My son started here when he was 1 and a half, he started in the baby room and now will soon be leaving to start school! I honestly can not sing their praises loud enough! Every member of staff has had an impact on my son's development and character, they have not only supported him through his early years but me too! Reassured me when I have needed it and given me guidance when I have asked. They have always respected and given great choices for his diet as he's vegetarian and dairy intolerant which is amazing! Never left out at snack times or even birthdays! My son loves his nursery and it will be very emotional leaving Banana Moon for us both! I know it's his next chapter with school but I wish he could stay forever where I know he's so well cared for and safe. Thank you for everything to the whole Banana Moon team.
Thank you for the lovely feedback. It has been great to watch your Son grow and develop with us. We will miss him lots but wish him all the very best for his next adventure.
My son has been at Banana Moon Kempston for 3 months now and I have already recommended the nursery to 2 of my friends, who also now send their children there. My little one has the best time at nursery doing a variety of things. The teachers are lovely and always so helpful when it comes to meeting his needs. I am kept updated throughout the day with what my son is up to and receive regular pictures too. So far, we’ve had a brilliant experience with this nursery.
Thank you for the lovely feedback. We are really enjoying having your Son here and we look forward to watching him grow.
My son started July 2020, an anxious time but due to work commitments childcare was necessary. Communication initially was easy the manager performed a Zoom call tour which was great and she was friendly and approachable. My son settled in so well, I get regular updates when he is at nursery. He is happy to go and has made many friends. Lots of interesting and fun activities are set up and he has developed so well and will be more than ready for the transition into pre-school because of the time he has spent at Banana Moon! Cannot speak highly enough of this nursery.
Thank you for your lovely feedback. We have enjoyed having your Son here with us and will be sad to see him leave. However, he has become such a confident little person and we are pleased to have helped him with that.
Banana Moon has been amazing since my some started last year. It took him a while to settle in but they assured me it always takes time before long he was loving it lockdown hit and he was off for 14 weeks. Taking him back in July he didn't want to go. But he soon remembered how much he loves nursery and all the girls are there too. I love it just as much as he does.
Thank you so much for the lovely review. We are so glad your little boy has settled back so well with us.
The staff are always so friendly and from the first day have always filled me with confidence that they’re taking excellent care of my son.
The activities they do throughout the day with the children always look like such fun! The updates on the app are great, seeing how much my son is enjoying himself and knowing when he’s eaten, slept, etc. puts my mind at ease.
The freshly prepared meals Banana Moon Kempston offers are fantastic. I was worried that as a vegetarian my son wouldn’t be offered a wide variety of nutritious meals but I couldn’t be feeding him better myself!
10/10, I would recommend for the amazing staff, the great facilities, the meals and the activities they do all day every day! Even through the struggles of the Covid-19 pandemic, their standards have remained high.
Thank you for the great review. Our parent app is certainly a winner with our parents. We love having your little boy here with us.
After visiting a lot of local pre-schools. I came to Banana Moon feeling deflated and anxious I was immediately reassured and felt happy and relaxed. The pre-school had such a lovely, calming and welcoming environment and it was the only place I felt confident to leave my daughter. The staff are all very hands-on and nurturing. My daughter is now due to start school, she can read and write very confidently. She can also write her name with ease. I owe it all to Banana Moon and will miss bringing her there. Thank you!
Thank you for the lovely review. We enjoyed our time spent with your daughter. Good luck at school.
My daughter (now 4) has been at Banana Moon since she was 15-months-old. We cannot speak highly enough of her time there. She has been nurtured and cared for every step of the way and under the care of the staff team, she has flourished. Communication is excellent and the knowledge that staff have of the EYFS curriculum is outstanding. We have appreciated their flexibility and professionalism very much over the last 3 years as well as their knowledge of individual children. My daughter has been so happy throughout her time at Banana Moon. It really is a wonderful environment and an amazing place for children to learn and grow.
Thank you so much for this review. We have enjoyed supporting your daughter through nursery.
My little boy has been with Banana Moon since he was nine months old and he has loved every moment of being there. He is now two and still as happy. The staff are amazing and he loves them. He is so at ease with them. Even going back after Covid-19 he was still smiling to see them. They were amazing throughout the Covid-19 pandemic and just proved how incredible they are. My little boy learns so much every day. They provide great food throughout the day that my little boy loves. The activities are fun and he will come home now chatting about what he has done. The app is great and updated, providing you with all the important information and also activities the children have been doing, which will always bring a smile to your face. I highly recommend Banana Moon.
Thank you for the review, Karen. We are glad you are so happy with us.

The children seem very happy and have good relationships with staff.
All the staff are amazing at their jobs and are so welcoming.
I have no issues with the staff or nursery.
I would absolutely recommend this nursery.
I can trust the nursery staff in any problem that my son can have.
I'm sure they will guide him and teach him lots of new things.
Banana Moon will strive to be the best and will achieve outstanding one day.
Wonderful staff.
My son is very, very happy here.
She has been going since she was a baby.
I go to work knowing she is safe and well looked after.
Banana Moon day Nursery is a friendly, fun and safe environment for children to grow, develop and build positive relationships with the teachers. The staff are always friendly and very knowledgeable about my child's needs, thoughts and areas of development. I am also impressed with the way the staff look to give the children new and exciting things to do and learn about on a regular basis.
Thank you Michelle. Our franchisee and her Manager will be delighted to hear such lovely feedback, so thank you for taking the time to review Banana Moon Kempston.
My child was one of the first to start here, when it was a brand new set up. I was worried about putting my baby girl into nursery as I thought that a baby sitter would be a better option for the 1-1 attention but I can now say I was so wrong. My little girl has thrived whilst being there, her learning seems to be quicker, she has become a lot more independent they promote the toddlers to do things for themselves. Also she loves going I don't get her crying and not wanting to go she loves it and its nice as she is an only child that she gets the interaction she needs with other children. All the staff are very friendly and treat the children very well over all i am very pleased.
My daughter started Banana Moon in December 2015. She took a few weeks to settle in but now she can't get enough, the staff are always so friendly and she adores them. My daughter suffers with food allergies and asthma, and the nursery staff are always very cautious and are on top of all the needs of each child.
My son has attended Banana Moon since May 15 he is looked after and so happy. The staff are friendly and caring, he has so much fun and is learning so much. Having to work when your child is so young is hard, its difficult to leave them but knowing he is so happy makes it is much easier. I leave him every day knowing he is safe, happy and looked after, I can't explain how reassuring that is.
