January 15, 2021 at 12:00 amMy son has been attending Banana Moon since he was 6 months old! He has developed and gained so many skills. He is so happy when he is there and all the staff make his time there happy. He is happy and secure and has some lovely meals cooked for him – some would say he eats better than me!
The staff are a credit, are happy and always inform me of his development. The online diary is brilliant for me to check on him throughout the day.
The management team are happy and friendly and always resolve any queries quickly. Thank you.

January 21, 2021 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been attending Banana Moon since November 2018 and she has absolutely thrived in this supportive and happy environment. The staff in each room have offered exceptional care and she is very excited about joining the Pre-School room very soon!
The nursery offers a wide range of activities and the app helps to keep me updated on what she is doing throughout the day. Her achievements are always praised and her steps moving forward are always recognised and worked on with personalisation to suit her. The staff are friendly and approachable and show excellent knowledge in their field. The kitchen staff always provide wholesome home-cooked meals, which are varied and interesting.
The nursery has coped tremendously well responding to the COVID-19 pandemic and I have never felt that my child’s health has ever been at risk, such is the great care they take. Even though I don’t work in the Mere Green area anymore, I would never wish to send her anywhere else.

January 29, 2021 at 12:00 amWe were really lucky to find Banana Moon Mere Green at the start of the COVID pandemic. The whole team have been brilliant throughout. Excellent communications through these turbulent times, always keeping us informed and ensuring that they do everything they keep children attending and safe. Our daughter really enjoys her time in the pre-school room. A huge variety of activities keep her occupied – although she does report that it can get ‘too loud’ which we presume is because everyone is having lots of fun. Although the outside space is limited, the kids get an opportunity to run around every day and the make the most of the room they have. The use of the app helps us feel connected with what is going on in the nursery and it works really well.
Special mention to the cooks (who are known by name in our household). They not only seem to produce tasty and healthy meals but (by all accounts) engage with the kids and are really part of the team.
We appreciate all your work!

February 4, 2021 at 12:00 amBanana Moon Mere Green has looked after both our daughters who have moved through each of their rooms. The staff are caring and have built good bonds with our girls, and the communications via the app and conversations are detailed and helpful. The food provided on-site is great (ours prefer it to eating at home I think!) and there’s been a real range and depth to the activities that take place, no mean feat especially during Covid. Speaking of Covid the nursery has taken all necessary steps and is open as often and whenever it is able to.
I’d highly recommend the nursery.

May 28, 2021 at 12:00 amWe are really happy with the provision of care for our daughter and our son at Banana Moon Mere Green. They always come out beaming after fun-filled and varied days and we are happy that the menu offers them balanced and nutritious food. We are particularly encouraged by conversations we have with staff about our children: staff demonstrate a strong understanding of their characters which demonstrates the level of individual care and attention achieved. Whatever the additional needs presented by our children (e.g. teething phases/selective eating phases) the staff go out of their way to accommodate them and make them comfortable and they keep us well informed.

October 13, 2021 at 12:00 amMy daughter has just left the nursery to go to school. She still talks about the staff and says about how much she misses them. This says it all! Fantastic nursery. Only good things to say and highly recommend it. The staff are excellent, so caring, friendly and fun. Lovely food as well!

October 13, 2021 at 12:00 amMy son loves his nursery and has so much fun, as we see from the updates on the diary. He’s now becoming a lot more confident around people and more out of his shell! The staff have always been really nice with us as parents and with my son.

October 14, 2021 at 12:00 amMy son has just moved into the toddler room from the baby room and my daughter also attended the setting. We are absolutely delighted with the service provided. It is an extremely organised nursery and all of the staff are lovely and caring.
My son is always happy to go in and the staff really know his personality. He has really come along since he started attending.
Parents are kept updated on the children’s activities and the standard of food provided is excellent.
My daughter has just started school and the staff made sure she was ready for the transition.
A lovely nursery and I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

May 17, 2022 at 12:00 amMy daughter started nursery at 4-months at Banana Moon; she’s now 6-months old. She beams every time we walk into the baby room. The staff are really attentive and take really good care of her; they also update you on the app during the day with photos and what she has eaten, so useful. The manager on our first visit went above and beyond with our question list and took the time to really answer them. Couldn’t recommend them more.

