Review from Mandy D (Mother of Child) published on 11 October 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Banana Moon Stoke Poges is the most excellent nursery in the area. My little girl loved it for the 3 years she was there and now my little boy has just started at the age of one. I cannot fault them and led by the manager (you will not meet a nursery manager like her), the team excels in all areas. They have made me feel so comfortable and settled us both in! The opportunities are amazing from wild fangs to the sensory room.

Overall Experience

Our little girl has been coming to Banana Moon since she was about 7 months old, and will soon be departing to the next step in her educational journey. Banana Moon has provided a caring and loving home for her these last years. She has thrived, and what we really love is the team has helped us select the right environment for her to move on to. They have given us the necessary advice, reports, and support in finding the right place. I know our daughter will miss the place, but we hope to come back and visit!

Review from Linda M (Mother of Child) published on 6 May 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We moved to Banana Moon Day Nursery Stoke Poges from another nursery and I can honestly say it was the best decision. My son absolutely loves it. We love the daily updates on the app as it shows us the progress he's making. The daily routines Banana Moon Day Nursery Stoke Poges delivers to prepare our son for school is one of the main reasons we chose the nursery, from PE lessons, teaching him to write his name, basic math and recently Spanish. He's exposed to so much more and I would highly recommend Banana Moon Day Nursery Stoke Poges. Thank you to all the lovely staff.

Reply from Maream, Manager at Banana Moon Day Nursery Stoke Poges

Review from Elizabeth S (Mother of Child) published on 6 May 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

This nursery is just wonderful! My daughter has learnt so much through her time at Banana Moon Day Nursery Stoke Poges. I have seen a huge improvement with her numbers and letters. The teachers are brilliant and facilities are excellent. Even learning Spanish and science at the age of three. They also organise visits from local animal businesses for show and tell. My daughter really enjoys her days at this nursery, so much so we are sending my son there in a months time. Highly recommend!

Reply from Maream, Manager at Banana Moon Day Nursery Stoke Poges

Dear Elizabeth, thank you very much for your lovely kind words. We can't wait for little man to start with us and start his journey with us.

A fantastic nursery with great facilities and excellent communication skills. Both my children attend the nursery, and I have nothing but good praises to say. The staff are very friendly, caring, and the main thing is my children come home happy. I couldn’t have picked a better nursery. I have also recommended this nursery to friends and family.

Dear Pritie, thank you for your kind words. We really appreciate your support throughout your time with us. Both children have made such amazing bonds with everyone which is lovely to see. We are excited to carry on making lovely memories with you all.

Banana Moon Day Nursery Stoke Poges has been the most fantastic nursery. The staff are amazing and really do provide the best start in life for all the children. The facilities are great and we have so much peace of mind that our son will be cared for as well as he is at home. We would like to give particular thanks to the owner, who is running such a lovely nursery and also to three particular members of staff.

Review from Shafiah L (Mother of Child) published on 26 March 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

From the beginning, I received a very quick response time from management as well as excellent customer service. This remained the case once my son joined the nursery too. The ease of the settling in period as well as having friendly staff and the manager, has been nothing but amazing. The manager has been accommodating, quickly responding and assuring me of the best practices and policy in place for Covid-19. The app is informative as well as the monthly newsletter and I’m incredibly happy and blessed to have chosen this nursery for my son.

Review from Sarah H (Mother of Child) published on 25 March 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We have two children at Banana Moon Day Nursery Stoke Poges. Our eldest has been coming for just over three years now! Both are thriving and really enjoy their time at the nursery. They run in each morning, excited to see their key workers and come home animated about their days. We feel confident about their development and are impressed with how learning is integrated with their play, tailored to their skills and learning styles! The team know our children really well and we are always given a detailed handover each evening. We were also really impressed with how they’ve managed through the coronavirus pandemic. There were daily calls with activities during the shut down, which helped with familiarity and then they reopened and the children returned! They were very fair with how fees were managed and we’ve been impressed with how diligent they are in abiding by the guidance. We’d happily recommend to anyone looking for a warm and stimulating nursery for their little one!

Dear Sarah,

Review from Tanya V (Mother of Child) published on 15 March 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has been attending this nursery since she was eighteen months old. I instantly felt safe and reassured by the staff and the environment we were putting our child in. My daughter has learned to potty train and eat by herself all because of the hard work and dedication of the staff at Banana Moon Day Nursery Stoke Poges. They take on board any concerns and issues the parents may have and address them promptly. They have been so nurturing towards my daughter's education and a massive support through this pandemic. I don’t know what I would do without Banana Moon Day Nursery Stoke Poges and the girls there!

