I can’t recommend this nursery enough! My 9 month old son has attended since January and as a first time, nervous mom, they have gone above and beyond to ease my mind and make me feel comfortable about the entire process. The staff and managers are easy to speak to, knowledgeable and caring. The baby moon room is a wonderfully large, stimulating space and my son loves it there! Thanks for everything!

I have both my children in this nursery. My two year old daughter and now my 7 month old son. I am very grateful to the staff, when my daughter entered the nursery at 2 years old, she didn't eat anything, I had a bad experience in another nursery so she only wanted to eat sweets all day. They have really done a good job with her. They also helped me with potty training, awesome! They always keep us up to date with what the children are doing during the day and do lots of daily activities with them to keep them stimulated. Thank you very much for the support :)

We love Banana Moon for our daughter, I couldn't imagine her being anywhere else! She's been there for about 7 months now and has always been excited to get inside - she even shuts the door on me sometimes. I always miss her during the days but I feel better knowing she feels so comfortable there. Thank you to all the staff as well; you're all amazing!
