Review from S W (Mother of Child) published on 18 June 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
This nursery is amazing, the staff team are like one big family.
I could not thank them enough, throughout the whole settle session I was made to feel reassured and comforted.
I could ask the manager and staff team any questions without being made to feel silly.

Best nursery I could ask for.

We have been with this nursery for just over a year now. My daughter has moved from the baby through two classes and the staff are just incredible! Always attentive and understanding and looking for ways to help her grow and develop. Couldn’t recommend them enough.

Really good nursery, staff are very friendly and my son enjoys his time there. When I get an update at the end of the day, I feel very happy. The app is the best, makes me feel closer to him when I am not with him!

Overall Experience

Not enough words to describe how excellent Banana Moon Westhill is. My daughter loves going there. I can see that she’s never bored and always busy playing and learning at the same time. Everyone of the staff is so amazing, caring and knowledgeable. They let you know about everything in detail and discuss various topics regarding my child’s development. The app is the best to keep track of daily routines (sleep, food, nappies etc.) and major developments. Overall, the whole team and their approach to early education is above my expectations.

Review from M B (Father of Child) published on 21 February 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
The team at Banana Moon Westhill are outstanding and very dedicated to their job role.
The staff team who care for my child have a genuine passion for caring for the children that they support.
The app is great for updates and informs me about my child's day which is a great thing to see especially when I may be having an off day at work I can just log on and see my child having fun.
Nothing is ever too much for the staff team and they are always willing to answer any questions or just be there to talk too.
The nursery management team are fantastic and very supportive and their door is always open if you just need a friendly chat.

I have nothing negative to say about this nursery and 100% recommend it if you are looking for a nursery place for your child.

Review from L T (Father of Child) published on 8 December 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
The daily routine at the nursery is well-structured and provides a perfect balance of learning and play. I am amazed at how much my toddler has grown and developed since starting here. The staff incorporates educational activities into the daily schedule, helping my child learn important skills such as counting, colours and social interaction.

Communication with the nursery staff has been exceptional. They provide regular updates on my child's progress and are always available to answer any questions or concerns I may have. I feel confident leaving my toddler in their care, knowing that they are in capable hands.

Review from N K (Father of Child) published on 27 June 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our children have attended this nursery for the last year and a half and they love attending it twice weekly. We have found that they really make an effort to tailor our children's learning activities to their own personal interests which is a method that we've found to be really successful. During April my wife and I were called away for work and found the nursery to be very effective in finding different activities for the kids to do all week to keep them engaged and learning. We would highly recommend this nursery.

The team at Banana Moon in Westhill are always a pleasure. Nothing is too much trouble and they keep me fully informed at all times. My daughter is excited to arrive and play with her friends every week and she has a great relationship with the team there. Even the practitioners that aren't based in her room know her well. Very family oriented and friendly atmosphere and cannot rate them enough.

Banana Moon in Westhill is the best possible place I could send my children. I send my kids there, knowing very well that they will take care of the kids extremely well and they will be very happy! They organize age-appropriate activities and take all the care to make a child feel happy and included.

Each and every staff member is amazing and I couldn't have found a better place to send the kids.

Review from Sophie B (Mother of Child) published on 26 June 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My child feels so comfortable and happy here, he has built some amazing bonds- both with his friends and with the staff within the nursery. You can tell that the staff love and care for all the kids there and that has always put my mind at ease.
The app for the nursery is also great and I adore seeing all the fun things he has been up to.
They’ve also been really great and accommodating when it comes to potty training and nothing ever seems too much of a bother.

I’m very glad we found Banana Moon and couldn’t ever imagine him going elsewhere- the care, passion and love they have for the kids are incomparable.

I do not have a bad word to say about this nursery, my child loves going on a daily basis and tells me all the fun things they do throughout the day. I feel she is getting on well and getting balanced warm meals every day. The staff are always happy to answer any questions or concerns that I may have and always give me a full rundown of my child’s day. Great nursery and would highly recommend it.

Review from A P (Mother of Child) published on 26 April 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our daughter has been attending Banana Moon since September 2022, she settled in quickly and the staff showed an awareness of her personality from the very early days, identifying characteristics my husband and I had noticed at home, this as a parent was invaluable and reassuring. The nursery has provided a stimulating setting for my daughter where I can see she is respected and nurtured, now on the days she attends nursery she goes in with confidence and familiarity. Banana Moon is very good at listening to the parents and has been very good at keeping us informed when our daughter hasn't been herself whilst in their care. It is a joy to watch the relationship that our daughter has with the caregivers in Banana Moon, many go above and beyond to provide an educational and safe setting.

Overall Experience

My daughter has been going to Banana Moon since January 2022, and being a pandemic baby, it was the first time she had attended anywhere on her own and away from me. The staff were very welcoming and immediately reassuring to my daughter, as a result, she settled in really quickly and now loves going to the nursery to see her friends and teachers. We love the bright, modern layout of the nursery, as we know it is an open, safe environment for an active toddler. The staff are great at creating fun activities during the day, and we love seeing what she gets up to during the day on the app and also finding out what she's eaten during the day! We are very happy with everything and glad we choose Banana Moon.

My daughter has been attending the nursery since Aug 2021 when she was 10 months old. She settled in quickly and instantly loved all the staff. You will now find her knocking on the door trying to get in in the morning.
They provide a great variety of activities that develops her learning. Anything with mess, music and being allowed to play outside are firm favourites.

The app provides us with reassurance that she is fine throughout the day and what she has been up to. Really happy with our daughter's care.

Review from Iwona K (Mother of Child) published on 20 April 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I can see a massive change in my son's behaviour since he joined Banana Moon Nursery. He can count up to 20 and add simple numbers. Also, the nursery provides a lot of educational activities, so I am very happy with my choice and care my son receives.
Ladies and management work closely with me to improve behaviour or food habits.
He eats most of the food he gets and that’s the dishes that he would never eat at home.

Amazing job you’re doing.

Review from Cat A (Mother of Child) published on 13 April 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our child started in November and they have thrived since. They seem to be constantly picking up new skills and are happy every time we pick them up (sometimes to the point they don't want to come home). We have found the menu (and copying the other kids eat), has helped them to use cutlery and willing to try different food and eat a wider range of food at home. Our child always seems to be content, which shows how safe they are there. Can't imagine using another nursery.

Hi, my name is Amanda,

I have been working in the Early years since I left school. It is a vocation that I am very passionate about and dedicated to. I opened the Banana Moon at Dyce 5 years ago alongside Will. We have strived to reduce stress, and support and nurture the families and children that attend us.

I am supportive and proactive at sourcing and engaging the teams with training to upskill our staff team which benefits the children by having the highest quality of staff available to them. All our staff teams are continuously developing their professional development, working towards qualification and enhancing policies and practices in their settings. I myself am working on my PDA award with just a few months left to complete.

It is a pleasure and honour to work with the children and families and to watch the progression and development of each and every child
