We couldn’t be happier our daughter attends banana moon sale. The staff are absolutely amazing — warm, caring, and genuinely dedicated to the children. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing she is in such capable and nurturing hands every day. She’s always provided with lovely, nutritious meals, and we love hearing about the engaging activities she takes part in. It’s clear that a lot of thought and effort goes into helping the children learn, play, and develop in a fun and supportive environment. Most importantly, our daughter has settled in so well and is always happy when she’s there, which says everything. We’ve seen her confidence grow, and it’s wonderful to know she feels safe and comfortable. We would highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a caring, professional, and enriching environment for their child.

I am very satisfied with Banana Moon Sale Nursery. Staff is very caring and supportive, they take care of my child properly. The most satisfying part is that my kid enjoys going to the Nursery. Thanks Rohit, Lisa, Neha, Catherine, Elif and whole staff for taking care of my kid and providing all the support.

The best day nursery ever! - NOT. My son came back covered in vomit and the staff members on site were not able to tell me why he was unwell when I dropped him off perfectly fine. Safeguarding HAZARDS

Banana Moon Sale is a fantasy nursery which offers a nurturing and fun environment. Both of my children have attended and I couldn’t be happier with the car they receive.
