Overall Experience

Our daughter has been at Banana moon since she was 10 months old, she is currently 17 months and is happy to arrive at the gates each day. The staff are super friendly and caring, and she seems very comfortable with them all! She clearly has lots of fun doing various activities all day, has wonderful food, and is safe and nurtured. Thanks Banana moon!

Overall Experience
Kemi, GayAnn, Hawa and the team at Banana Moon has been incredible. We enrolled our 11month in July 2025 after we had a bad experience at another nursery. When we started at Banana Moon, they were incredibly attentive and took onboard all of our concerns and went above and beyond to help our baby, and us, settle in.
Our now 21 month old is thriving and so happy at the nursery. Not only do the team nurture his development, they're also invested in his happiness and overall wellbeing and you can see that in the day to day and how excited he gets upon drop offs and pick ups.
Banana Moon also go above and beyond for the parents, creating thoughtful workshops, conveniently hosted in short segments over lunchtime where we can dail in from work. They also host special events like Mother's Day events, Diwali, Valentine's Day etc for parents to get involved in.

The team have been fantastic and couldn't recommend Banana Moon enough.

Overall Experience

Our son has been at the nursery for 6 months now and we couldn't be happier with the experience. They were so understanding and supportive during the settling in stage and we continue to be impressed with all the amazing activities he does everyday there. His development has come on so much since he started there, he comes home with a new skill nearly every week. Most importantly it's obvious he's really happy there and has bonded with so many of the staff (he regularly sings their names on the way to nursery because he's so excited to see them!). I'm so glad we chose Banana Moon as our nursery.

Reply from Adekemi Bakare, Snior Manager at Banana Moon Day Nursery Nunhead
How cute! It's wonderful to hear how much your son loves our nursery- especially singing the team's names on the way in, that really made us smile :)

Thank you so much for sharing your feedback.

We have had a fantastic experience of banana moon baby and toddler rooms. They make SUCH an effort with the kids and the parents. The staff are fantastic and enthusiastic- the kids always look like they are having a lovely time. Excursions to the supermarket is a real touch. Our child loves the staff and has blossomed in their care.

The staff at Banana moon go above and beyond for both the children and the parents. They are true carers, and thanks to them, our daughter is settled, learning and growing so beautifully - and we, as first time parents, have survived a scary transition from home care to day care! Thanks to the entire team for your dedication.

Banana Moon is an amazing nursery, which feels like an extension of our family with our second child currently in mini moons. The staff are brilliant and in particular Kemi who cares deeply about the children, her team and the success of the nursery. Both my children love it and I have recommended this nursery to many friends who have also enrolled their children here.

Overall Experience

We have been absolutely delighted with our daughter's time at Banana Moon. From day one, the staff have made her feel so safe and loved - she genuinely looks forward to going each day.

The team all know her as an individual and the standard of care is consistently high. Communication with parents is great too - we always feel kept in the loop.

Our daughter is absolutely thriving - the activities are engaging and purposeful, and the food is healthy and varied. As parents it's exactly what you'd hope for.

We'd recommend Banana Moon without hesitation.

We could not be happier with Banana Moon Nunhead.
The facilities are great, but what really makes the difference is all the staff - I really can't speak more highly of them. Everyone is so nice, caring and dedicated to looking after the children and providing a great environment for them to develop.

Our son absolutely loves going there everyday, and the updates provided through the app let us see what a great time he's having!

Best nursery
If you're looking for a nursery where your child will be cherished, supported, and encouraged every single day - Banana moon is the place to send your children.

The environment is bright, clean, and full of joy - every corner is thoughtfully designed to spark curiosity and imagination. The activities are so well-planned and educational while still being so much fun that my child can't wait to go every morning!

Overall Experience
Staff - Our son settled in wonderfully at Banana Moon from 11 months old. He had 2 key carers who got to know him & cared for him with enthusiasm for his development and wellbeing. We especially appreciate Hawa & Nabila, who treated our son with warmth & motherly care. Kemi & Gay Anne are also visible & actively engaging with the children, which is lovely to see. Basel the director did the Father's Day BBQ.
Menu - The management seek input from parents when planning the menu & it's clear that suggestions are taken seriously. Meals are created with children's needs & preferences in mind.
Activities - There's a range of daily activities including storytelling, singing & messy play. A music specialist visits weekly, & the children enjoy outdoor play, painting & other creative experiences that support their development.
Trips - Our son has had the chance to go on monthly trips, including visits to the library, the zoo, a farm & nearby food markets.

Thanks all at Banana Moon!

Review from Melissa E (Mother of Child) published on 9 October 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I would give 10 stars if I could. Our daughter joined Banana Moon Nunhead when she turned 1. The way they took care of our daughter as if it was their own child has given us the reassurance we needed in times of peak worry, stress and guilt of leaving our baby in order to go back to work. Our daughter's speech, behavior and social skills have exponentially grown weeks after starting nursery. What makes this nursery the best is the people. The nursery staff, the cook, the music man have all left a truly incredible mark in our lives as parents and of course our daughter who only talks about all the activities they do together. She could not wait to go to nursery every single day.
As we are transitioning to the new site of Mini Moon, it is bittersweet to know we won't drop her off at St Mary's site where it all started for us. However, we know our big girl will be welcomed by wonderful, trustworthy people once again.

We cannot recommend this nursery enough!

Our son has been at Banana Moon for a couple of months now, and we really couldn't be happier. The staff are incredible, just so warm, friendly, kind and proactive - they always make a fuss of our son and he is happy to see them when we drop him off. His development has come on leaps and bounds, and we love that he's been able to go out on day trips.

Overall we had a very positive experience sending our son to Banana Moon. The staff are what make it - they are all extremely warm and get to know the children as individuals. They do a range of activities day to day, including messy plan and celebrating various events throughout the year. They spend time in the garden, especially when it's warm. Our son was very happy there and made lots of friends and was sad to leave.

Our daughter has been at Banana Moon over a year now having started when she was 8 months' old. The staff are incredibly warm and friendly and take a huge amount of trouble. I never felt worried leaving our daughter with them. Her key worker has been completely fab and overall we are really pleased with the service we have received.

Our daughter loves Banana Moon so much. First in the teenies site, and now in the full moons site. She has learned and developed so much, which has made the prospect of starting school easier to contemplate. And she has formed a great friendship group. She will soon be moving on and we will all miss the excellent staff who put on such great activities for the children.
