We have nothing but positive words to say about our experience with Banana Moon. Our daughter has settled in wonderfully and the staff have been so proactive and caring through her illnesses. Our daughter loves coming to nursery as she repeats the staffs names all the time. This is so reassuring as a new first time parent. Thank you to all the staff!

Overall Experience

Our son has been attending Banana Moon for approx 16 months. We have been really pleased with not only the 'service' provided and the reliability but the care provided by the staff at all times. Following a previous negative experience of another nursery with a sibling, I am really happy we chose to trust Banana Mood. I would recommend to friends/family for their own children. Thankyou!

Overall Experience

We couldn't ask for any more in a nursery. All the staff at Banana Moon are so kind and caring. Our son loves his days at nursery and he's constantly supported in his development from learning sign language to practising his motor skills. All the staff are so great at building connections with our son to make sure he's having the best time and it's so great for us to feel safe knowing he's so well looked after. Big thanks goes to his key worker and all the other lovely team members.
