Amazing Nursery know my child better than me at times highly recommend any family to choose Banana Moon! Food is great and cater to all dietary needs of children. Always keep parents updated on how children are doing and we couldn't ask for more.
Thank you for taking the time to leave this 5 star review. It's so nice to hear how much you and your child are enjoying being part of our Banana Moon family. I'll be sure to pass your lovely comments on to the team.
I couldn't recommend this nursery more highly. My child has only recently just started there and loves her time there. The updates throughout the day are fantastic and they provide a variety of activities to keep them entertained and learning. The staff are fantastic and always seem like they look forward to my child coming into nursery which is great.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are so glad that your daughter is enjoying her time with us. I'll be sure to pass your comments on to the team.
We couldn't be happier with the nursery and the care our sons have received there. From day one, the staff have been incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely invested in each child's happiness and development. Our boys have absolutely loved their time there and always come home smiling, talking excitedly about their day. The environment is welcoming, nurturing, and full of engaging activities that have helped them grow in confidence and independence. Knowing they were safe, supported, and truly cared for gave us complete peace of mind. We're so grateful to the whole team and would highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a wonderful start for their children.
Thank you for leaving this review! We are so glad that both your boys are are enjoying their time with the wonderful team we have.
Our daughter joined the nursery at the beginning of January. She settled within a couple of weeks thanks to the amazing staff at banana moon. She really seems to be enjoying herself as the team keep her busy with lots of different activities.
That's great to hear. Thank you for taking the time to leave this review.
Thank you xx

We take pride in our parent partnerships and always want to support our families. Thank you again for the amazing feedback, and we wish your son, all the best for his next chapter.
Thank you banana moon
Thank you for your support and praise of our staff we are truly grateful. It is such a privilege to care, educate and support your daughter. We are always happy to support you and your family.
The leadership and day team at Banana Moon Billericay have gone above and beyond with the care for our children.
Flexible, caring, always making time to offering feedback and detailed reviews.
3 children have attended the nursery and all have such happy memories.
Hands-on on leadership that care and always take a call.
Great nursery and a great team!
What a fantastic review, we always support our families, and to be acknowledged in such a kind way is amazing. We, as the management team, feel thankful for the lovely feedback that has been shared.
Well done to all the staff at banana moon.
Thank you for leaving such a lovely review. I will be passing on these lovey messages to the team.
My son has attended this nursery since he was 2 years old and I am astounded by the impact Banana Moon has had on him! He lives and breaths Banana moon, he adores the staff and constantly talks about his friends and his key person. We have discussions at home about planets, healthy eating and feelings, all of which he has picked up from nursery. The activities and resources available have enabled his imagination to develop beyond any recommended expectations. We as parents are kept fully up to date with his development, through daily handovers, the brilliant app which is updated daily and termly parent evenings. The care and support from all the team is, simply, amazing.
Thank you. What a great review! I am so glad that your son is thriving at Banana Moon and you as parents can see that.
Myself and my partner have had no worries and the development we have seen is staggering.
The nursery feels like a lovely community, bringing parents together as well as giving amazing care to our children.
I can't recommend this nursery enough.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are very proud of our staff team, and it's so nice to get this feedback. I'll be sure to pass this on to them.
We are newbies at Banana Moon Billericay, my son is approaching his 2nd full week with them, and I truly feel like I've known the staff for months! From the start, they've all been so friendly, accommodating and most importantly, caring. Throughout the day, the app is just so helpful and reassuring for updates on what my son is up to, all the details are great and it just makes me feel a million times better about the whole "leaving him" situation. Nothing is ever too big or small ask for the ladies, two of the staff members are super approachable and helpful, they understand exactly what we, as mums/dads go through! Two other staff members are such sweethearts also, they treat the children like their own and I'm so thankful. It's a 10 out of 10 from me!
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. It's great to hear that your son has settled in so well. We are very proud of our staff team and it's so nice to hear it from a parent's point of view too. I'll be sure to pass your kind words on to them all.
Lovely nursery, my two children have been there since babies (my son is now 5.5) the ladies are lovely people, taking time out of their weekends to create beautiful sensory toys for the preschool room, and all of them are so kind and there's nothing they won't do to help develop and nurture our children. They've helped with potty training, fussy eating, etc. As well as preparing them for school helping with writing and number recognition. I would recommend them to anyone, thank you.
