Banana Moon Day Nursery Bridge of Don

Banana Moon is our little man's second home and we love seeing the pictures and hearing the stories of what happened that day when we pick him up... after he's finished eating his car sweeties.

Absolutely amazing nursery! We had a very bad, (I would even say traumatic) experience with a nursery in England so I was very scared that my daughter will never settle in Banana Moon. When she attended the previous nursery, she was waking up many times during the night crying and begging us not to send her there. Also, she was crying in the evening and morning when she knew she was meant to go there. This took over a month and a half almost. After 5 days in Banana Moon nursery she is settled, and happy to go to nursery, she doesn't cry and even wants to go on Saturday and Sunday. For me, as a mother, this says a lot about the nursery and its staff. I am delighted with the work ethic and attitude of all staff in the nursery. They are the most amazing, caring and kind people who are doing their jobs over 100% every day. I want to specifically speak about the nursery manager, who goes above and beyond to accommodate and help to make the nursery a second home for every single child.

Fantastic nursery - very stimulating and nurturing environment. My son has thrived since attending Banana Moon - the staff are incredibly caring, he has learned lots of new skills and the staff are excellent at keeping me up to date with key issues/events/changes.

Banana Moon Day Nursery Bridge of Don is well organised and all staff are full of compassion and knowledge. Love the photographs on social media. The outside play area is ideal for young minds to play and explore.

Our baby has been attending the nursery since she was 7 months old. Despite the anxiety of leaving the baby with other people at a very young age, the Banana Moon Day Nursery Bridge of Don team helped at every step to make sure this anxiety is not justified. And it surely worked. Our baby is thriving and she has been involved in so many activities that otherwise would have been impossible: sensory plays, outdoor time, etc. Her development and progress are amazing. I would highly recommend the nursery. Thank you Banana Moon Day Nursery Bridge of Don team!

Our baby joined at 7-months. We've made our decision after looking into five nurseries with great reviews. The team here made us feel like they will approach safety, care, food and education for our baby as they would for a loved member of their own family. It's been 10-months, and we are convinced we made the right choice. From day one, they have invested time, energy, patience, talent and care to stick to her routine and to help her grow healthy, happy and confident. Our baby is thriving. Last but not least important, when I found it emotionally difficult for me to leave our baby with other people, albeit professionals, the entire team showed me patience and empathy and helped me navigate that new phase. Thank you, all of you, in Banana Moon Day Nursery Bridge of Don.

Banana Moon Bridge of Don is fantastic! The staff are so friendly and go over and above to make you feel like you are part of a family, not just a nursery. My son is thriving thanks to the dedication and hard work that the staff put in and he is such a happy little boy, full of smiles when we come to pick him up at the end of the day. I have had no worries whatsoever about leaving my son, even from day one. The staff work very hard to stick to our son's usual routine, despite him sometimes having a mind of his own when it comes to sleeping I am always reassured by the staff members of their efforts and have complete faith in them. He gets three meals as well as snacks during the day so I do not need to worry about planning dinner or feeding him after a long day's work in the office. He gets lovely nutritious meals and I am kept updated on what he has eaten throughout the day through the parent app along with lovely photos of what he has been up to. Can’t recommend it enough!

I am so happy I chose Banana Moon Bridge of Don for my child, the whole team are so friendly which makes it so much easier to leave my child in their care.

My son attends this nursery, and I don’t have a bad word to say. The manager always goes above and beyond to accommodate and help us, especially through the pandemic. My son loves it and always has a great day. The hours are also fantastic! I would highly recommend Banana Moon.

