My little one truly enjoys this nursery. Since she started attending five days a week, her development has been remarkable. The practitioners are incredibly friendly, supportive, and always ready to help, creating a warm and positive environment.

from P F (Father of Child) published on 25 November 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Our daughter is in the full moons room, the staff there are very friendly, the activities they do seem very varied and it's a good mix of indoor and outdoor play.
In particular she gets to do some baking and food decoration which is good fun and she gets a yummy self made treat for it after too!
The

food they get during the day is also really well planned and balanced, she gets to try all kinds of amazing things made in house by their chef, it's rare she doesn't eat what's given!
They give a good report at the end of the day to let you know what they've been up to and how they've eaten and this is also updated on the parent app too, which is nice as it's very rare you get any major information from her!

Reply from Sally Lowin, Director at Banana Moon Day Nursery Harlow

Thank you for your kind words, it's great to hear how much your daughter loves our food. We will let our chef know to keep up the good work!

Overall Experience

As our child's time at nursery comes to an end, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude to the whole team. From the very beginning, they were welcomed with such kindness, patience, and care. You've helped them grow in confidence and nurtured a genuine love for learning.
It has been such a joy to

watch their development-not only in their learning, but also in their friendships, independence, and overall happiness. The memories they have made here will stay with them, and with us, for a very long time.
Thank you for the smiles, encouragement, gentle guidance, and fun. You've given our child a wonderful start, and we couldn't be more grateful for everything you've done.

Overall Experience

My son attended this nursery and absolutely thrived during his time there. The staff are caring, attentive, and really take the time to get to know each child as an individual. Communication with parents is excellent, and I always felt reassured knowing he was in such a safe and nurturing environment.

I'm so grateful for the positive start they gave him in his early years and would highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a supportive and happy place for their child.
Thank you xx

My son has been with Banana Moon nursery for over 3 years. The staff have done a wonderful job and have been a good influence on his upbringing. The staff are great at calming him down on days he doesn't want to go in and he has also built a solid foundation of friends he see outisde of nursery. He

will miss them all enormously. You guys are great.

Overall Experience

My little boy has been at BM for around 5-6 weeks now, this was one of the first nursery's that me & my husband looked at and liked straight away, consequently me & my neighbour (as she started to also look for a nursery) looked at many others, we both decided on banana moon due to many factors including

the kindness of staff, the continuation of the same staff, location, good vibes ect. I could go on, my little boy has been poorly recently and was admitted to hospital, i had phone calls to check in from BM, emails asking after him, this was something I didn't expect. Even upon his return to nursery the staff had been asking after him, this meant so much as it shows how much they care, he is settling nicely now and smiles for the girls when we go, he eats amazingly well there, and I love the app with updates showing me what he's done, in the short time he's been there, he is already learning new things and progressing nicely. I feel reassured when dropping him in, always have done.

Reply from Sally Lowin, Director at Banana Moon Day Nursery Harlow

Thank you for your kind words. We are glad to see your little boy is much better now and has settled into the Nursery so well. We love having him, he's such a happy boy.

Overall Experience

We've had a wonderful experience with Banana Moon nursery. The learning environment has been fantastic and our son has grown so much both academically and socially. All staff are friendly and attentive and always willing to support the children and their families. A special thank you to the room leader/deputy

manager, who has played such a big role in his development. Her warmth, patience and genuine care have made a huge difference. The nursery offers a great mix of learning and fun, and we're grateful for the nurturing environment they have provided for our son. The positive impact Banana Moon has had on his early years has been incredible - it has given him a strong, happy foundation as he prepares for school. Thank you!

Overall Experience

The team couldn't be anymore accommodating, they treat our son so good and he enjoys his two days there so much, he is progressing very well and we believe this is due to him doing well at nursery. They meet his diatry needs and we now stop worrying and stressing that he eats at nursery as he eats so

well there. The app they use is brilliant as we get to see how much he eats sleeps and enjoys every minute there. We couldn't be anymore happier to have our son at this nursery.
Well done to all the staff at banana moon.

Overall Experience

My daughter loves it there she is 16 months she is developing and learning new skills every week. Although she is only been there for 3 months only, she settled in straight away, She is absolutely looking forward to be there enjoying all the activities indoors and in the garden. she loves the food

and just waves bye to me every time. Any concerns/ questions I had have been dealt with by the management straight away, all staff are lovely and receptive. You can definitely find more cost efective alternatives however this nursery is worth every penny.

Overall Experience

My son has attended this nursery since he was 2 years old and I am astounded by the impact Banana Moon has had on him! He lives and breaths Banana moon, he adores the staff and constantly talks about his friends and his key person. We have discussions at home about planets, healthy eating and feelings,

all of which he has picked up from nursery. The activities and resources available have enabled his imagination to develop beyond any recommended expectations. We as parents are kept fully up to date with his development, through daily handovers, the brilliant app which is updated daily and termly parent evenings. The care and support from all the team is, simply, amazing.

Reply from Gary Chamberlain, Director at Banana Moon Day Nursery Billericay

Thank you. What a great review! I am so glad that your son is thriving at Banana Moon and you as parents can see that.

I couldn't recommend this Nursery enough. My daughter started in August last year. Since she started, we have noticed a lot of positive changes.
She is happier and more confident, and her hand-eye coordination has improved greatly, especially during eating time.
We appreciate everything you do for

her and just to say thank you!

My daughter has been going here for nearly a year and she loves it. The staff are all lovely and I've felt confident from day one leaving my daughter with them. If I ever have a question or want to know anything, I message on the app and get a reply almost instantly. The staff are brilliant with my

daughter and knowing what she needs. I love when she comes home with little paintings or arts and crafts pieces showing the new things she has learnt.

Overall Experience

My son has recently started the nursery and hasn't been too settled he isn't eating much and has had a few tears! However, the ladies know exactly what to do and are always thinking outside the box. Everyone's babies are different and all have their own little ways but the team seem to pick things up

very quickly, I know it won't be long until he is enjoying it! I would 100% recommend, they are all so friendly and have made the transition as easy as possible.

Overall Experience

We are newbies at Banana Moon Billericay, my son is approaching his 2nd full week with them, and I truly feel like I've known the staff for months! From the start, they've all been so friendly, accommodating and most importantly, caring. Throughout the day, the app is just so helpful and reassuring

for updates on what my son is up to, all the details are great and it just makes me feel a million times better about the whole "leaving him" situation. Nothing is ever too big or small ask for the ladies, two of the staff members are super approachable and helpful, they understand exactly what we, as mums/dads go through! Two other staff members are such sweethearts also, they treat the children like their own and I'm so thankful. It's a 10 out of 10 from me!