My little one has been there for over 1 year and a half now and I could not fault this daycare one bit! The ladies in there are absolutely amazing! They are supportive and so friendly with the children. Always walk away knowing my little one is safe and will have a fun packed day. Would recommend to any parent looking for a daycare for their little ones.
Thank you for your kind words we are always striving to support all of our families to make every experience special. We appreciate all of your feedback and it is a privilege to care for your precious little one.
As a first-time mum, I didn't have a clue what I was doing when picking a nursery for the first time. It's also scary looking for a nursery for your 9 month old and leaving them with complete stranger you don't know. I just went with my gut feeling and I am so happy I did! My daughter loves the environment, staff, food, and activities so much! The staff have treated us like we are part of their big family and I know that they care for my daughter like they would care for their own! Every day we are welcomed with open arms and we both feel safe in their hands. This review doesn't just apply to January 2025 but every month since we have been with them! Would highly recommend and they are always so accommodating!
Thank you so much for your amazing review. It is a joy to know your family feel happy and safe in our setting and lovely to hear that you feel part of our Banana Moon family. We try to support and accommodate every parent's individual needs and ensure that we support your precious little ones.
Such a lovely setting, the girls who work here are absolutely amazing and nothing is too much trouble! All 3 of my children absolutely love coming to nursery and always have an amazing time with the fantastic activities and day to day care they provide.
Thank you for taking the time to support us with your review. It is a joy to support your family as it grows and magical to support your family through these times. As a team, we are always thinking of innovative ways to create magical memories for each of the children through the activities. We appreciate your review and will continue to strive for excellent child care for each family.
My son started during the Covid year of 2020 and it has helped him so much. All the staff are super friendly, supportive and caring. My son has thrived at nursery which has led to our daughter joining him in 2022.
We cannot recommend Banana Moon more; it's fantastic.
Thank you for sharing such a lovely review, to watch your son grow, learning and graduate fills us with so much accomplishment. Kind regards, Banana Moon team.
My son loves the nursery, the videos and photos always show him enjoying himself. His key person is amazing and a real credit to Banana Moon. She always keeps us up to date with my son's welfare and progress.
We are thrilled to read such lovely comments. I will pass on your gratitude to the tea, who will be proud to read such lovely comments. Thank you for taking the time to write us such a lovely review.
Really happy with the activities, we have seen his development come along since he started. Love the food options and he loves everyone there! Good Job!
We are proud to receive such warm and kind comments regarding the nursery. I will share your comments with the team, especially with the kitchen team who work extremely hard to prepare healthy nutritious meals for the children. Thank you for taking the time to review the nursery.
The nursery has indoor and outdoor supervision during all seasons which he especially enjoys. The meals prepared are amazing and it definitely gets my child to eat a range of healthy foods and gain an understanding of portion control and when he is full. He has learnt so many things during his time at nursery and I’m so glad I chose Banana Moon. Thank you.
Thank you for leaving such a lovely comment. We do enjoy all seasonal weather. Children here love the great outdoor space, with a variety of activities. We will pass on the lovely comments about the food to our kitchen team- who will be thrilled to hear such lovely comments.
The app is great (although sometimes it does take a while for updates to appear).
My little one has allergies and severe eczema but I’ve never found this to be an issue. Banana Moon cater to him so well and really stick by what we ask.
We really picked the best nursery for our boy.
We are seeing growth in our little one since going to Banana Moon. It’s amazing what he’s learning and how they are helping his confidence.
Thank you for leaving such brilliant feedback. Thank you for the information regarding the app, we have been working on the app and getting information out to you as quickly as we can. We have even set alarms during the day to send them out more regularly. Our staff will be overjoyed to hear such fabulous feedback, thank you.

Meet the Team (12)
I have worked at Banana Moon since 2012, when the Billericay Nursery first opened. I hold a Diploma in Nursery Nursing, which I was awarded in 1999.
I am a proud mummy of two boys — they are my world! Both of my sons have attended Banana Moon, and my youngest still does.
