My son has attended Banana Moon since before he was a year old. His development since being here is amazing, the variety of activities and attention to his progression has helped him to come on so much. All the staff are so knowledgeable and so approachable. My son has formed strong bonds with them and his peers. He loves coming to Banana Moon. Thank you for everything!

Overall Experience
All the staff are very welcoming and kind.
The food always looks/smells good, and is healthy.
Very strict with the door/entrance (no tailgating), which puts my mind at ease.

The app could be improved with more pictures/updates.

Review from E M (Mother of Child) published on 18 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Just wanted to say a formal thank you to a particular member of staff, her communication today with my child being a bit under the weather has been brilliant. As a parent, this is hugely reassuring knowing that our little one is getting the love and attention she needs when feeling poorly.
Happy to admit I am a needy parent at the best of times but this particular member of staff and the Mini Moons communication as always is faultless.

Thank you this staff member, superstar as always. Also, we wanted to give a shout-out to another particular staff member! We have noticed how much effort he puts in with the Mini Moons, he doesn’t shy away from getting involved in reading and playing with kids. Our daughter has been mentioning his name more and more to us. She takes her time bonding with men so it is a testament to his perseverance and consistency that she calls him her friend super cute.

Overall Experience

Absolutely fantastic! As new parents (especially myself), I was dreading going back to work and my little boy starting nursery but I can honestly say, it's the best decision we made sending him to Banana Moon Day Nursery Rothwell. Our little boy has come on leaps and bounds and we couldn't be more grateful! We definitely recommend.
