Description
Our nursery offers a very happy, nurturing, safe and welcoming environment, providing a good foundation for children to make the most of their abilities as they grow. We strongly believe that every child deserves the best possible start in life.
We have a wonderful team of well qualified and committed staff lead by Jayne, the Nursery Manager, all of whom work tirelessly to ensure that the children in our care reach their full potential.
Children are provided with learning experiences in a stimulating environment. Outdoors, the children engage in activities such as cultivating vegetables, fruit and flowers. They also enjoy the mud kitchen and a weekly football club. Some of our indoor activities include French, Dance classes and Signing Tots.
Our nursery cook provides our children with homemade, healthy, nutritious meals throughout the day, whilst the kitchen celebrates a 5 star food hygiene rating from the environmental health department.

September 1, 2024 at 1:42 pmTeam seem to rotate through the different classrooms quite a lot which I find may be unsettling for some of the kids. Team may be in Mini Moons one day and Baby Moons/Full Moons the day after and I think it’s confusing for kids. Apart from that a great childcare centre. Lovely childcare centre, incredible facilities.

September 13, 2024 at 6:02 pmTheir professionalism, assistance and understanding was second to none and we believe our boys are prepared to take the next step in their education. I can’t thank the team at Banana Moon Day Childcare centre enough for looking after our two little boys over the last two years.

September 26, 2024 at 2:16 amHe truly loves going and has grown so confident and learned lots. He has truly bonded with the team. He consistently eats all of the lovely meals they make. I would suggest Banana Moon to anyone as we have had a highly great journey with them. My son has been attending since he was 9 months old, he is 2 now.

October 25, 2024 at 9:54 amThe team are all a credit to the childcare centre. My daughter has loved every second and has grown so much with the help of all the team. She will miss you all. Incredible.

November 5, 2024 at 11:06 amMy issues are with the huge team turnover. No consistency, key workers constantly changing, no observations. I don’t know the name of who I hand my kid over to. Highly disappointed. My kid loves the setting and is highly cheerful here.

November 5, 2024 at 6:49 pmThe team are all truly great with him and I like the updates of what he has been up to that day on pick-ups. The childcare centre and team have done a lot of work both inside and outside to increase the range of activities they can do with the kids and regularly refresh the decor so it doesn’t become stale. The introduction of parent workshops on some key issues such as potty training have all been truly useful too! My son has consistently loved going to Banana Moon.

November 11, 2024 at 3:04 amHe had a rocky start but the team all worked truly hard to help settle him in. They worked with us to help make sure they knew his routine and the best way to settle him. He is consistently talking about Banana Moon and is so excited when it’s childcare centre day. He’s created some lovely relationships with the team and the other kids. Also can’t believe all the different foods he’s trying at childcare centre. It helped so much with his diet becoming more healthy. Can’t believe how much my little boy has progressed since starting.

November 18, 2024 at 1:23 amMy daughter has come on such a lot coming here, the team listen and the read-up at the end of the day is truly great to see what they have done and eaten. Couldn’t suggest it enough. Excellent childcare centre with excellent team.

December 9, 2024 at 5:18 pmAll the team are truly exceptional and I can’t wait for my other little boy to start when he’s older. Banana Moon Day Childcare centre Catterick Garrison has been incredible with my son, he has learnt so much and has made incredible friends.

December 23, 2024 at 7:38 pmChildcare centre practitioners are incredible with my son and also excellent listeners for me if I’m struggling. Management are incredible to give comfort to parents and carers when needed. I have never felt guilty or nervous leaving my son if he cries because I know as soon as he goes into his room he’s cheerful! My son joined when he was 2 into toddlers and the team were incredible, he loved going into their room as there was so much to do. Now in full moons as he’s 3 and cannot fault the team in his room, especially two members in particular. My son loves going in there as he loves to dance with them! The food is exceptional, a excellent mix of food and my son consistently eats everything! Thank you to everyone who is involved in my son’s care. He has incredible women in his life there and an incredible little friendship group! Lovely childcare centre with a homely sense to it.

March 22, 2025 at 7:16 pmThe team has consistently treated my kids with respect and kindness. My oldest still asks to visit Banana Moon and youngest is willing to go in at each drop-off. If I have a query the management are cheerful to help or find out the information that I need. My oldest went here and now my youngest does.
Elliot Flynn
April 22, 2025 at 12:00 amShe loves coming here and the childcare centre educators are incredible, compassionate and welcoming people. Would suggest any kid coming here. My daughter started at Banana Moon Day Childcare centre when she was 2 years old and has excelled in her discovering.
Jordan Bishop
April 28, 2025 at 6:37 pmSince my daughter has been at Banana Moon Day Childcare centre, she improved so much with her development, she will now hold her own cup and even eats meat and is more confident with people, one thing I adore is the connection her key person has with her and they go above and beyond to make sure she is secure and well looked after with her having epilepsy, they are consistently willing to sit down and discuss anything I am worried about with her development, it’s like having another family but still highly expert.

May 21, 2025 at 2:30 amTeam are consistently cheerful to answer any questions and my son loves all his educators.
Banana Moon is a excellent preschool and I highly suggest it. Highly cheerful, my son has made lots of friends and has learned a lot of skills.