Working with children is my true passion. I love nothing more than seeing them flourish, learn, develop, and grow over the years at Banana Moon. The children and families are at the heart of our nursery — we are not just a nursery, we are a part of your children’s extended family.
My role is to encourage children to follow their interests while supporting the staff to provide stimulating and engaging experiences that promote growth, curiosity, and joy every day.
I have been working in the childcare sector since 2006, gaining experience in a variety of roles with children aged 0–10 years.
I completed my Level 3 in Childcare Learning and Development in 2009 and earned a Certificate of Higher Education in Educational Studies in 2010.
I joined the Banana Moon family in October 2018 as Deputy Manager and have since supported our teams and families. From July 2020, I became the Nursery Manager. I am passionate about childcare and always try to see things from the child’s perspective, finding new ways to make learning fun and exciting. Our young children are our future, and it is our responsibility to inspire the next generation while delivering exceptionally high-quality care. Supporting my team to achieve this, and watching the children grow and learn, is the most rewarding part of working in Early Years education. At Banana Moon Billericay, we believe in giving every child equal opportunities to reach their full potential.
In my leisure time, I enjoy travelling with friends and family, going on days out, and exploring the outdoors on long walks.
I started my Banana Moon journey in 2024.
My name is Abigail, and I have been in child care for 12 years and part of the Banana Moon Family for the past three years. I enjoy creating new and fun activities for the children based on their current interests. I have a cheeky but cute little boy, who also attends Banana Moon.
My name is Emine, I am a room leader for the full moon's room. I have a level 3 qualification and over 14 years of childcare experience, within a nursery setting. I also hold a level 2 understanding of autism. I am married and have three wonderful grown-up boys.
In my spare time, I enjoy yoga, I play volleyball. I love reading books and spending quality time with family, friends, and my animals.
Hi, I am Eleanor. I am level 3 qualified and started back at Banana Moon in August 2025. I work full-time in the Teenie &Mini Moon Room.
I started my career working alongside a Nursery based inside the school. I worked there for two years. I decided that I wanted to expand my knowledge and work in a day nursery.
I enjoy spending time with my family.
Hi, I'm Yas. I'm level 3 qualified and have been working at Banana Moon since 2021. I like watching movies and spending time with my family. My favourite movies are anything Disney.
Hi, I am Zoe. I'm an NVQ level 2 & 3 nursery practitioner. I have worked in childcare for over 21 years. I have three wonderful children. We are an outdoor adventure-type family. We love spending time with family in our spare time.
Hi, I am Chloe. I joined the team in May 2023. I am level three qualified. I did my work experience at Banana Moon Billericay during my last year at school, back in 2015.
I worked at a few nurseries outside of the area but decided to come back closer to home. Now I am pregnant with my fourth child and looking forward to spending time with my family in December as a family of six.
In my spare time, I like going on natural walks and to adventure places for my boys to have fun experiences.
I have been the Chef at Banana Moon since 2018, and I’m proud that we prepare fresh, home-cooked meals on-site every day. One of the highlights of my job is when the children call my name across the gate, eager to find out what’s on the menu — it always makes me smile! Over the years, I’ve picked up plenty of nicknames, from Jimmy Jones to Jo Jo, and I love that the children feel comfortable and happy around me. Bringing a smile to their faces each day is the best part of what I do.
I have been a hairdresser for most of my career, but in May 2023 I decided it was time for a change and joined Banana Moon Billericay part-time. My daughter had worked here previously, and after hearing such lovely things about the company, I was excited to take on the opportunity when it arose.
Since joining, I’ve been lucky to work with a fantastic team. I always wear a smile, and one of my favourite parts of the day is when the children call through the gate to ask what’s for lunch — it never fails to make me happy! I also love supporting the children and am really looking forward to running cookery classes with them in the future.
Alongside my role here, I still continue with my hairdressing career, where I’ve had loyal clients for many years. Building relationships, communicating well, and making people feel happy are skills I value greatly and bring with me into everything I do.
I have been in child care for 2 years and started at Banana Moon Family in February 2026. I enjoy creating new and fun activities for the children based on their current interests. I am a talented singer and songwriter, and I can't wait to share my talent with the children.
