My son has been attending Banana Moon for 9 months and he is so happy there, and so are we with them. It feels like a second home to him. All of the staff are so nurturing and supportive and they provide him with so much care, attention and positivity. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a nursery in the area as I feel very lucky to have found such a wonderful and happy environment for my son.

Our son attended here (mini moons) for about six months. The only reason he's now left is because of moving out of the area. The staff were always friendly and helpful. Our son had a great time attending.
