Fantastic nursery, staff really do go above and beyond day in day out to ensure the best care is provided, my child started at 8 months old and has recently left for school at the age of 4. The app is always upto date with detailed explanations. If I ever have a query it is always answered to more than my expectations. Cannot recommend enough!

It’s my daughters last day at banana moon today. She has enjoyed her time there and developed a lot along her journey. She started in toddlers and now has finished pre school ready for big school in September. She’s made loads of friends during her time there and loves all the staff. She always comes back telling me about her day and what she has learned and really has enjoyed her time there. From my point of view as a parent I’ve never had a problem with the nursery and I’ve always got on with the staff they give good feedback and before covid-19 measures they always organised events for Mother’s Day Father’s Day Halloween Xmas, where parents can go in for a hour and take part into arts and crafts with the children before the end of the day and the children enjoy this. I’m glad I chose banana moon for my daughter she will miss the place loads.

All staffs are not the same, some of them genuinely care others not so much. And if there is an accident of any sorts, there is no one taking any accountability or responsibility, they try to hide information let it slide.
