About this price
How funding is applied, how the monthly figure is calculated.More info
- Working parents of children aged 9 months to 2 years can usually claim up to 30 funded hours a week. The working-parent hours depend on each parent meeting the minimum earnings rules and earning under £100,000 a year. This nursery stretches funded hours across 52 weeks of the year. You've selected 30 funded hours.
- This nursery applies up to 10 funded hours per day, stretched across 52 weeks of the year. With your selected funding, 21.9 hours are covered each week. Hours beyond this, including the early and late parts of the day, are charged at the standard rate.
- We work out the total cost across the year and divide by 12, so the figure shown is a smoothed monthly average. In practice, nurseries bill in different ways. Some bill monthly at this average. Others bill weekly, or charge for what happened that week or month, which can vary across the year. Confirm billing details with the nursery when you enquire.

I feel very safe and comfortable leaving both my children at nursery. The staff are very friendly and approachable. The children have become more confident being left at childcare. Their days are full of activities, fun times in the garden, the nursery works towards their development and progression. I go to work feeling happy that my children are in good hands and they will do lots of things that we might not do at home.

My daughter is very happy at Banana Moon and talks about it all the time at home! She has made friends very quickly and loves every day there. I was impressed by the attention given to the fact that my daughter speaks two languages and the staff's interest to know some main phrases and words in Albanian.
Thank you Rina that's some lovely feedback! It's lovely to know that she talks about us at home!
The food that is served is all homemade and varies, I know my little one is eating well and healthy during the time she's there.

The nursery is fantastic, I can't fault it. As a father, my previous day care has felt quite daunting but not here. They are always inviting us in for different things and my son loves it here. The garden is a plus point as my son loves digging for worms etc. He also loves the soft play and the local walks they go on so often. If I have any more children they'll definitely be coming to Banana Moon.

The nursery is excellent! I feel comfortable leaving my daughter here and have done since day 1. the team have always made me feel confident in their abilities and they are all warm and friendly. Fees are reasonable and do reflect the services provided. The girls are always telling me what she has done and where they have been, along with involving me in her development and also their plans for developing the nursery. Finally the nursery is clean and well resourced and the fresh high quality home made food is a credit to the nursery - very healthy too!
