I have been bringing my granddaughter to Banana Moon Day Nursery Hamilton since September 2020. I can say hand on heart it's absolutely amazing. The staff are all truly wonderful and my granddaughter has come on in leaps and bounds. She loves going every week and has taken to all the staff so well. They have a great food menu too, so plenty to cater to all needs. All-round an excellent nursery!

Overall Experience

I am so so glad I have chosen this nursery for my son. Friendly staff who really make sure my son is having an amazing time. My son has learnt a lot being here. If there are any improvements as a parent, you want for your child, they really work with the parent and voice any concerns in an extremely professional and friendly manner. The security is fantastic and there is someone near the door and safe security measures for your child. Excellent all round.

Overall Experience

I’m so thankful that we found Banana Moon! I have 2 children who attend 5 days a week. Our eldest is very shy and I was very worried about how he’d settle into this new setting (especially taking Covid into account) but the team have been amazing. I always feel kept up to date and that my child is being cared for very well in a clean, safe and stimulating environment.

Overall Experience

My nephew goes to Banana Moon and I must say it is such a lovely place, my sister was very apprehensive about him starting but it was very clear from his first day he had the most amazing time. From the little updates she gets about his day on the app and the wonderful themed days they do everything has been such an easy carefree process. He has made lots of little friends in the Mini Moons room and the staff have all been so wonderful! On the days I pick him up he’s always so happy and it’s quite a job to get him to leave. Thank you all for doing such an incredible job!

Review from Sheena V (Mother of Child) published on 8 April 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter who is age three joined here after relocating to Leicestershire in November. The nursery team have been great in helping her settle in, which she quickly did. The facilities are excellent, and the care the team take to get to know each child and their needs is clear. The nursery is really open to parent feedback, which is really welcomed, especially with them being new, and more importantly, they act to help improve their offering and your child's development. The parent app is brilliant, reassuring to see photos and updates and mark milestones. I would expect nothing but excellent service all around, with this being one of the more premium nurseries charging at the higher end of the scale. I can only see this nursery improve even further as they become more established.

Amazing nursery and a very good team! My daughters been attending here since January 2021, she settled straight in and absolutely loves it. She’s constantly talking about her lovely teachers, her friends and how busy she’s been all day. The parent app is fabulous, I get photo updates daily on what she’s been doing, eating and learning. The nursery is very well maintained, clean, spacious and full of toys! I would definitely recommend Banana Moon Day Nursery Hamilton to anyone. Keep up the good work!

Review from Nimisha M (Mother of Child) published on 12 February 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
So happy that we chose this nursery for our little boy. Being a first-time mum I was really nervous and didn't know what to really expect but all the staff are so friendly and helpful which eased my nerves of leaving my son in their care. We were allowed to view the nursery, and send our son in for a taster session which he enjoyed.
The parent app is amazing as at the end of each day we get a log of what has been happening throughout the day with photos of activities when he's had his lunch/dinner, when his nappy been changed, how long he sleeps for etc. This has put my mind at ease. You can also ring in throughout the day to check on how they getting along and the management and staff are very helpful as they will give you an update over the phone.

I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone, its only been a couple of days for my son but he seems to be loving it. Thank you, Banana Moon.

My nephew attends Banana Moon Day Nursery Hamilton full time I fully recommend this nursery to any parent. He benefits from different activities and enjoys all areas of the curriculum. He speaks fondly of all her ladies and has gone from being a shy child to a very confident one at pre-school. His eating habits improved a lot and I highly recommend this nursery.

Very caring and lovely staff. My daughter enjoys and loves going to Banana Moon Day Nursery Hamilton. The nursery is very well maintained and clean. The app is very good and I used to get day to day updates of my child with pictures. My daughter has made lots of friends. I am happy to send my daughter to nursery and feel that my child is in safe hands and secure whilst in Banana Moon Nursery, even in the current COVID-19 as the extra measures have been put in place.

My little girl started Banana Moon nursery in September 2020, with being a first-time mum I was so nervous and apprehensive on what to expect. All the staff was so friendly and helpful and eased my nerves of leaving my daughter. Banana Moon app through the day put my mind at ease, the photos are amazing as I can see she’s having a lovely time. Management are very helpful, no query is never too big or small. I would highly recommend this nursery to anybody. My little one runs in smiling and comes out smiling what more could I ask for.

Review from Matthew E (Father of Child) published on 9 November 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
So pleased we chose this nursery for our little girl. It’s a very scary thing letting your little one go into nursery for the first time but here they couldn’t have made it any better, we were allowed to view the nursery and send our little one in for a test session and she loved it. All the staff are brilliant and the app is fantastic. It keeps us up to date with what’s going on and we get photos of the day's activities and a log of lunch etc.
All the rooms are clean and the toys and activity stations are all up to date and kept at a high standard.
It’s a very safe and secure building with all the modern security you could ask for.

I would have no problem recommending this nursery to anyone and nor would our daughter who absolutely loves it there. Thanks Banana Moon.
