We couldn't be happier with this nursery.
One thing we really appreciate is how spacious and well-organised the baby room is. It's not something you often find, and it makes such a difference. There's plenty of room for the little ones to explore, play and move around safely without feeling
crowded.
From the very beginning, they made our son feel safe and welcomed.
He is always excited and happy to go in each day, which really shows the nurturing environment they create.
What truly stands out is how kind and warm the team are - they are always smiling and welcoming, even at the end of what must be a very busy and demanding day. Their positive energy and genuine care never seem to fade, and that means so much to us as parents.
We are so grateful to have found such a wonderful nursery and couldn't recommend it more highly.

We couldn't be happier with this nursery. The care, attention and fun activities they provide are amazing. We receive daily updates through the app and weekly feedback on milestones, which is so reassuring. We're always welcome to visit and are often invited to events, which makes us feel really
involved.
The best part is how excited my daughter is to go every day. She knows all her teachers by name and they truly feel like family to her. She enjoys the food (she talks about it at home!) and has already learned to read and write at her preschool level.
A wonderful team doing a fantastic job - thank you!

My daughter loves being at nursery, enjoying the staff and other children's company. Their app is very good for keeping up to date with my daughter's activities and talking to staff directly if need be.
They have a variety of activities and I can see my daughter learning and growing rapidly.
I
trust the staff with her wellbeing and education. I highly recommend this nursery to other parents.

A fantastic, nurturing nursery whose friendly and welcoming staff have done a fantastic job of looking after both of my girls - a 3 year old, still in attendance and previously my (now) 8 year old.
Both of them love(d) going each day and it really set them up for the next step in their education.
Excellent range of facilities and activities, including a number of educational external provider visits. I couldn't be happier.
Thank you Banana Moon and of course the staff!

My daughter has recently joined banana moon. Along with her brother who's been there nearly 2 years. She's 16 months and born with a rare condition which affects her feeding. The nursery and all the staff have been very accommodating and understanding. They have really taken care of her and
followed through what exact care she needs. They have great facilities and education strategies for the children and staff are fantastic. I have never had a bad word to say about Banana moon they have been outstanding.

My daughter has attended Banana Moon for 14 months, joining just before she turned one. She has loved her time in both the Teenie Moons and Minnie Moons rooms!
In Teenie Moons, she had lots of sensory play, a safe space to crawl and explore, and structured activities to support her movement and
vocabulary development. She was well cared for, and I could see the team bonding with her and understanding her needs.
Now, in Minnie Moons, she's thriving, gaining confidence and independence. The team offers stimulating activities that expand her understanding of the world and grow her vocabulary. She also enjoys messy play, which is great as it saves us doing it at home! I like they have a focus on outdoor time, and that she is so happy there some days she doesn't want to leave! We're very happy with her care, and all the staff are friendly and capable. I would (and have!) recommended Banana Moon to others.

I can't recommend Banana Moon Day Nursery St Albans highly enough! My daughter has thrived in such a warm and nurturing environment. The staff are genuinely caring and attentive, making every child feel special.
The blend of structured activities and creative play keeps her excited to learn, and I
love hearing about her day when she comes home. Communication is excellent, and I feel truly involved in her progress.

I love Banana Moon St Albans. My son has been there for a year and has had brilliant care and loves going to nursery.
Settling somewhere new can be really difficult, but the staff spent lots of time reassuring, cuddling and bringing him out of himself.
The staff are so kind, and because it is a
small nursery, my son and I know all the staff and lots of the children across the different rooms and feel really at home and a part of the nursery community. I think this will really help him transition smoothly to his next room.
I love the special events the nursery has, especially when a company come to visit with animals for the children to see and engage with.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Banana Moon to anyone starting or continuing childcare.

My child is so happy at the nursery. The staff always make sure he is happy and they guide him with all of his milestones. He often talks about his happy experiences with his brother at home. Thank you for all of your support.
29 November 2023
My daughter has been attending since September 2023. Her confidence has grown so much and she thoroughly enjoys the activities they do each day.
It took my daughter a little while to adjust when she first started, to a new surrounding and new people. However, the staff have been brilliant with
helping her settle in and she enjoys it so much.
21 November 2023
My daughter has been attending Banana Moon since she was 10 months old and within the space of three to four months she has progressed so amazingly. The staff here are always so welcoming and lovely towards myself and the children. Looking forward to spending the next few years with them all and
seeing my daughter progress even more!

Our son has been attending Banana Moon Day Nursery for a couple of months now. The standard of care is excellent and the staff are incredible - fun and caring. The app allows us to see loads of highlights of our son's day and we can see how much nursery has helped his development even in such a
short time.

I am very happy with our choice of nursery, the staff are all very caring and professional. I have seen my daughter's confidence grow so much since she has been at Banana Moon, she is always talking about the activities she has taken part in, the staff and all of the friends she has made. My
daughter is always so happy to come in to nursery. The nursery is always so clean and tidy.
13 September 2022
I could not be happier with my choice of nursery for my 14-month-old daughter. The premises are clean, bright and airy. There is outdoor space which is securely fenced in. The children do appropriate and fun activities every day. The staff are all wonderful and it is clear to see how dedicated they
are to the children. My daughter loves all the staff she spends time with at the nursery and they always greet the parents with a smile and a full debrief on how the day has gone. The food looks and smells delicious. I like the app and look forward to receiving updates and photos at the end of each day. The fees are the most reasonable I have come across in the area (although you provide your own wipes and nappies - which still works out less expensive than other places). Overall it has been a really positive experience to send my daughter to this nursery which has made the transition much smoother for us as a family. Thank you.

Our son loves going to nursery at Banana Moon. We have found that his development has come on leaps and bounds since starting at nursery 2 days per week. He regularly comes back with new words he has learned and we can see the difference in the way that he interacts and plays, which is great to see!
14 July 2021
The staff have been amazing. They are very caring and very welcoming. The Nursery is fantastic, it's so spacious for young children. During the time that my child has been at this pre-school, he has learnt a lot and beaming with confidence.

This is the first nursery my daughter is going to, and she is almost 4. She started about a month back, and she had a hard time starting the nursery, given that she was at home with me for four years. The management and all the staff were super helpful in settling her and giving her comfort.
Everyone was super helpful and understanding during a hard time. She is now more than happy to go there every day, and I'm delighted to send her to Banana Moon since I'm sure she is in good hands.

Wonderful nursery. Amazing, attentive teachers. My son is excited to go to school every day! Teachers wonderful at communicating my son’s experience at school and any needs. Very flexible and open communication.
21 May 2021
Our daughter loves going to Banana Moon. She’s champing at the bit in the mornings to get out of the door if she knows she’s going there.
The updates we receive about what she does while she’s there are fantastic and the word she mostly uses, once she gets home, is fun.
The staff are all wonderful
and we know she’s receiving lots of care and attention. The admin is great and emails are always professional and informative. We wish it had been open when our son was little and we can’t rate it highly enough!
