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.

This nursery and ALL staff have been the most welcoming and allowed our child to settle in ever so well. I have been telling all my network of friends and family how absolutely brilliant this nursery is! Others have not been as lucky as us and were unable to get their children in as Hatton is full -
I’m not surprised - best decision we made was to send our little one here!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Banana Moon Hatton has exceeded our expectations completely. Our son started there at 15 months (now 3 1/2) and absolutely loves going there. All the staff are really friendly and seem to know all the children. They go outside every day which is brilliant and do lots of activities in the room which
I know has allowed our son's confidence and abilities to develop and grow so much. The food is all cooked fresh and the menu is really varied and sounds lovely. The most important thing for us is that every day our son comes home saying he's had lots of fun. We couldn't be happier with this nursery and completely recommend it to everyone.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
As soon as we walked into this wonderful nursery, we knew our little boy would be so happy here. Everyone is always smiling and the children are so happy. Every staff member knows the name of every child and it feels more like a family than a nursery. The food is fantastic and there is always lots going
on to include the families in nursery life. The difference in our little boy's confidence over the last year is incredible and this is mainly down to the wonderful, caring people who work so hard to make this nursery the place it is. We will be so sad when it is time to move on and say goodbye to this very special nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son attended Banana Moon Hatton for 3 years. He loved every minute of it and still talks about nursery a lot, even though he is now at school. We owe so much to the staff team and the fantastic opportunities they gave him. Because of the team and their care, they've helped us to raise a very confident,
happy and inquisitive boy. My son made many friends at nursery and still remembers all of his key-workers and the rest of the staff team fondly, they were like his second family. The facilities at Banana Moon are excellent; the paddock is such a fantastic space for the children to learn and to be outside. We loved the time our son spent at Banana Moon and are so grateful for everything they have done, it really is a fantastic place!

My daughter went to this nursery from the age of one and recently went onto school. She has had an amazing start at Banana Moon Day Nursery Hatton and we were sad to leave! But are very excited to be going back with our second daughter this year!
The nursery is not only a wonderful place for our child
to grow, they have been like a second family to my daughter and us parents! It’s a very special nursery, this is due to the staff that are welcoming and caring, the activities and the environment where they play is super with an outside paddock where they can run around and enjoy being outdoors and the food is great!

My daughter started at Banana Moon Day Nursery Hatton when she was just 8 months. When she left at 3 years old she had turned into a confident, happy and secure little girl. Our family shared every milestone with the wonderful staff (who became more like family friends). Their care was everything I
could have hoped for when I went back to work full time.

I could not recommend this nursery enough. We have received such a warm welcome and I feel very content leaving my little one in the safe and friendly hands of all the lovely staff that work there. The owner is extremely hands-on and the employees should be very proud of the work they do! The environment
is perfect with a lovely outdoor space for plenty of fresh air fun. The facilities are fantastic and the pre-school space is always very welcoming. The staff are just super and my little one adores them!

Fantastic nursery, my daughter has been here since 2015 and is now in the preschool. The facilities are great, with a paddock outside to play in, lots of engaging activities for her and the nursery staff are all fantastic. She does rugby, dance and Forrest Schools. The food is nutritious and good quality
(and the variety means she often eats better than we do!). My daughter loves going here, and I’m very happy that she is safe and contented. Highly recommended.

Our daughter has been at the nursery from 10 months old and now our son has just started at 9 months. They both love it! The staff are so caring and treat all the children as family. I’m always amazed by how much they do during their day and how much they develop each week.

Banana Moon is an outstanding nursery which helps develop children in a safe, loving and fun environment. Having already had one son go from 9 months old all the way through preschool, we were so impressed we made the decision to send our youngest who absolutely, loves it here as well. Our eldest made
so many friends during his time at Banana Moon, many of which we are still in contact with, and our youngest who is now at the nursery absolutely loves it. Both our children adore the director and her team and we are always made to feel welcome whenever we step foot through the door. All in all, it is an amazing place where everyone feels almost like family!

I now have 2 children at Banana Moon Hatton and they both love it. It is so friendly, all the staff seem to know all the children which I find incredible and I can see the girls flourishing in their care. The office also has an open door policy and I really feel like I can go in at any time to talk
to them about anything, which I often do! I have recommended this nursery to several friends and will continue to do so.

Banana Moon is the most fantastic nursery! Both of our children have been extremely happy here and both thrived. The staff are attentive, caring and professional. The food provided is excellent. The extra activities on offer are brilliant. We are so happy our children are happy at nursery which allows
us to feel at ease when we drop them off for the day. The cherry on the cake is the awesome outdoor space. You will be hard pushed to find another nursery with this on offer!

Absolutely fabulous nursery. My little boy has been in this nursery since 9 months old and is in his final year (pre-school). Feel lucky to have discovered Banana Moon Hatton. It is run to exceptionally high standards, the staff are brilliant and the buildings and outdoor space are second to none.

The whole team is amazing and do an amazing job at caring for the children. They know each child so well and the parent partnership is incredible.
The nursery is in such a lovely part of the countryside and you can see for miles in their huge outdoor paddock.
Our daughter thrives at nursery and has
learnt so much.
We cannot thank the team enough for their compassion and knowledge.

Staff at Banana Moon Day Nursery Hatton are fantastic. My son has attended since he was seven months old and his development has thrived. They always have a variety of fun activities and excellent meals which parents are always informed of prior to the week via social media. I am always comfortable
leaving my son here and he loves it - I wouldn't want to put him in any other nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.883)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.883) 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 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.883 for Banana Moon Day Nursery Hatton (Warwick) is calculated as follows: ( (270 Excellents x 5) + (25 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 300 Ratings = 4.883
  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 25 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 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 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 25 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.
