Review of Banana Moon Day Nursery Hamilton from K A (Mother of Child) published on 14 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter absolutely loves attending Banana Moon and is always excited to go in each day. The staff consistently meet her needs and go above and beyond to support her development and milestones, creating a nurturing and engaging environment where she can truly thrive. The management team are fantastic-always approachable, professional, and incredibly supportive of both parents and children, which gives real peace of mind.
It's clear how much thought and care goes into planning experiences that support every area of her development. Communication is excellent, and I'm always kept up to date with her progress, daily activities, and achievements

The four-week menu is also brilliant, offering a great variety of nutritious meals and introducing her to new foods in fun and creative ways.

Reply from Gemma McCree, Nursery Manager at Banana Moon Day Nursery Hamilton

Thank you so much for your lovely review of our wonderful nursery. We are so pleased you decided to bring your daughter here and join our Banana Monn family. We cannot wait to watch her grow and develop during her time with us.

Review of Banana Moon Day Nursery Hamilton from T G (Mother of Child) published on 27 April 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son moved nurseries back in October 2025 as we moved into the area. The nursery team are absolutely brilliant with my son, right from when we viewed the nursery till now. It was a hard transition adjusting to a different nursery, new house and a new addition to the family. I love how Gemma arranges all these stay and plays every so often, which is a nice way of getting parents involved.
I think the food menu is great! My sons previous nursery would give the kids the same snacks everyday and whereas banana moon provide a variety of snacks.

Everyone is so friendly at the nursery! I would recommend this nursery to anyone looking for excellent teaching, care and service.

Review of Banana Moon Day Nursery Hamilton from C M (Father of Child) published on 5 February 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

I am really happy with Banana Moon Nursery, Hamilton. Since my son has started, his development and curiosity has increased. He is playing more on his own and has started to eat by himself as well. He likes the staff and always looks forward to going in the morning. He really enjoys the food they prepare for him.

Review of Banana Moon Day Nursery Hamilton from D S (Grandfather of Child) published on 16 October 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

As a grandfather, I am deeply concerned about the poor hygiene standards I've witnessed at this nursery. I've seen children with runny noses and dirty hands being left without support from staff, which raises serious concerns about infection control. On one occasion, my grandchild came home with food-stained hands, suggesting they weren't encouraged or helped to wash after eating - a basic but essential part of care. These are not minor oversights, but repeated lapses in cleanliness and attention. We raised our concerns directly and received written acknowledgment and an apology from the nursery, confirming the issues were valid. While we appreciate the response, it doesn't undo the worry these incidents have caused. Urgent improvements are needed to ensure a clean, safe environment where children are properly cared for and basic hygiene is prioritised.

Reply from Amy Carter, Area Nursery Manager at Banana Moon Day Nursery Hamilton

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We understand how important hygiene and cleanliness are to all families, and we want to reassure parents that these remain key priorities at Banana Moon Hamilton.

We are committed to maintaining high standards of care and cleanliness throughout our nursery....

Review of Banana Moon Day Nursery Hamilton from Kersha E (Mother of Child) published on 6 October 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter started here in April 2025, since then I have noticed how much she has progressed with her communication skills and sharing skills. The staff have been amazing and very helpful with her settling in as she still gets upset at drop off. They have always met her needs and encouraged her to do new things and make friends with the other children. Since starting the nursery my daughter has tried so many new foods and fruits which she has now took a liking too and asks for them at home.

Both of our grandchildren have attended this nursery, our eldest for 3 years before starting school, and now our youngest since January. They've both been so happy and well cared for, and we love the updates and photos on the app. We couldn't have wished for a better start for them both!

Review of Banana Moon Day Nursery Hamilton from T S (Mother of Child) published on 27 August 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I'm not too sure if you are aware, but the NHS allergy service waiting lists are extremely long, which is exactly why many parents, including ourselves, choose to go privately. We provided you with a written allergy plan from a private consultant, the Doctor, a recognised allergy specialist. To claim you did not receive an allergy plan from the NHS is misleading, irrelevant and frankly insulting - an allergy plan is valid medical documentation, whether it comes via the NHS or a private specialist.
What's more concerning is your version of events. You state that medication was given "without delay" when we actually sat in your office and watched the CCTV footage which clearly showed it took over 4 minutes before any medication was administered to our daughter during a serious allergic reaction. That is an unacceptable delay in an emergency situation where every second counts.

Let's also not forget that you yourselves have admitted fault.

Review of Banana Moon Day Nursery Hamilton from A S (Father of Child) published on 5 August 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our child's life was put at risk at Banana Moon Hamilton due to repeated failures to follow clear medical instructions regarding a severe allergy. Despite providing documented evidence from a leading consultant, staff still gave the known allergen on multiple occasions. During a serious reaction, our child was left sitting in vomit and staff delayed administering the prescribed medication for over 4 minutes. This level of neglect is deeply unsafe.
We have reported this to Ofsted and Leicester's LADO service. Worryingly, this nursery has a history of concerns around food and drink, which are noted in official Ofsted reports. We have also shared our experience publicly through a local newspaper article to raise awareness and protect others.

We strongly urge all parents to think very carefully before considering this nursery.

Reply from Amy Carter, Nursery Manager at Banana Moon Day Nursery Hamilton

We appreciate you taking the time to leave this review and would like to provide some context. The child did experience an allergic reaction while at nursery and was attended to immediately, with a staff member by her side throughout. Medication was given without delay, and the reaction was...
