I cannot praise the staff enough, they are very caring and gentle with baby. My daughter B loves going to every morning, she names her teachers frequently at home. Often when I pick her up she wants to show me things in her room that she has been playing with. She also has learnt at a quick pace thanks to their organised learning plan, she is very little but already has good vocabulary in English thanks to them.
They have an app that shows their daily activities, updates, pictures, meals and nappies.
They offer individualised approach. My daughter has started Potty training and they have been very helpful to help her continue what we do at home.
I cannot thank the teachers enough to the teachers for their loving care to ANITA, MAHIA, TIGER, NIFLA, KATE, THANK YOU ALL!
Thank you so much for your lovely review ! We are over the moon that your child loves coming to Banana Moon and that our team are helping her grow so well. We will be sure to pass on your kind message to the team.
The best part is how excited my daughter is to go every day. She knows all her teachers by name and they truly feel like family to her. She enjoys the food (she talks about it at home!) and has already learned to read and write at her preschool level.
A wonderful team doing a fantastic job - thank you!
We thank you for your kind review- we're delighted to hear your daughter enjoys coming to Banana Moon. We will make sure to pass on your wonderful review to our team.
One thing we really appreciate is how spacious and well-organised the baby room is. It's not something you often find, and it makes such a difference. There's plenty of room for the little ones to explore, play and move around safely without feeling crowded.
From the very beginning, they made our son feel safe and welcomed.
He is always excited and happy to go in each day, which really shows the nurturing environment they create.
What truly stands out is how kind and warm the team are - they are always smiling and welcoming, even at the end of what must be a very busy and demanding day. Their positive energy and genuine care never seem to fade, and that means so much to us as parents.
We are so grateful to have found such a wonderful nursery and couldn't recommend it more highly.
We thank you for your wonderful review, we're over the moon that your little one feels safe and welcome! Thank you for your kind recommendation.
My daughter has recently joined banana moon. Along with her brother who's been there nearly 2 years. She's 16 months and born with a rare condition which affects her feeding. The nursery and all the staff have been very accommodating and understanding. They have really taken care of her and followed through what exact care she needs. They have great facilities and education strategies for the children and staff are fantastic. I have never had a bad word to say about Banana moon they have been outstanding.
We are so delighted to hear about your experience at the nursery. We're thrilled to hear your little ones are happy ; we will pass your kind message on to our team!
She likes the animal day and the garden. She also loves the food.
Big Thank you to all of you Nifla, Kate, Maya, Anita, Tiger!
We thank you for your wonderful recommendation- we will make sure to pass on your lovely review to our team !
Both of them love(d) going each day and it really set them up for the next step in their education.
Excellent range of facilities and activities, including a number of educational external provider visits. I couldn't be happier.
Thank you Banana Moon and of course the staff!
We're delighted to hear about your wonderful experience at Banana Moon! The team thank you for your generous review.
They have a variety of activities and I can see my daughter learning and growing rapidly.
I trust the staff with her wellbeing and education. I highly recommend this nursery to other parents.
We're delighted to hear that your daughter enjoys coming to nursery. We thank you for your wonderful review and recommendation!
In Teenie Moons, she had lots of sensory play, a safe space to crawl and explore, and structured activities to support her movement and vocabulary development. She was well cared for, and I could see the team bonding with her and understanding her needs.
Now, in Minnie Moons, she's thriving, gaining confidence and independence. The team offers stimulating activities that expand her understanding of the world and grow her vocabulary. She also enjoys messy play, which is great as it saves us doing it at home! I like they have a focus on outdoor time, and that she is so happy there some days she doesn't want to leave! We're very happy with her care, and all the staff are friendly and capable. I would (and have!) recommended Banana Moon to others.
It has been our pleasure to watch your daughter grow and develop with us from such a young age. She is a wonderful girl! Thank you for choosing us to be a part of your child's learning and development!
The blend of structured activities and creative play keeps her excited to learn, and I love hearing about her day when she comes home. Communication is excellent, and I feel truly involved in her progress.
