Review from Mags C (Mother of Child) published on 6 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Bananamoon International has been an outstanding nursery, and I would highly recommend it to any parent looking for a safe, nurturing, and genuinely caring environment.
We have had two children attend Bananamoon International and the care and nurture they have received has been exceptional. Our child goes into nursery happily, without getting upset, because they feel truly cared for - something we sadly did not experience at a previous nursery. The nursery provides substantial, well-balanced meals and ensures the children have plenty of time to play outdoors, which has been fantastic for their health, wellbeing, and confidence. The nursery is clean, bright and engaging.

I would like to give special thanks to the manager and assistant manager. They know the children as individuals, and have created a warm, welcoming atmosphere where children can thrive. They have also carefully chosen a great team of staff, particularly the room leaders and the team in the baby room.

Banana moon Aberdeen international is the most perfect setting for our baby girl. The level of care she receives is amazing and she shows so much love to the staff which is clearly reciprocated. Her development has come along very well since attending and she always has a smile on her face when she is there. We get excellent updates each day and the room is beautiful.

We couldn't be happier with the care our daughter receives at Banana Moon International. The staff have a such a positive approach and truly go above and beyond to support her individual development and well-being. It is clear how much they care for the children, and the great facilities provide such a stimulating and safe environment for her to learn and play. She is always so excited to go to nursery each day and see the staff and her friends!

Overall Experience

Our son loves it at the Banana Moon International Dyce! Always super excited when he gets there and so happy at the end of the day. The teachers are super lovely and love him to bits and care for him. He has grown to love it so much that we wouldn't even consider taking him out for any reason. He has learnt and developed so much from being there and gained so much. Amazing place to send your child if you can.

Review from M G (Mother of Child) published on 25 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Fantastic setting, excellent communication with parents. Our son loves coming to the nursery, loves spending time with his friends there. He always tells us all about the things he enjoys doing at the nursery each day; going in the garden, playing with play dough, he loves the sandpit. He likes all of the ladies who look out for the children, but is particularly fond of Katya and Lisa, who are just so lovely. We cannot wait until our younger son starts nursery with Banana Moon International :)

Review from O J (Mother of Child) published on 16 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son has started about 6 weeks ago and so far I have nothing but praise. The ladies have been amazing at keeping me updated of his activities and are all very friendly and approachable. During drop off and pick it it never feels rushed and I get given a very detailed handover.
Settle sessions run very smoothly and they try their best to accommodate your availability. I have heard other nurseries only do a couple hour settle session before starting yet banana moon does half day which helped put my mind at ease to know he is settled.

Overall I'd recommend the nursery, food options are great and staff is amazing.

Banana Moon International is genuinely the best nursery we have come across and they have the most caring and kind staff. I don't know where my little girl would be without them! Because of the staff there, my autistic daughter is coming on leaps and bounds and it is very evident how happy she is to attend nursery and see all her new friends. I can't thank them enough.

Our daughter has been going to Banana Moon since summer and she loves it there. The staff are always friendly and caring. Our daughter's development has progressed really well and the nursery staff are really inventive at coming up with new activities for her to learn in a fun way. Communication via the app is really good and we enjoy seeing photos of her enjoying her day.

My son has been attending Banana Moon Day Nursery International since he was one. The nursery staff have been amazing with him and have helped shaped his character. He loves each of them and enjoys going in in the mornings. He has developed a lot and they have helped with his speech and learning. He enjoys all the extra activities they do and parent engagement is wonderful and very inclusive.

Overall Experience

We have loved the nursery experience. Our little boy is so precious to us and leaving him with new people is obviously a little nervy. However, to see how much he is loved and adored each day makes us so reassured and happy. Love the app so much to savour all his nursery memories each day and love that we can save them for ourselves. We can't wait to see him grow and learn over the next few years.

My daughter has been attending Banana Moon Day Nursery International since August 2024 from the age of one. I cannot fault her time at the nursery and the staff are amazing. The staff in the baby room are so kind and caring towards my daughter and have created a close bond. The app the nursery has to keep parents up to date is brilliant and allows me to see what my daughter is doing throughout the day.

100% would recommend.

My son has been provided with quality care for the last 2.5 years since joining at 6 months old. The staff genuinely care about the children and do all they can to make their care experience as rich, impactful, considered and tailored to their personalities as possible.
Engagement with parents is excellent.

I am so proud of the person my child is growing into and I am grateful to the team here for their part in this.

Review from Zoey H (Mother of Child) published on 5 February 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter started at Banana Moon International in October and I was very worried about how she would settle due to her being really clingy to me and unsure about going with anyone that she is unfamiliar with, but the staff have really helped her come out of her shell and settle in to the nursery. They have been good at putting my mind at ease by updating pictures of how she is in nursery and all the staff seem really caring and lovely.