May 17, 2022 at 12:00 amI am so pleased that I chose Banana Moon Nursery for my son. The staff are amazing. I am always kept updated throughout the day as to how he’s getting, on and most importantly, my son loves going to nursery. He is already learning so much, and I cannot be thankful enough to all the staff at Banana Moon. I would most definitely recommend Banana Moon to all parents looking for a nursery!

May 17, 2022 at 12:00 amLove location, in house kitchen and opening hours personally and friendly professional staff.
All three of my children attended the nursery at different ages across three rooms.
Lots to play and various activities during the whole day alongside the early learning curriculum.

May 17, 2022 at 12:00 amI have one child currently in babymoon, and another child who attended preschool last year. Both children have absolutely loved Banana Moon Mere Green and have really been cared for and looked after. The staff are friendly, considerate and understanding of individual children’s needs. The play and learning activities help child development, and staff encourage continued learning. The meals and snacks are nutritious and homemade as both children have loved the food at nursery! The app is a great way of keeping updated on activities during the day with photos and key moments, which is lovely. I highly recommend Banana Moon Mere Green, and thanks to all the staff for the great organisation.

May 18, 2022 at 12:00 amMy son has been going to Banana Moon for about 7-months. He is in the baby room where they do lots of different activities to suit the baby’s age. The app is brilliant with photos loaded on a daily basis as well as information on meals, nappy changes and nap times. The management team are also great and responds quickly to questions and queries via email. Overall, we’re really happy with Banana Moon Mere Green.

May 20, 2022 at 12:00 amMy daughter really enjoys nursery, and I have noticed a real change in her confidence, speech and general milestones. She’s been at Banana Moon for a while now and has created some great relationships with staff and peers in her group. I must say she loves her food, and two members of staff, I could not speak higher of! They are amazing!

August 8, 2022 at 12:00 amGreat nursery, lots of interesting activities for little ones, attentive management and welcoming staff. We have experienced baby room, toddlers and preschool, there are lots of children so lots going on. Would recommend if you want your child to experience a larger setting to prepare them for school too.

February 3, 2023 at 12:00 amMy grandson has come on leaps and bounds being at Banana Moon Mere Green, since 6 months old. The staff have played a huge part in him becoming such an independent little boy. He absolutely loves going to see his friends every day. I would highly recommend them.

They take security seriously and the food is of great quality. It’s easy to stay in touch with their app. Highly recommend.

February 8, 2023 at 12:00 amThe staff are all so lovely, really kind and helpful. My daughter loves attending her days at Banana Moon. She has plenty of fun activities to do and loves interacting with the other children.
The food is excellent, a great choice and lots of healthy snacks during the day.
The staff are really passionate about my daughter’s development.

February 8, 2023 at 12:00 amThe baby room has incredibly caring and knowledgeable early-year professionals working alongside other staff in the room. The caring team is creative and hard-working. My little boy has learnt so much! Great own kitchen onsite. The baby room has a separate sleeping room with cots which is another point that stands them apart from other nurseries. The nursery occupies a purpose-built building which provides great indoor space, rather than lounge size rooms I have seen in other nurseries. Personally important to me that shoes are taken at the door before entering the baby room.

August 18, 2023 at 12:00 amThis is my second child at Banana Moon and just like my first experience, this has been excellent. The staff are warm and friendly and knowledgeable. The nursery is light and bright and stimulating for little ones. The atmosphere is really lovely, the food options are fabulous. My daughter has settled in well and come on leaps and bounds thanks to all the hard-working staff. Highly recommend, fab nursery.
