New Moon Nursery provides a “home based” nursery experience, set within a large period property. The property has been thoughtfully converted in order to provide a warm caring setting for all children up to 5 years old.

New Moon Nursery is conveniently located on Barnes Road, just off Junction 32 of the M62, and close to the Xscape and the Junction 32 outlet. The nursery is easily accessible for Wakefield, Pontefract, Castleford and Normanton, as well as commuters.

New Moon Nursery developed from a family desire to provide local children with an excellent nurturing learning environment. Maureen, the nursery manager, is a highly qualified teacher with 16 years of experience teaching nursery and reception age children. Maureen played a key role in her former school attaining outstanding Ofsted inspections for the past 10 years. Maureen’s daughter, Anna, is a Specialist Speech and Language therapist, with many years experience in pre-5 language and communication development. Maureen and Anna have developed a nursery team which fully understands the importance of forming solid foundations within language and learning.
