Review from Elinor K (Mother of Child) published on 18 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
This nursery is great. My son easily settled in and the staff are just lovely, very hands on with the children and always keep us up to date with everything we need to know.

I was very anxious sending my boy to nursery as a first time Mum, but the regular staff at the Baby moons group are amazing. Kim, Joanna, Jordain, Nikki, Yasmin, Ameera and Connie, thank you :)

Review from Hinal v (Mother of Child) published on 5 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our daughters have attended this nursery since they were just 5 months old, and the positive impact it has had on their development has been incredible. Being in a social environment from such a young age has really helped them grow in confidence and form strong relationships with both staff and other children.
The nursery provides a good balance of structure and routine, while still allowing plenty of time for fun, creativity, and messy play-which our girls absolutely love. The staff do a good job of encouraging good manners and positive behaviour in a way that is both supportive and consistent.

We've also found their support with key milestones, like potty training, to be invaluable.

Review from S P (Mother of Child) published on 6 April 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Overall, we have had a positive experience with the nursery. The staff always seem dedicated to the care of all the children and communication is excellent.
Learning is an important aspect of their day however there isn't much variety in how they learn and especially what they learn- staff focus on developing one aspect at a time even though children can pick up multiple skills at their age.
Unfortunately, there isn't an even focus on holidays/cultural events. The children spent a few weeks celebrating Halloween and Christmas but there wasn't any mention of Ramadan or Eid for example.
The daily reporting is generally on the better side however there are days when the reporting falls far below acceptable levels and we don't know what the children have done that day or what they have eaten. The meals do seem enjoyable.

Cleanliness could be better in the baby room- shoes are allowed where the kids crawl and may be a contributor to the excessive illness and calls sending kids back home

Reply from Kimberly Tallis, Nursery Manager at Banana Moon Day Nursery Mere Green

Thank you for your review, we focus on all areas of a child's development not just one next step at a time however we do highlight one for you to support at home, we do try to focus on multiple learning opportunities throughout the day and we can feed this back to you if you ask going forward.

Overall Experience
The staff in the baby room at Mere Green are fantastic! They take the interests of each child to make their days special.
Our son is obsessed with toy trains and since he has been they have been using their set in the activities more often.

They have also gone above and beyond by printing of photos of trains planes and cars and laminated them for the kids to play with.

Overall Experience

My children have always had a very positive experience at banana moon. The staff have always been great with the kids, are very supportive and make them feel safe and welcome. They have a great range of activities to engage the children and they love the clubs they get in for the kids like Spanish and robot reg. The variation of meals is great and they have made the most of the outside space they have. My daughter loves it there and has come on so much in her social skills and confidence since starting.

Review from Andrea B (Mother of Child) published on 18 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We are very pleased with the care and support our daughter receives at Banana Moon. She has formed a special bond with her key person, Lucy, which has made a real difference to her confidence and sense of security. Lucy knows her well and supports her individual needs with genuine care. She is also very fond of Jenna and Charlie in the toddler room and it is reassuring to know there is always a familiar face present. This consistency has greatly supported her transition and ongoing development.
We really like being kept updated throughout the day through the app, with lots of photos and regular updates. It is lovely to see what she has been doing and feel connected to her day. There is always a good variety of creative, physical and educational activities available, it has been wonderful to see her confidence grow and her development progress so positively.

The staff and management are warm and professional, creating a welcoming and nurturing environment for children and parents.

Overall Experience
My son attended this nursery in 2021 - 2024 and I knew that my daughter would attend too. She is currently in baby room and the care has been exceptional. The staff in baby room, in particular Joanna is so attentive with her. I'm updated throughout the day with message updates too as she settles in.

I leave my daughter in confidence and thats the most I've wanted from a nursery!

Review from Atif I (Father of Child) published on 4 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We couldn't be happier with the care our daughter received at Banana Moon Nursery on Lichfield Road. The transition was tough at first, as she had trouble settling in due to separation anxiety and we had already tried few other nurseries prior to the Banana moon, but she didn't settle there.
All the staff were truly exceptional. Their friendly and patient approach made all the difference, and we really appreciated the option to stay with her initially for an hour or so to help her adjust and slow transition. She eventually settled in completely and absolutely loved her time there. We couldn't believe how much she loved going to the nursery and wanted to go every day. Her confidence grew, social interactions improved as well as her speech as there was some speech delay initially. Special mention to few of the staff members who were incredibly good in helping her settle- Sophie, Wendy, Nikki, Kim, kitchen Staff, but everyone was fantastic.

Highly recommended!

Overall Experience

The staff are supportive, friendly and build excellent connections with the children. There are lots of varied, exciting and interesting activities for the children to get involved with. The food offered is balanced and offers a range of cuisines for the children to explore. The outside space is limited due to geographical constraints but they make good use of what space there is and are always looking to improve facilities and equipment.

I chose banana moon as a nursery for my son when he was 1. He stayed there until he was 3.5. I couldn't recommend Banana Moon enough. The staff to child ratio is good and you get lots of updates on the app. The food is great and varied and always healthy and the children have healthy snacks throughout the day. There are lots of activities and external providers offering dance and sign and play includes included in the cost. I'm very glad we chose Banana Moon for nursery!

Review from Jessica S (Mother of Child) published on 10 July 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Banana Moon is the only childcare provider I would trust with my son. From the very beginning, the team have made both of us feel completely at ease. The staff are not only professional and experienced, but also genuinely kind, nurturing, and attentive to every child's individual needs.
My son has settled in beautifully and is always excited to go - which says everything. I'm constantly impressed by the range of activities, the thoughtful communication, and the safe, happy environment they've created.

As a parent, there's nothing more important than knowing your child is loved, safe, and thriving and Banana Moon gives me that peace of mind every single day. I'm so grateful to the whole team.

Review from Charu P (Mother of Child) published on 30 June 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

As a first time mom, the thought of leaving my 7.5 month-old in someone else's care was both emotional and nerve-wracking. Now, a month in, I can confidently say this nursery has been one of the best decisions. From the very first settle-in session, the staff were warm, patient, genuinely caring and incredibly supportive. They took the time to get to know my baby and made both of us feel completely at ease.

My baby settled in far quicker than I expected! The team is fantastic - attentive, nurturing, and always communicating with me. I receive regular photos and updates re his feeds, naps, activities throughout the day. Whether it's a picture of my baby during sensory play or a quick message letting me know he had a good nap, these thoughtful updates give me such peace of mind.

The team is not only professionally trained but also truly passionate about what they do. This has been so reassuring and made my return to work easier than I anticipated, knowing he's in such good hands.

My daughter is new to the nursery and had a few settle in sessions and seems to enjoy her time at nursery. This nursery was highly recommended by a few parents and I'm at ease when I drop my daughter off.

She's in good hands I know it's early days but so far so good the staff are warm and friendly, which gives me assurance.
