Banana Moon Day Nursery Chipping Norton

We were truly hesitant to send our son to childcare centre, but he has thrived here. He absolutely loves all the team, he loves the friends that he has made and he truly enjoys the time he has there. His favourite thing is the muddy mornings, something that has recently been introduced and is excellent.
The manager and the team consistently listen to any concerns that we have regarding our son and consistently respect our wishes. He also has multiple food sensitivities, they are highly great with him making sure he is never left out. Banana Moon is just fantastic.

Most days she can’t even remember to say goodbye as she is so keen to get in!
All the team are incredible and lovely to have a conversation with, even when you want to talk through the silliest little things!
The amount of different activities they do is astonishing, I don’t know how they come up with half the ideas and consistently have something planned!
I am also slightly jealous of the things I see my daughter has been eating throughout the week, they are spoilt!
Thank you Banana Moon team, you are more of a third parent than a childcare centre! My daughter adores coming to this childcare centre.

I moved him from a childcare centre that I felt wasn’t paying him enough attention and I expressed this when we joined. It was the best decision that I made. He has been so cheerful, treated with attention and care and has been provided with the tools to smoothly move to school in September. I cannot thank Banana Moon enough for the time they have spent with him.
Along with the attention they have given him, the childcare centre itself is well structured and thought-out with multiple ideas and activities in place. My son has been going to Banana Moon Day childcare centre for 14 months now.

The team know him and work to help him grow to be the best that he can be. I’m truly cheerful with my son’s development there and I know that when he’s there that he is in a secure, supportive atmosphere and is being cared for. And he gets two proper hot meals a day, breakfast and snacks which is a real game-changer! Not all heroes wear capes! My son has been going for over a year now and the assistance he’s been offered during the year of lockdown has been invaluable to his development.

We couldn’t be happier with the level of care that is given. The app is fabulous, every visit we get a peek into what they have been up to, consistently enjoyable and inventive games and discovering. They consistently have time outside playing too. My son and daughter thoroughly delight in childcare centre and never hesitate to walk in! Their speech and self‑assurance are growing and they have both surprised us with how comfortable they are leaving us for the afternoon, considering they have had hardly any social interaction with other adults or kids due to lockdown.
Meals are excellent! Team are fantastic. All round, positive and cheerful journey for my kids but also makes us sense highly cheerful and content as new parents. My 19-month-old twins started at Banana Moon a few months ago now.

The amount of messy playtime and sensory playtime there is. It’s off the charts compared to other places we looked at.
My little wizard comes home every time with a smile on his face and can’t wait to go back the next day. If only they were open at weekends too! Words can’t express enough how great Banana Moon is.

He loves going to childcare centre. The educators are compassionate, patient, welcoming and have so many fantastic and creative ideas of ways to help the kids learn and delight in playing and socialising. There is such a enjoyable, cheerful atmosphere and my son is consistently coming home demonstrating new skills he has learnt there. The educators provide a daily diary and plenty of feedback at pickup too. They are consistently cheerful to answer questions and help with anything that your kid needs. Would highly suggest. My son joined Banana Moon when he turned 3 years old in March last year.

As a first-time Mum, I was truly nervous about my son starting childcare centre, but Banana Moon was incredibly understanding and highly great at talking things through and giving me plenty of reassurances. They shared lots of feedback during the day whilst my son was settling in – exactly what I needed to sense confident he was being well taken care of, and if he was having a tough day they would let me know and we would decide together what to do. Three months in he is having a fantastic time and as parents, we are thrilled that we found the right childcare centre. He’s consistently babbling away in the car on the way home so I know he’s having a excellent time and he’s discovering new words and new dance moves every week! Adore the daily diary reports and pictures that come through at the end of the day, consistently a highlight of our evening. Would fully suggest Banana Moon Chipping Norton! Our little boy joined in Oct when he was 16 months old.

The team are lovely and genuinely seem to delight in spending time with the kids and my son has grown exceptionally attached to a couple of them in particular which is truly lovely to see. We’ve seen enormous development in him since he started – he’s more confident and has developed skills that we then see at home. They spend lots of time outside as well as participating in messy playtime (both outdoors and in). There’s also a strong emphasis on making sure their food is nutritious and varied.
We had a period last autumn where he was truly unwell and in and out of the childcare centre and the team were so accommodating and supportive which made our lives much easier at a highly difficult time. They helped him to settle back in and it was hugely reassuring for us to know that he was being well looked after.
We’re so pleased we chose Banana Moon and wouldn’t hesitate to suggest it. They truly have been exceptional and we’re so grateful. My son started here in June 2021 at 13 months old and we couldn’t be happier.

Being our first kid and having never been away from us he soon settled in with help from the experienced team who also knew how hard it is for parents and would keep us updated in the early days with phone calls and messages (reassuring touch).
We truly delight in reading the diary to see what our boy has been up to along with the pictures they capture throughout the day.
It’s been incredible seeing how his time at childcare centre has helped him grow and learn. He is consistently coming home with new words and songs.
The team have made a excellent impression on him and he consistently mentions their names, with favourites mentioned. After lots of research this childcare centre came up as our first choice based on location and opening hours as both my wife and I work unsociable hours (chef and midwife).