Reply from Maream Ahmed, Nursery Manager at Banana Moon Day Nursery Stoke Poges

Thank you for giving us a lovely review and sharing your kind words. The team were very happy to read your review. We are very grateful and appreciate the trust you have put in us with the care for your little one. She has become so confident within herself it's amazing to see the development.

Review from Gianna J (Mother of Child) published on 15 March 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Both my sons attend Banana Moon Day Nursery Stoke Poges. My eldest is in preschool and has been attending since he was fourteen months! We looked around a few nurseries before selecting Banana Moon Day Nursery Stoke Poges, it was by far the nicest. They have different spaces within the nursery for the children to enjoy. The girls are all delightful and take such good care of the children. They really learn so much from their time spent there and I credit a lot of my sons' progress from the support of the nursery. Such as manners, writing, social skills and potty training. They get two hot meals a day and the nursery keeps you updated with your child's daily activities, meals/snacks, sleep and nappy output via an app. I'm sure it must be very difficult selecting a nursery in current times, but I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Banana Moon Day Nursery Stoke Poges.

Reply from Maream Ahmed, Nursery Manager at Banana Moon Day Nursery Stoke Poges

Thank you very much for such a lovely review. I have shared this with my team and they were all full of smiles. It is amazing to see how much they have grown and developing. We love hearing stories from their weekend. Thank you for always being so supportive and part of our journey.

Review from Rajvinder B (Mother of Child) published on 11 February 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

This nursery and the staff are honestly amazing! After having a child during the pandemic and going through a whole year at home there isn’t anywhere I would leave my baby! They have made this scary most daunting experience the best, even with all the restrictions in place I feel ever so relaxed and at ease that my baby is safe and in the most caring hands ever. After only being in the nursery for two weeks he is now eating all by himself and also sleeping through the night in his own room! I could honestly praise them endlessly but the truth speaks for itself. Thank you to all the lovely ladies at Banana Moon, you are all amazing!

Reply from Maream, Nursery Manager at Banana Moon Day Nursery Stoke Poges
Dear Rajvinder,
Thank you so much for your lovely words. We really appreciate you putting the trust in us with limited access to our building. We can't wait to open our doors and share all the fun activities we do on a day to day basis with you.

Review from Samantha D (Mother of Child) published on 11 August 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter started Banana Moon Stoke Poges in June 2020, whilst in the midst of the Global Pandemic. To state I was nervous about how it would all work, was an understatement. From the moment she started her settling in sessions (which had to be done very differently to the 'norm') I was put at ease and that is solely down to the staff that work within this establishment. My daughter is absolutely thriving within this environment, her speech has come on in leaps and bounds and she is now such a social little butterfly. She gets so excited to go to nursery and play with her new friends and peers. I am so thankful to the team at Banana Moon and I would recommend their services to everyone!

Review from Renu D (Mother of Child) published on 15 November 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has been coming to Banana Moon since May 2019 and the positive changes we have seen since then have been countless. The teachers are warm and caring and the whole team make us feel so comfortable. We used to attend another pre-school in the area and the difference is night and day. I have recommended Banana Moon to so many friends and will also send my youngest child when the time comes. I can’t sing their praises enough.

My son has been coming to Banana Moon for nearly one year and he loves it here! The staff are friendly and make him feel very welcome from the moment he walks through the door. We moved him from another nursery as we were unhappy and worried about him settling in but the staff have done a great job with him. Every time I pick him up he does not want to come home and is always excited to tell me what he has been doing.

Review from Abbas A (Father of Child) published on 10 December 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We moved our daughter from another nursery to Banana Moon in September. She was 20 months old at the time and so we were very apprehensive about the move.

I can quite confidently say, we had nothing to worry about. Our little one has settled in absolutely wonderfully and is happier than we've ever seen her. She literally jumps out of our arms when we walk into the nursery in the morning.

She has a lovely bond with all her carers and it's so lovely to see her grow and develop into such a happy and confident child. She is thoroughly stimulated and there are lots of activities on a daily basis to keep her occupied.

We could not be happier with the choice of nursery and would definitely recommend it.
