Overall Experience

Our child receives personalised care at Banana Moon Day Nursery Nunhead, has built strong attachments with his key persons, staff and new friends and has grown in his confidence through his experiences there. We have felt throughout the last 9 months that his needs are consistently met, that our concerns and wishes as parents are always listened to and responded to and we have had a positive transition from home care to nursery care thanks to this.

Review from Cherika B (Mother of Child) published on 17 May 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I recently decided to go forward with Banana Moon Day Nursery Nunhead from November 2020 to prepare myself for the back to work-life being a first-time mum to twins. From the very beginning, each and every staff member has been so kind and as helpful as possible even if they don't know the answers fully. My boys have now settled in months later of course and as soon as they get to the doors of the room they are allocated to there is nothing but smiles and giggles which to me shows that they enjoy their time at nursery. Not only that but we have noticed changes in them when they come home such as when they see a plate of food they sit down ready for their food or even giving you their arm when putting on their jackets and it's just proud moments to see.

Overall Experience

They were kind and caring with my daughter that had separation anxiety. She now dances her way in with little to no tears. She always comes out happy and talks about her day. I rarely have to feed her before bed as she had enough food whilst there.

Review from F C (Mother of Child) published on 3 July 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our son has been at Banana Moon for over a year since he was 5-months-old. He is so happy there and looks forward to each day. The level of care is excellent and he loves all the staff. They have adapted his learning experience so well to suit each stage and his speech and vocabulary is noticeably good. The team have been very good at flagging any concerns and exercise good judgement at all times.

It would be great to have an improved outside area but they have plans for this and are currently making the best of the space they have. We would highly recommend this nursery.

Overall Experience

My son has been attending the nursery for a few months now, I love how the staff are towards the children very caring and loving. Definitely a home from home experience. The staff are brilliant in terms of settling your nerves, as a first-time mum I was very anxious leaving my child at nursery, however, the ladies phoned me through the day to ensured that he was doing good.

Review from C H (Mother of Child) published on 3 July 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Both my son and daughter attend the nursery and they are very happy there. My son has been there for 2 and a half years and in that time has built very close relationships with the staff and other children, as have we as parents. They are very keen to involve parents in their child's learning journey as much as possible and always open to new suggestions. The love that the staff have for the children is very apparent and there is no doubt that the children are incredibly well cared for. I would definitely recommend this nursery to other parents and will be sad when the time comes for our children to move on from here.

My son has been at Banana Moon for several months and is happy. He has a tricky settling in period but staff were helpful and accommodating.

Children do a good range of activities and staff are warm and friendly towards them and to each other.

Review from Kersha C (Mother of Child) published on 13 November 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Recently the nursery has seen almost a complete turnover in staff. However, management ensured that there was very little effect on the running of the nursery and as a parent, I was kept informed of what was happening. Children seem happy and are eager to go in. My son had a delay in his speech and this was picked up by the new manager on the very first day! Picked up and referred immediately which I really appreciate. Staff are friendly and takes feedback on board.

Reply from Cynthia Brown-Charles, at Banana Moon Day Nursery Nunhead
Dear Kersha,
Thank you so much for your review. At the nursery, we work very closely together as a team.

We all want the very best for our children and we put the children's needs and welfare first at all times in the nursery.

Review from James (Father of Child) published on 1 October 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The staff at this nursery are so affectionate, sensitive and resilient when it comes to interacting with the children. Our children have learned a lot in the short space of time they have been there. They have a lot of outside space in which to stretch their legs and they are taken on outings in the local community. The new pre-school room is great too.
