Day Nurseries Owned by Banana Moon Day Nurseries in Tyne & Wear

At first, I wasn't sure about choosing a nursery without a large number of reviews, as reviews can feel so important when making a decision about your child. However, I quickly realised that every child is different, and what works for one may not work for another.

My daughter learns and develops best in a smaller group with fewer distractions, so Banana Moon has been a perfect fit for her. I've noticed a real difference in her confidence, focus and development since starting.

The nursery is also spotlessly clean. As soon as you walk through the door, you can genuinely smell how fresh and clean it is, which is so reassuring as a parent.

I'm really happy with our decision to choose Banana Moon. It's not about how many reviews a nursery has, but finding the right environment for your individual child.

Brillant nursery my son has been going from being 8 months and he loves it, they have learnt him so much xx lovely staff he has made so many friends and loves going in with no issues at all. Going to nursery has brought my son on so much his talking his development and his learning they go above and beyond for all the children that attend here and all the staff are so lovely

My son and daughter loves coming to the nursery, everyone (teachers, chef, pupils) all make it a beautiful experience for them and for me as well. Thank you for your excellent service. My daughter Eri is going to miss you all.

My son started attending Banana Moon nursery in January 2026 and his speech and language has become so much better. He has developed so much. The staff treat him like he is family and that is amazing to see.

Fantastic nursery with great learning spaces! Staff are brilliant with my daughter and have really helped her transition to nursery life. She loves her role at nursery and is making great progress thanks to the staff.

Our son had a wobbly start to childcare with a bad experience of a childminder - I mention this only because I was trying to work out if we sold the house if I could afford to quit my job (we can't!). I really didn't want to leave him again ever, so I was on high alert with nurseries.

Banana Moon had a space last minute after Christmas so I read all the reviews I could find and on the tour the atmosphere was nice so I felt a bit better, but now he's started I know it's great! The ladies in the Baby Moons room are all amazing, so patient and they knew him really well within two weeks. I'm so happy with the progress in speech and understanding that he's made since starting and I can see from the frequent updates and watching them interact with him before I go into the room how much they care for him.

Special shout out for the food, I have to pick him up after mealtimes because he cries if he misses out!

My little girl has been sooo happy and advanced incredibly since she started at moon day nursery, and the staffs are absolutely amazing and lovely and I know my little girl is in good hands l. Thanks for the work youse do xx

We couldn't recommend this nursery high enough! As a mother who was really nervous to send her daughter to nursery, I am thrilled with the care she is receiving. She settled in so quickly and loves going. The staff are a credit to the place, they are always so warm and welcoming and really make the place have a personal and family atmosphere. I have been really impressed by the facilities and the varied activities that our daughter has taken part in. She has learnt so much and I'm so grateful that we found such a wonderful nursery for our daughter to attend.

My son has been attending Banana Moon Sunderland for almost a year now and he thoroughly enjoys his days here. The staff member always make me feel at ease leaving my child in their care. He has developed massively since attending. Thanks so much!

Amazing care and support for my son. He took sometime to adjust but has come on leaps + bounds. Highly recommend the nursery to friends and family.

We love Banana Moon for our baby, they persevered so much in the beginning which was a tough start for our little one. She's now much more comfortable and making it through full days. Her key workers are fantastic and she already has an attachment to them. Her diet at nursery is brilliant and I'm always getting updates that she's eaten plenty which is reassuring. Looking forward to seeing how much she progresses over time. So far so good!

My daughter loves meal times at nursery and is thriving!

I would happily recommend the nursery to family and friends.

Our little one was the first boy in the nursery and he settled in quite well. The nursery manager and staff work with you to settle your child and are always there if you have any ideas, concerns or queries. Our little boy absolutely loves going to the nursery and calls it his baby school. He is always happy going and coming out of the nursery which is always a great sign. We cannot thank the nursery staff/management enough. 5 staff members in particular are all ever so lovely. All the equipment is new and the setup is so nice. Plenty of educational and sensory toys to play with. They have indoor sandpit and slide for the little ones as well. The wooden equipment is unique that you wouldn't have seen in any other nursery. We'll be sending our daughter to the nursery too when she is 9 months old.

My child has settled really well into nursery life. The children have a good routine and a well balanced menu. Learning is tailored to each individual child. Staff always have time to chat about my child. We took a long time to find to find a nursery we felt met our needs and we are very happy.

My son has come on with his social skill very well and has settled in great with the teachers and no longer cries when being left after such a short time. Being in nursery also has started to be more verbal and understands orders.

As first time parents of a toddler in nursery, this nursery has helped us to ease well into this journey. The staff have been helpful. The nursery has modern facilities. Our toddler has settled in well and is now more comfortable with staff members and the nursery in general. We get regular review of our toddlers activities. Banana Moon Day Nursery Sunderland is highly recommended.