When it came time to put my son into nursery I had researched and enquired about a few in the area and everything pointed to Banana Moon being the right one for us. From the viewing of the nursery, we could tell the manager had such a passion for her job and making the nursery a great place for the children. Since my son has started the practitioners in his room have made him, and us, feel like we have always been there. They are always so excited to see him in the mornings and he happily goes to them as he knows how much fun they have. I love getting updates and pictures through the day to see the fun activities he has done, and how well he is fed, and when I pick him up they tell me about how he has been that day. For a mother who is uneasy with anyone else looking after their child, Banana Moon has made this transition a lot easier and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to any parent. Thank you for looking after my boy so well Banana Moon.

I was also really impressed by the app service and it was lovely to receive pictures and hear what the children had been learning each day making for great talking points at bath time.

We had to move nurseries because our previous nursery didn't have space for us in the next room up, why were we not at Banana Moon Day Nursery Bridge of Don sooner. This nursery is amazing. The way the staff nurture and care for my daughter sets this nursery apart. This is reflected in the attention and thoughtfulness that the team have in developing so many learning opportunities through fun and play. We've only been at the nursery since the recent easing of restrictions and we see a massive difference in our daughter. She is confident, progressing academically, socially and generally living her best life. The nursery is a great environment with play outdoors and indoors, fantastic menus and home-cooked food and the ap, which gives us a rundown of the day is fantastic! We love seeing the photos and updates.

I currently have two children enrolled at Banana Moon, I had to move my 2-year-old from another nursery as they couldn't accommodate a change in work days. I was worried about settling 2 children into a new establishment but I needn't have worried. My little girl instantly loved Banana Moon and asks me daily if she is going to her 'new nursery' that day. My little boy who had never done any baby classes and minimal time away from me due to covid took a little more convincing but the team were so encouraging, patient and now he too also goes in without looking back. Banana Moon make going to work easy as I know both of my children love their time there. I absolutely love looking at their diaries in the evening and seeing what they've learned and experienced that day. Would not hesitate to recommend the nursery to anyone looking for the best childcare!

Choosing Banana Moon was the best decision for my little girl, couldn’t recommend them more

We have had a great experience from the start with this nursery. Any questions are answered promptly and my daughter absolutely loves it. The staff I have met are so lovely. I love that there is an app to show what your little one has eaten throughout their day. My daughter was very fussy but has started to eat new foods which we can now give her out with nursery. I would happily recommend this nursery to anyone.

Our daughter has been attending Banana Moon for a few months now and has settled in very quickly. The facilities are great and there are plenty of activities every day. The outdoor space is safe and has lots of different toys. I particularly like the app that provides updates daily of food that’s been eaten as well as activities and photos. The food is great too and all homemade, my daughter loves it and the menu is issued the week before. All of the staff have been very welcoming and I’ve had great interaction with all of them. I’d happily recommend this nursery to other parents.

Cannot rate Banana Moon Bridge of Don highly enough. Especially under the current circumstances. All staff and management are lovely and excellent with my son. He adores all of the staff and going to nursery. All the staff are happy and professional and everything is well thought out.

My little girl has recently started. She absolutely loves it and always been so happy and excited about going to the nursery. The Manager and her team are amazing, friendly, helpful, kind and caring with the children. Thank you so much for the very warm welcome and we are delighted to join Banana Moon. The outdoor play was amazing, she is really enjoying it. All the activities organised are keeping her busy and has fun while learning. The App was so helpful, the daily section from the App are great as it is always nice to see what she has been doing during the day. There is very good communication between home and nursery. Highly recommended.

Highly recommend, my little one can’t wait to get out of the car when we pull up to the nursery. Great staff, meal choices and communication. Especially love that they have the dog join on certain days which has many benefits. Happy to have chosen Banana Moon to take care of my son.

The staff working here are amazing. The member of staff, who I have had most dealings with, is so approachable and helpful with whatever query or question I have had. Having two children happy and excited to go to the nursery here says it all. The staff have been helping the kids improve on certain skills to prepare them for school. They also take into consideration what the kids favourite activities are and incorporate learning into their play. I would highly recommend this nursery and already have recommended to friends who live nearby. Keep up the amazing work you all do.
