This review is way overdue but it’s better late than never. My daughter attended banana moon for over a year and I couldn’t be more grateful to Kathleen and the entire team for looking after our little one. She has special needs and the team were very patient with her and they were able to individualise her care according to her needs. Had we not moved outside London, our little one would probably still attending this setting. We would highly recommend Banana moon.
