Gareth Ford-Lloyd
We all absolutely LOVE Elephant moon and the girls. Our son is always happy and excited to go and play, learn & read with them. They really do take the time to get to know your child, meaning they can tell if they’re a little off and give them that extra comfort. He loves the food that’s prepared daily and the notifications provided mean we’re fully updated on what’s happened each day. We couldn’t have asked for better and are confident our daughter will love it just as much when she starts in September!
Laura Cornwell
We've had two children go through Elephant Moon - each since just before age 1, through to the week before they started school. Both of our boys had an incredibly happy experience. We always felt confident leaving them with Amanda and the team. They have learnt so much through play and the practitioners really do take time to adapt activities to the children's individual and collective preferences. Our eldest son's "wedding", teaching all about camping and our younger son's day of being a builder are big highlights for us - Elephant Moon created some very very special memories. Amanda is a fantastic manager - it's a really hard job managing stressed parents, a young workforce and all the regulatory requirements - and for much of our experience, a pandemic too! Thank you Elephant Moon! We will recommend you to everyone.
Anna Wood
My son has been going to Elephant Moon since he was 9 months and loves it! My daughter also went there (she is just about to start secondary school!) The experience for both children has been excellent. Amanda and the whole team are so friendly yet professional. I have never had any concerns of any kind. I cannot recommend Elephant Moon highly enough and trust them 100%. They are so creative with the activities, the communication is very good. My son knows every single member of staff and they all know him (not sure if that's a good thing!!)
Caroline ELLIS
Elephant moon day nursery is the most wonderful childcare setting where children thrive. As a first time mum, I was anxious about leaving my child with someone else but Elephant moon instantly put my mind at ease with regular updates and communications throughout the day. The staff are all so friendly and welcoming which creates a lovely family environment. All of the staff have known my child’s name from the moment she arrived, even the staff who don’t look after her on a daily basis. My daughter loves going there and practically runs in every morning. What more can you ask for! I can’t recommend Elephant Moon highly enough!