Thank you so much for your positive feedback! Having your daughter as part of our nursery has been an absolute delight. It has been lovely to be such a big part of her learning and development over the years!
Settling somewhere new can be really difficult, but the staff spent lots of time reassuring, cuddling and bringing him out of himself.
The staff are so kind, and because it is a small nursery, my son and I know all the staff and lots of the children across the different rooms and feel really at home and a part of the nursery community. I think this will really help him transition smoothly to his next room.
I love the special events the nursery has, especially when a company come to visit with animals for the children to see and engage with.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Banana Moon to anyone starting or continuing childcare.
Thank you so much for your kind feedback. We love having your son as part of our nursery. He has settled in so well and we cannot wait to see how he continues to develop!
My child is so happy at the nursery. The staff always make sure he is happy and they guide him with all of his milestones. He often talks about his happy experiences with his brother at home. Thank you for all of your support.
Thank you for the lovely review, that is so nice to hear that he speaks about nursery at home.
It took my daughter a little while to adjust when she first started, to a new surrounding and new people. However, the staff have been brilliant with helping her settle in and she enjoys it so much.
Thank you for your lovely review. We are so pleased to see how well your daughter has settled in the nursery and enjoys her time around the other children and staff!
My daughter has been attending Banana Moon since she was 10 months old and within the space of three to four months she has progressed so amazingly. The staff here are always so welcoming and lovely towards myself and the children. Looking forward to spending the next few years with them all and seeing my daughter progress even more!
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback, we have loved watching her grow and develop in the time she has been with us!
Our son has been attending Banana Moon Day Nursery for a couple of months now. The standard of care is excellent and the staff are incredible - fun and caring. The app allows us to see loads of highlights of our son's day and we can see how much nursery has helped his development even in such a short time.
Thank you so much for your review. We are so glad you like our app and your son is so settled.
I am very happy with our choice of nursery, the staff are all very caring and professional. I have seen my daughter's confidence grow so much since she has been at Banana Moon, she is always talking about the activities she has taken part in, the staff and all of the friends she has made. My daughter is always so happy to come in to nursery. The nursery is always so clean and tidy.
Thank you for taking the time to write this lovely review.
I could not be happier with my choice of nursery for my 14-month-old daughter. The premises are clean, bright and airy. There is outdoor space which is securely fenced in. The children do appropriate and fun activities every day. The staff are all wonderful and it is clear to see how dedicated they are to the children. My daughter loves all the staff she spends time with at the nursery and they always greet the parents with a smile and a full debrief on how the day has gone. The food looks and smells delicious. I like the app and look forward to receiving updates and photos at the end of each day. The fees are the most reasonable I have come across in the area (although you provide your own wipes and nappies - which still works out less expensive than other places). Overall it has been a really positive experience to send my daughter to this nursery which has made the transition much smoother for us as a family. Thank you.
Thank you for you lovey review, we are so glad you love the nursery.
Our son loves going to nursery at Banana Moon. We have found that his development has come on leaps and bounds since starting at nursery 2 days per week. He regularly comes back with new words he has learned and we can see the difference in the way that he interacts and plays, which is great to see!
Thank you for your wonderful review! We are glad your child is learning new things!
The staff have been amazing. They are very caring and very welcoming. The Nursery is fantastic, it's so spacious for young children. During the time that my child has been at this pre-school, he has learnt a lot and beaming with confidence.
Thank you for your lovely review! We are glad your child has learnt a lot and built their confidence since starting nursery.
This is the first nursery my daughter is going to, and she is almost 4. She started about a month back, and she had a hard time starting the nursery, given that she was at home with me for four years. The management and all the staff were super helpful in settling her and giving her comfort. Everyone was super helpful and understanding during a hard time. She is now more than happy to go there every day, and I'm delighted to send her to Banana Moon since I'm sure she is in good hands.
Thanks so much, it is a pleasure looking after your daughter.
Wonderful nursery. Amazing, attentive teachers. My son is excited to go to school every day! Teachers wonderful at communicating my son’s experience at school and any needs. Very flexible and open communication.
