Review from Katie (Mother of Child) published on 5 December 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter absolutely loves Banana Moon! All the ladies are so kind, friendly and always greet my daughter with a smile. I have never had any problems sending her and she is full of chatter when picked up about all the things she has done during the day. The team have really helped her to settle in and make friends and also get her ready to start school next year. I feel much more confident that she will do really well when she leaves for reception. Banana Moon ladies, you will be sorely missed next September by us both! Cannot recommend this lovely nursery enough to people!

Review from David A (Father of Child) published on 5 December 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I've been extremely happy with Banana Moon. The staff and set up are fantastic, both of my children started their playful learning journey there and both loved and love it. They learned to play share and care and both progressed massively in their getting along with other children and performing new tasks as the staff keep you up to date with where they are in terms of learning and how we could go about setting up the next learning steps.
Such an awesome nursery, highly recommend it to anyone.

My kids are my treasure and I feel so at ease leaving them with the Banana Moon staff. They help my little stars shine even brighter.

Review from Sarah (Mother of Child) published on 5 December 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
What can I say? Our little boy loves this setting and is always so pleased to arrive for the day. He has made some amazing attachments to key members of staff and he is starting to develop relationships with other children. He has so much confidence (possibly too much at times!), his development is spot on and is simply flourishing in no small part due to Banana Moon.

The staff are always very approachable and genuinely know my little boy so well. They provide lots of fun activities and amazing meal choices. Put simply, Banana Moon takes away some of the guilt of having to be a working mummy, knowing that he is receiving care that is second to none! Thank you!

Reply from Riann Parker, at Banana Moon Day Nursery Baddesley Ensor

We really do care about all of the children in our care and it's wonderful to know this is recognised by parents, thank you for your comments.

Overall Experience

I love this nursery my daughter was originally at another nursery between 6 months and 2 years and I am delighted at how much better Banana Moon is. The staff are friendly and love the children, they are always being creative and learning, making cakes and have lovely hot dinners. They encourage teeth brushing and toilet training and I love the fact they can play outside in the garden and go for walks to the local park. Oh, and the communications and billing is really good too. My daughter loves it and has settled in well would never change nursery again and dread the day she leaves for big school. 100% recommended.

Review from Catherine W (Mother of Child) published on 13 August 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I am writing this review based across the almost 4 years my child has attended this nursery.
Throughout my child’s time at this nursery, she has formed close bonds with all staff that she has come into contact with. All staff make a great deal of effort to get to know your child and each have been caring and supportive.
As well as learning many literacy and nuemeracy skills, the nursery also explores interesting and exciting topics! She has also been taken out many times around the local area. There is always lots of lovely work coming home; you can see that lots of thought and planning has gone into this by staff. Communication with parents is outstanding. All members of staff will make time to speak to you and quickly respond to any queries; there are also parents evenings, newsletters, Facebook updates and parent-invited stay and play sessions.

Personally, I feel this setting has given my child a great head start for primary school and I couldn’t be any happier with her progress.

Many thanks for your lovely comments Catherine.... we love what we do and its reviews like this that make it all worthwhile!

Overall Experience
My son attended Nursery here from 6 months until he started school last September. It was like his second home and the staff were great, I felt confident leaving the most important person in our lives with them.
He was always very happy there.
Most recently he attended the holiday club and again he had a great time.

I would certainly recommend anyone to try this setting.

My daughter loves attending this nursery. It is a small nursery and that suits her. All the staff are caring and approachable.
My daughter has learned a great deal and can write her name, knows all of her letters and can count to a high number, all before she starts school.
Her social skills have improved and she has a good group of friends.

I would recommend Banana Moon to any parent.

Absolutely brilliant nursery. The staff are lovely and my son loves going. Couldn't fault the nursery in any way! They provide 7.30am starts which help a lot for working parents. All food is healthy (and tasty) and home made and good quality meals.

Overall Experience
I have been so pleased with the nursery, my daughter has settled in so well. During the first few weeks when she was upset when I left she was comforted and looked after so well, which made me feel much better knowing she was being cared for as I would if she was upset.
She goes in now without even looking back at me and really looks forward to attending.
The staff are lovely and the food is excellent.

Thank you so much.

Reply from Riann Parker, Director at Banana Moon Day Nursery Baddesley Ensor

Thanks for your kind comments. So glad that your daughter settled in well and has built some strong relationships with the team .... we work hard on the recruitment of the right people and it's great when parents recognise them. Thanks again!

Review from Carly B (Mother of Child) published on 22 February 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

my daughter started at Banana Moon in September 2016 aged 9 months. She settled in so well and quickly, and I feel the nursery has really helped her. Her speech has come along leaps and bounds and she now loves going and waves me goodbye when I drop her off. She eats good healthy meals which she loves and has made little friends there that she enjoys seeing every day. The staff are all lovely and always acknowledge her by name every morning which I love that they all know who she is. Very clean and well kept, all the children are friendly and welcoming- a reflection on the nursery. My daughter always brings home paintings she has made, which is lovely too and is often outside playing with other children which she loves. I would 100% recommend this nursery to any parents, I feel at ease dropping my daughter off here, and believe she is very well cared for. Brilliant nursery and will keep her there until school age. Would take any other children I may have to this nursery too. Love it!

Banana Moon offers excellent childcare within a cosy setting. Our son has attended since he was 11 months old and has flourished. Our son's knowledge amazed us and we attribute this to the learning at Banana Moon. The staff are excellent and they forge great relationships with the children.

Our son joined Banana Moon last year and since then he has grown in confidence, learning to become more independent and now has moved to pre school where he is learning even more.

We are very pleased with the care our son receives and would definitely recommend the nursery to anyone.

The staff are always approachable, very supportive and we are looking forward to our first parents evening very soon.

My daughter loves to attend Banana Moon nursery in Baddesley Ensor. It is a lovely setting, the facilities are good and all of the staff are great. The home cooked meals are always popular with the children. My daughter is due to leave in August, ready for starting school in September and I will definitely be sending my son there when my maternity leave finishes.

My daughter has absolutely thrived at Banana Moon. She really enjoys going and has a fantastic relationship with her key worker. As a parent you are kept fully informed about what your child has done each day and you have the opportunity to speak to your child's key worker at a parents evening to discuss their development.
