The app is also fab for parents, the updates on her activities are great, and we love that we are able to see what she has been doing during her sessions.
Thank you for the lovely review! We're so happy that your daughter enjoys her time with us and that you enjoy the updates sent on the Parent App!
Couldn’t recommend the ladies here any more! Finding a nursery in a pandemic was never going to be easy but my mind was put at ease from the first phone call. After seeing the nursery and meeting the staff it was an easy decision to send my daughter to this amazing nursery. The app is a god send and gives you regular updates all day so you can see what they are up to. I love the golden moments feature and feel like I don’t miss out, even though I’m at work. If you are looking for a nursery, this is the one!
Thank you so much for the brilliant review - we're so happy that your daughter enjoys her time with us at Banana Moon and that you don't feel like you're missing out at work with the updates you receive on the Parent app!
Our daughter is really happy there and has a great connection with her 'Key Person', all the staff are very friendly and professional. We are well informed of her activities throughout the day, kept up to date with seasonal themes and news via the brilliant app. The development plan is thorough and reviewed on a regular basis with 'Golden Moments' being highlighted when achieved. The building is secure and there are comprehensive policies in place, alleviating any safety concerns. We can't recommend them enough! Thank you all.
Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We are so happy that your daughter is happy with us at Banana Moon, and we're glad that you're enjoying the Parent App!
When you drop off and collect your grandson and he is happy going in and full of chatter about his day when he leaves, you know its the right place. My grandson is growing from strength to strength both socially and developmentally since coming to Banana Moon. He loves it there. Highly recommend.
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're really happy that your grandson enjoys his time with us.
