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 51 weeks of the year. You've selected 30 funded hours.
- This nursery applies up to 10 funded hours per day, stretched across 51 weeks of the year. With your selected funding, 22.4 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.

We have used Banana Moon Chipping Norton since 2021. Both our children have complex congenital heart conditions, making infections particularly dangerous.
We challenged the nursery's blanket 24-hour exclusion policy for antibiotics, even when our child was well and not infectious. Despite raising concerns under the Equality Act, the Director refused to reconsider and suggested alternative childcare.
Six days later, our child's place was terminated immediately over disputed allegations involving a family member. We were given no opportunity to discuss the allegations, arrange alternative collections or agree a transition period. There appeared to be little consideration for our medically vulnerable child's welfare. We have formally disputed the termination and contacted Ofsted and Oxfordshire County Council. After five years of trust, we are devastated. Parents should be able to advocate for their children's medical needs.

Were incredibly sorry to read your review and saddened that, after five years of being part of your childs early years journey, its come to the difficult decision to end their time with us.At Banana Moon Chipping Norton, our priority is always to provide a safe, caring and nurturing environment for all the children in our care, their families and, just as importantly, our staff. We have policies in place to help protect all parties and to ensure that concerns and incidents are managed appropriately.
Thank you for the support you have shown our nursery over the past five years. We sincerely wish you and your family all the very best for the future.

My little boy started at Banana Moon in March 2026. Initially I was quite apprehensive as he had spent the first 15 months of his life with just family members every day as we waited a long time to get him a place in another nursery. I applied for him to go to Banana Moon only two months before his start date and they were able to accept him and give me a start date pretty much straight away. He now goes two days a week 8am-6pm and absolutely loves it. He has an incredible bond with his key worker Esme who is always fantastic at praising him and making me feel comfortable after leaving him at the end of the day. The app that they use is incredible. They keep you updated with Photos regularly and you get a diary to show you what your child is doing through throughout the day, it can become quite an obsession :) All of the team at Banana Moon are very welcoming and nothing is ever too much of a hassle for them. I trust them religiously with my little boy. 100% recommend!
Thank you for the review, we are thrilled that you are happy (and so is your little boy).
The staff all show such love and affection and care and I feel so relieved leaving her in their care
We have hourly updates and they will listen and help with any concerns you may have
Couldn't recommend enough!

It's a huge relief to know she is so well looked after. She loves the food, and the variety of daily activities keeps her thoroughly engaged. By the time we pick her up, she's happily exhausted from a full day of play. We couldn't ask for a better environment for her.
Thank you for the review, we are so glad that you chose Banana Moon Chipping Norton.

My little one absolutely loves Banana Moon. Sarah and the team are amazing and really do go above and beyond. From having extra settling sessions to help with the transition, to seeing her now, so confident, happy and loving her time there, it's brilliant. She has come on so much since being at nursery I can't believe it! I would definitely recommend the nursery to anyone looking in the area. There's a good mix of being inside and outside whatever the weather, great variety of foods, lots of play and activities that really support development, and such a lovely group of staff in each room. I've also been so impressed by how the nursery goes out of its way to engage with the parents and community, offering additional events like wreath making at Christmas, which was a lovely chance to meet other mums.
Thank you for the review, we are so glad that you and your little one are enjoying your journey with us.

The team at Chipping Norton have made my daughters time at nursery incredibly supportive and nurturing. They are very proactive with tackling any concerns or questions you may have and the management team are always there to support you and lend an ear. My daughter is nearly 3 and has been at the nursery since she was 8months old and I couldn't have asked for a better start for her, the range of activities and learning opportunities are great and they also have a big community drive
Thank you, a highlight of the job is seeing a child go through all rooms and going off to school ready for their next chapter.
Our daughter loves her two days a week at nursery. Sarah and the team are fantastic! They put so much effort into all the activities during the day making sure kids experience all sorts of play, inside, outside, creative and messy! Our daughter comes home each day excited, tired and with lots of...
The team are brilliant at updating the app with the days events along with pictures so we can check in anytime to see what she's up to. Special thanks to her key persons Chloe and Mia.
We are definitely a messy nursery !!! Thank you for sharing your daughter with us and for the support.

I could not recommend this nursery enough from daily updates to trying different foods to the hand overs, Sarah and the girls really do go above and beyond. Especially recently with my son having recent stays at hospital, they have reassured us, made us laugh and made us feel at ease. My son loves his nursery days and we have noticed that he has come on leaps and bounds just from learning at nursery. I will be very sad in the years to come when he has to leave to attend school.
Thank you for your kind words. Our aim is to make this a pleasant experience not just for the child but for the families too.
Sarah and her team always go above and beyond. My son had a bit of tricky start, and at times struggled to settle but has since started to really enjoying going to nursery. This is down to the supportive, creative staff and the energy and...
Sarah and her team always go above and beyond. My son had a bit of tricky start, and at times struggled to settle but has since started to really enjoying going to nursery. This is down to the supportive, creative staff and the energy and enthusiasm that they dedicate every day, to both children and parents. The regular stay and play sessions are fantastic, as well as the general positivity and regular communication of the whole team.
I feel the staff at Banana Moon are dedicated to child development, though most importantly, to fun and happiness of our babies. for that, I am so grateful to have found this nursery. I feel assured each day I drop my daughter off that her day will be full of love and fun.

The communication from nursery is fantastic and they ensure that we are always up to date with how our daughter is doing and what is going on.
Our daughter sleeps well during naps at nursery and eats better there than she does at home. The variety of food that they provide is fantastic.
We would highly recommend Banana Moon in Chipping Norton.

Amazing nursery which is very well-run by superb management who are always friendly and helpful. The staff are very caring and take really good care of the children. There is always a wide range of fun activities for the children and I love the daily diary which is informative and lets you know what your child has been doing, including photographs which are always very much appreciated, the diary from babymoons is great as you get a personalised update on your child. We travel 25 miles round trip to get our children to Banana Moon Day Nursery and it is well worth the journey. For anyone considering a nursery, I would definitely contact Banana Moon. I can't recommend it highly enough.
