Banana Moon Day Nursery Chipping Norton

I can't tell you enough how amazing I think this nursery is. My eldest son went to a different nursery but for my youngest we drive the journey to Banana Moon. Whilst the building, cleanliness, garden etc. are all fantastic I think that it's the team here that really make it so great. They all just go the extra mile and really care. My son has been there from age 1 (now 3) and has progressed really well, I'm totally confident that as he moves to the full moons room that they will prepare him even further for his start in school. I'm only sad that one day we'll have to leave!

The manager and the team always listen to any concerns that we have regarding our son and always respect our wishes. He also has multiple food sensitivities, they are very good with him making sure he is never left out.

Our son started in baby moons in January and despite never having stepped foot inside (due to Covid policy) we have felt so welcomed as a family. The staff take such an interest in my son and work hard to provide games and toys that match his interests and passions. The app they use for communication is really good, and my son walks in very happily every morning - what more could you ask for? We found the nursery as a last resort as the ones closest to us didn’t have space. However, rather than changing to a closer nursery, we are actually looking at moving house to be closer because he is so settled and so obviously enjoying it. Would highly recommend the manager and her team

Along with the attention they have given him, the nursery itself is well structured and thought-out with multiple ideas and activities in place.

The team have made a great impression on him and he always mentions their names, with favourites mentioned.

Thank you Banana Moon team, you are more of a third parent than a nursery!

My little wizard comes home every time with a smile on his face and can't wait to go back the next day. If only they were open at weekends too!

My son has been going for over a year now and the support he's been offered during the year of lockdown has been invaluable to his development. The staff know him and work to help him grow to be the best that he can be. I'm really happy with my son's development there and I know that when he's there that he is in a safe, supportive atmosphere and is being cared for. And he gets two proper hot meals a day, breakfast and snacks which is a real game-changer! Not all heroes wear capes!

All at Banana Moon have been fantastic with my son, he started just before he was 10 months and has adored it since day 1. He has a very lovely relationship with his key worker and room leader. He has grown so much and come on in so many respects and I feel a lot of that it's down to the nursery and staff. Would highly recommend it to anyone. He loves going and gets excited to go in and explore.

Moved my daughter here at the height of lockdown. She absolutely loves going to nursery and seeing her friends and the staff. They do a lot of 'messy play' which she loves and they all seem to adore her which is lovely to see. She eats fantastically and looks delighted to go there every day. Thank you for taking such good care of her. One less thing to worry about.

Our son has been at Banana Moon a year now and has had a fantastic experience. The staff are lovely and also find the time to fill us in on his daily activities. The manager has a hugely positive energy and our boy loves her. Our questions are answered so quickly with a high level of detail. We are so glad we chose Banana Moon when we moved here!

My son started Banana Moon just before lockdown, he was extremely anxious when he returned, but the staff supported with a phased return. The staff are fantastic, they communicate fully with parents, and don’t mind parents asking questions. My son returns from nursery tired, full and happy (the signs of a great day for a toddler). We even increased his sessions he enjoys it so much! I cannot thank Banana Moon enough - they’ve been the light in the dark of 2020 for my son.

I sure you will very impressed like we are.

Our son has been at this nursery for 14 months now and he loves every day. The staff are wonderful and have handled the pandemic fantastically. One of the reasons we chose this nursery was the importance they put on well prepared, healthy food, and every day the children have really good food to eat. A really excellent nursery.

My son is 11-months and has been going here just over a month now, and he has been really enjoying himself! I love that there is an app where I can see what he has been up to, I eagerly wait for the update. Would definitely recommend, the staff are very enthusiastic and energetic.

The staff are all very helpful and my son has settled quickly back into the nursery routine after lockdown and enjoys all the activities they do. There is a good outdoor space for them to enjoy with lots of things to play with.

I couldn't be happier with my child attending this nursery. She has never been so settled in a childcare environment. Particularly I am impressed with how well the staff know my child and how she likes to be comforted. My 2-year-old now asks to go to nursery and see her keyworker, walking in on her own without a second glance back. She has learnt so much and had so many new experiences since she has started. The daily diaries are really comprehensive and reassures me that she is happy in their care. Would highly recommend this nursery.

My boy has now joined Banana Moon along with his sister who has been there for nearly two years and he is loving it just as much as she does. He can't wait to go in the morning and is developing amazingly. We couldn't be happier with the service of this nursery and would happily recommend it to anyone!

I can only recommend this nursery, they are absolutely amazing. Our little girl learned so much since she is there. The staff are amazing, very friendly and caring. My daughter was a very fussy eater but they get her drink milk(wow) or eat anything (Big Thank You for that). Every day when I pick her up I receive a diary about what they have been up to, what they had for breakfast, snack, lunch. How much did she eat. When was she on the loo..etc. And pictures showing my little girl having fun. (Can't wait to receive those pictures when I pick her up in the afternoon.) She loves her nursery since day 1. I'm glad we found Banana Moon, makes our little girl very happy. Thank you Banana Moon.

Our little girl loves it here - she always comes home with a smile on her face and can’t wait to go back. She has developed so much in her time at Banana Moon and the team have taught her so much. The staff are absolutely incredible; so loving, caring and friendly and you always know your child is in safe hands. The facilities are excellent and the variety and health of food the children are given is excellent. In addition, we always receive regular detailed updates about our girls progress as well as a daily diary informing us about what she has been up to, what she ate and when she went to the loo, so you never feel out of the loop. We couldn’t be happier to recommend Banana Moon, we tell all of our friends about it.
