Banana Moon Hatton is different to other nurseries in the area. Situated in three converted barns in a rural location and set in 6.5 acres, including fields, a paddock, an orchard, a tennis court and a vegetable plot, there is plenty of outdoor space to run around and have fun.

The team provides a safe and caring environment for children aged 3 months to 5 years, and is open from 7.30 am to 6.30 pm for 51 weeks of the year.

Banana Moon is able to accommodate 110 full-time children and able to offer sessions from half a day a week to five days a week.

The nursery is very close to the major road networks – the A46 and M40, and only minutes away from both Warwick Parkway and Hatton train stations for trains to London.

CCTV is installed in all rooms and there is a biometric fingerprint entry system, ensuring the safety of the children. The nursery offers two home-cooked hot meals each day, cooked on site by the talented nursery chef.

Staff are very experienced in Early Years Education and offer a very loving, stimulating home from home, in the most beautiful setting - come and see for yourself and visit Banana Moon Hatton.

My daughter has attended Banana Moon since shortly after her first birthday, the staff are kind and caring and she has formed strong bonds with so many of them. She has just finished her time here ready to start preschool and we are very sad to say goodbye. The facilities and particularly the outdoor
space are brilliant and we wouldn't consider any other setting for our second born who we signed up as soon as I found out I was expecting!
Reply from Gemma Charles, Nursery Manager at Banana Moon Day Nursery Hatton (Warwick)Thank you so much for your lovely review. It's been an absolute pleasure to care for and nurture your daughter - we're so excited for your second born to start in the coming months.

Our son has been attending the under-2s room at this nursery for the past 7 months and we're really happy with the experience. The staff are warm, attentive, and genuinely care about the children. He always comes home smiling, and it's clear he enjoys the wide range of activities-especially Boogie Mites,
Tiny Toes Ballet, messy play, and all the lovely sensory experiences. The meals seem to go down well too! We love that they take the children outside to the lovely paddock whenever the weather allows. Parking can get a bit tight during parent or grandparent events, but it's a minor issue overall. Highly recommend.
Reply from Gemma Charles, Nursery Manager at Banana Moon Day Nursery Hatton (Warwick)Thank you for such a lovely review - we're so pleased that you are happy with Banana Moon Hatton.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Banana Moon Hatton is honestly the best and most nurturing nursery out little girl has been to (her third due to moving area)
We have seen such a change in her confidence, social skills, communication and overall well being. The team know her, they know what she loves what she's been up to what she
doesn't like and are so in tune with her needs. I honestly cannot thank them enough for the love and kindness they give to our little girl who is slow to warm but is thriving so much in this environment already. We were really nervous about her starting school due to her being a bit slow to warm but with the love, care and preparation for her to be school ready that the team at Banana Moon Hatton have done we and her are so confident.
We cannot thank you enough for looking after and helping our little girl to grow and thrive in such a supportive, fun, loving and happy environment
Reply from Gemma Charles, Nursery Manager at Banana Moon Day Nursery Hatton (Warwick)Wow! What an amazing review - thank you for taking the time to share this! We're so pleased with how well your daughter has settled, she is absolutely thriving and will be so missed when she transitions to school in September.

Banana Moon Hatton is an excellent nursery with fantastic resources, grounds and friendly staff.
When my son first started we were impressed with the settling in process meaning he settled quickly.
The staff plan fun and engaging activities, which change with the children's interests.
My son loves

My 18 month old loves Banana Moon and has settled in really well since he started 6 months ago. The staff are wonderful and very supportive. We get regular updates on the app and there is always a handover at the end of the day. The children spend so much time outside which is lovely! The paddock is
amazing. We are very happy we chose Banana Moon!

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Nice location and building with appropriate facilities. Recent staff changes and rotas have made feedback about my child's day variable as sometimes staff changeover/cover at midday means they are unfamiliar with what my child has been up to in the morning. The food is reasonable and varied though costs
have increased recently and no breakdown of these have been made available which has been frustrating given the increase.
Reply from Gemma Charles, Nursery Manager at Banana Moon Day Nursery Hatton (Warwick)Thank you for your review. We always value parental feedback and would welcome you into the office to discuss this further.

