My daughter attends this nursery school and I am very happy with the care and support she receives. The staff are warm, professional and welcoming, and they handle everything so well. I really appreciate the way they communicate with parents and create a safe, friendly and encouraging environment for the children. My daughter enjoys going to nursery, and I feel confident knowing she is in good hands. I would happily recommend this nursery to other parents.

Review from Cynthia B (Grandmother of Child) published on 11 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I have the pleasure of bringing my grandchildren to this nursery from the moment you walk through the door the office staff are always smiling and welcoming. Then taking my grandchildren into the rooms. One child gets quite upset but his key worker is there to welcome him in and gives lots of cuddle before he's off playing. Staff are very attentive to each child's individual needs.

Overall Experience

My daughter started Banana moon in April at 9 months old. She has settled into the Baby Moons room so well. The care received from staff is amazing. We are so happy with the staff and the effort they have put in to help my daughter settle in and get her into a routine. We are greeted with a friendly smile from all staff at pick ups and drop offs. Staff are amazing at keeping the app up to date throughout the day and communication is absolutely perfect. The nursery is very clean and modern. Thankyou to Banana moon team for all your hard work and effort. Highly recommend trusted nursery.

We've been sending our one year old daughter to this nursery for four months, and she loves it there. She settled in quickly and has built a great relationship with her key person. We're regularly reassured through lots of daily updates, and the staff are always responsive and available for a chat. We highly recommend!

Review from Sally M (Mother of Child) published on 18 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter started at Baby Moons in April and as a first time mum I didn't know how I would find it. The staff have made this a very happy transition in our maternity/going back to work life. The nursery is very clean, welcoming and staff are always so friendly. We are kept up to date with the app which has been brilliant and receiving photos makes me feel like I'm not missing out so much. Staff make such a conscious effort to replicate our routine/likes etc. The food she is given is delicious and the care she receives is 10/10. I'm in a large antenatal group and all the mums have found something negative with their nurseries. I cannot say the same. So happy we chose Banana Moon. I viewed several places and as soon as I met Dalraj and she showed me round, I knew this was the right place for us. Feel very lucky to have this so close by. Big thank you to everyone in the Baby Moon room, you do a fantastic job.

Reply from Paige Wilson, Nursery Manager at Banana Moon Day Nursery Littleover

Thank you for such a glowing review! We're so glad you're happy with the service we provide, from the meals to the daily updates. Your daughter is settling in brilliantly, and I'll pass along your kind words to the staff in the Baby Room! :)

Overall Experience
Both of my daughters have attended the nursery since 2020 and I think that is testament to how happy I have been with the level of care provided.

My child who currently attends looks forward to going to nursery and speaks fondly of the staff and her friends. Activities are engaging and I my child is encouraged to develop ideas and participate. The nursery is also incredibly clean and safe. Communications are also excellent and I am well informed about my child's day and important notices.

What can I say? Beautiful experience. Very competent and caring staff.
The whole organisation and also the typical day is based on the child's needs and this made the child feel very comfortable and it is a joy for us as parents to see our child happy to go to the nursery every day.
Regarding the activities, there is always something new, different feelings every day.

Congratulations! 5 stars on everything!

My child has been going to Banana Moon Nursery for over 2 years now and I am very happy with the care and consideration they take when looking after my daughter. She loves going and I feel that's a great way to tell if it's a good environment. In addition to this, I feel the staff are very professional, approachable and more than happy to help with any questions I may have. I would recommend this nursery to any parent who wants their child to flourish on a day to day basis with caring knowledgeable staff.

Review from L B (Mother of Child) published on 21 February 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter has been going to Banana Moon Day Nursery Littleover for around 2 years now!
She really settled at the nursery and the staff have been amazing. I feel my daughter has built great bonds with various staff, and they have been able to key into her interests. She has come on leaps and bounds since being in nursery and I couldn't be happier with the setting.
The manager is a fantastic manager and has great communication. I feel she is approachable and has a great care for the children.
One staff member in particular is my daughter's key person and she really takes the time to understand her needs and support her development.
Her feedback is always detailed and I can see how she has a great bond with my daughter.
I wouldn't hesitate in recommending the nursery!

Thank you.

Reply from Dalraj Basi, Nursery Manager at Banana Moon Day Nursery Littleover

Thank you for your lovely review. I will pass your feedback on to the staff, especially your child's key person, who will be thrilled to hear this amazing feedback.

I like most parents was nervous sending my little one to nursery but Banana Moon has made it an easy and informative transition. The updates daily and the messaging options are fantastic which means I can ask questions about my little one and receive responses promptly. The staff have been so welcoming and are amazing with my little one. His key worker has been amazing as well as other staff. He loves all of them! They always make me feel at ease leaving my little one in their care. Couldn't praise the staff and the nursery enough! So happy we chose this nursery for my baby's journey.
