Review from L M (Mother of Child) published on 18 April 2024 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
From the moment the manager showed me round, I knew it was the nursery for us. The manager was extremely knowledgeable, organised in her approach and very personable. All of the staff I have dealt with, so far, have been very caring and supportive in helping my child settle. The nursery itself has a lovely feel to it with lots of toys and resources.

The food offering is well-balanced and I love the organised approach to accommodating children with dietary requirements.

The staff here have been very supportive and friendly with our daughter and with us as parents. We have had our daughter here for two years and will be enrolling our son shortly. The development of our daughter, skills and personally, has been amazing, thanks in no small way to the amazing staff! Thank you.

I have used Banana Moon Day Nursery Rothwell for several years now. My daughter was here first, and I could not fault none of the staff for anything. My son is now here, and he is loving it!
Staff are amazing!

Building is always in good, clean condition for all the children.

Review from Cassidy M (Mother of Child) published on 27 March 2024 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

I would recommend Banana Moon to anyone, it is an amazing nursery, and the care provided to my children by staff is excellent. The staff are noticeably happier and more comfortable since the new manager took over. I have full faith in her running the nursery, she is more than capable and has reassured me in situations she has dealt with promptly in relation to medical matters with my child and ensuring safeguarding policies are adhered to. The staff morale appears to have improved. The children are offered a varied diet by the chef and celebrate different cultures/festivals. The children are engaged in a wide range of activities, and I love receiving regular updates throughout the day on the app.

Review from Catherine R (Mother of Child) published on 27 March 2024 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

All the staff have been extremely helpful in settling my son into nursery for his first time. They have been interested in what my son likes and doesn't, what helps him to settle and what his next steps are. They are always just a phone call away to answer any questions, which has put my mind at ease! I would highly recommend Banana Moon Nursery!

Review from J A (Mother of Child) published on 27 March 2024 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My daughter loves coming to Banana Moon. She was based in Mini Moons, and the staff in there went above and beyond for her needs and care. I, as the parent, felt like the staff was very approachable, and I could discuss any worries about toilet training etc, and had the full support and knowledge. We will miss binding at Banana Moon. Thank you so much to all the team.

Review from Beth F (Mother of Child) published on 27 March 2024 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Both my children have attended Banana Moon. I never considered booking my second child anywhere else. The staff are amazing, caring, kind and professional. The food is great - my child seems to enjoy every meal. The manager is brilliant - approachable and helpful, she always has a smile when I walk past the office. My child never wants to leave when I arrive to pick her up - what better review from four year old?

Overall Experience
My son's progression since starting BM has been amazing! All the staff are amazing and are on hand to answer any questions I may have. My son has a special place for 3 particular members of staff. He loves playing, making friends, and learning. I've also made friends since he's been here.

I also want to say a special thanks to the manager, who always a polite greeting which makes me feel a lot better when leaving, and always answers any questions I have within the day. I wish my son could stay instead of going to primary.