My 16 month old son is having a wonderful time at Banana Moon in Hatton. He settled in so quickly and has made great connections with not only his key worker but all the staff. The staff are so attentive and the activities each day are really varied with lots of time outdoors in the amazing woodland
and paddock area. The food is prepared by an onsite chef and they have dedicated sleep areas which is a big plus. I also love frequency of updates and photos on the app - it's great to see what he gets up to each day!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Banana Moon Nursery has an amazing atmosphere, all staff are genuinely happy and have lovely natures.
My daughter went to this nursery a few months after it opened and is now starting high school in September. There was no doubt that my son would attend the nursery 10 years later. There are some original
staff still working there now who can remember my daughter, which just shows how well the nursery is working.
It is a very outdoorsy and creative nursery and the children are very well looked after.
The children explore the paddock in all weathers and not kept indoors all the time.
The staff go above and beyond to celebrate all the key dates in the year, which is a nice touch.
I also like the food menu they provide for the children, no boring food and they are very happy to cater for food preferences/allergies etc.
Overall I’m very pleased with how my son is looked after and how the nursery runs.
Reply from Sophie Jackson, Manager at Banana Moon Day Nursery Hatton (Warwick)Thank you for your feedback. I can not believe she is starting secondary school in September! Thank you for trusting us with both of your children. Best wishes Sophie

We are so happy with Banana Moon in Hatton. I speak for both the nursery and the preschool. Our children started in September last year and were welcomed by everyone and settled really easily. The staff are so friendly and caring and they work so hard. Each child is given care and attention and treated
as an individual.
Our children participate in a wide range of activities including boogie mites (music session) painting, role play, reading, rugby, numeracy activities, P.E. and spending as much time as possible outside in the large paddock area.

Review from A N (Mother of Child) published on 15 March 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Banana Moon is a fantastic, homely nursery. The children are taken into the huge outdoor paddock every day come rain or shine - which we love!
Food is nearly all homemade and of good quality and much better than other nurseries menus.
The staff are overall very friendly, caring and kind-natured,
especially the staff that look after the children directly.
The nursery carers teach the children good manners but are gentle with their approach, which suits our parenting style, and they are really respectful of our wishes/requests and follow our lead if needed.
The inside is a little shabby in places (partly due to it just being an old building); however, the toys/facilities are very varied, which makes up for it.
Overall, we feel as though our little one is in great hands at Banana Moon!
Reply from Sophie Jackson, Manager at Banana Moon Day Nursery Hatton (Warwick)Thank you for your feedback; the staff team are truly wonderful and with the upcoming renovations you will see some improvements to the building. Best wishes.

Banana Moon Hatton is an outstanding nursery. The children have a brilliant time all day with great food and first-rate outdoor space. The staff always plan creative activities and know and support the children superbly. It's great to have access to so much outdoor space and have activities that families
can be a part of such as Father's Day breakfasts and Christmas performances.

My daughter is so incredibly happy here. She's really flourished in the care of all the Banana Moon staff and the wonderful activities she gets to be part of every day. They recognised she was a fast learner and immediately upped the challenge, working to keep her continually curious and independent.
Everyone is so knowledgeable, and we've been given great tips from toys to potty training. We love the app updates and the fact that they know her so well and enjoy spending time with her. We also love that we're often invited in for events such as Halloween and Mother's Day. Everything is so easy and transparent.
My husband and I genuinely cannot recommend this place enough.

My little boy loves Banana Moon Hatton so much! He participates in such a vast range of activities and is given so many opportunities to learn and grow through play. He adores his Key Person and knows lots of the staff around the nursery too! The paddock offers such a large space for the children to
play and explore, surrounded by farmland and animals. The staff are really friendly and welcoming and are informative about our child's day at pick up. We receive regular emails from the nursery keeping us up to date and in the loop with what is going on. Delicious meals are always on offer that our little one enjoys! (He eats better at nursery than at home!) Huge thank you to all the staff team who make nursery a wonderful experience!

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.941) out of 10 for Banana Moon Day Nursery Hatton (Warwick) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 34 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 34 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.941 for Banana Moon Day Nursery Hatton (Warwick) is calculated as follows: ( (387 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 408 Ratings = 4.941
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Banana Moon Day Nursery Hatton (Warwick) is based on 34 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 110 number of registered child places is 22, which has been reached with 34 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
