    It was a very difficult transition for me in terms of me leaving him, however, the team were really reassuring. They let us have multiple settling-in sessions which really helped me and especially my son to get used to the childcare centre, team and other kids. The app is excellent too I adore to be able to see what he is getting up to and it’s also the peace of mind knowing that they are okay. I am really cheerful with sending my little boy to Banana Moon.

    My daughter attends and has done for some time now and has developed and flourished here. She loves going to childcare centre although she is sometimes a bit upset she settles down very well and the childcare centre keeps me up to date with her development very well and very often. They consistently have her in fresh nappies and take a lot of thought and effort into all the activities they do. My daughter’s key leader and along with all the team are very compassionate and welcoming individuals. Remarkable team and a fantastic childcare centre.

    When my kid first started they had a slight speech delay where the childcare centre and the SENCO helped me and my kid to thrive.
    My kid comes home every day from childcare centre telling me all about their day and how much they thoroughly delight in the time they have spent there with their educators and friends.
    All of the team consistently have a smile on their face and are willing to do anything to help us. Even the childcare centre cook gets involved with holding cooking sessions in the room with the kids to develop important life skills. I cannot express how cheerful I am that I found a childcare centre for my kid where they have come on leaps and bounds.

    Since starting childcare centre my daughter has developed so much, she is a lot less shy around other kids and the team consistently make sure she is comfortable and entertained throughout the whole day, I’m thankful for all the team’s hard work at the childcare centre and would definitely suggest.

    The team are incredible and my kids adore them. You can see the care and attention they give which my kids adore. Both undertake many activities in childcare centre and are both thriving, they have come on so much since starting there. They come home each evening very cheerful, contented little boys. Thanks Banana Moon. Both of my kids attend Banana Moon and I can honestly say, I wouldn’t want them to go anywhere else.

    My daughter loves attending the childcare centre and speaks highly of the team. It’s nice to keep updated on the app to see what my daughter gets up to during the day. Overall, exceptional childcare centre. The childcare centre and team are incredible and consistently go above and beyond in supporting my daughter in mini moons.

    Although he is a confident kid I did worry as there was a lot of change for him with a new home in a completely new area. He settled in immediately. The team are incredible, consistently bubbly and energetic which is excellent as my son thinks the world of all of them. The updates on the app are remarkable. I have never seen any as great and after speaking to other mums about it, they haven’t. I have continuous updates throughout the day. I really do sense like I get a great insight into his day. It is evident when he comes home and tells you about it what he is discovering etc. Thank you to Banana Moon We are so cheerful with Banana Moon, my son started childcare centre here back in June 22.

    Once speaking to the manager regarding this she has arranged for all team to refresh their training and made arrangements so that he has a 1:1 during nap times. All the team are incredible and so lovely, I am so glad we are able to have our son at this childcare centre. My 1-year-old can have seizures when falling to sleep and one of my biggest worries was how a childcare centre would be able to deal with them when they happened.

    She would simply not receive such care and attention and learn and achieve so much in a large childcare centre. She loves the team to bits which is testimony to the attention they provide and the over and above they do for our little ones. It’s a culture instilled throughout the team with endless cuddles for the little ones when they need one. Everyone has done their best to pull together during this difficult year to keep the childcare centre open. Our little girl has loved it even more since reopening and taken to the new team members amazingly well which is testament to the quality of the recruitment and management of the childcare centre. There is an app which provides daily info on your little one’s activities and photos which is fab. There’s also a really great cultural of providing great quality meals in the childcare centre and my little one eats better there than home. This is a super little childcare centre where “small is definitely lovely” and our little girl has blossomed over the last two years here.

    My kid loves it here, my daughter thrives!. Watching her grow and develop is the main thing for a parent. The App is so supportive watching what she does, eats sleeps etc. Very pleased with the childcare centre.

    He has fitted in so well. The change in his social skills has really improved. The team are so welcoming and informative. 10 out of 10. My kid started at Banana Moon Day Childcare centre end of March 2023 and he absolutely loves going there.

    The boys were given unlimited settling in sessions prior to officially starting which was excellent for us as parents to know they were able to become familiar with their new setting. On these settling in sessions the team consistently sent photos over to show how the boys were getting on which was lovely to put our minds at ease. Now they have started officially, the childcare centre team update what the boys have been up to on an app every hour or so which is incredible! It’s so detailed! We’re able to find out what the boys have eaten, how long they’ve napped, when the youngest’s nappy has been changed and our favourite part is the photos of them having enjoyable with their peers and all the lovely activities they get up to! They also ensure to show a settling activity if they have gone in, in a bit of a grump which is reassuring for us too. We couldn’t suggest Banana Moon enough, thank you. My two little boys started here at the start of January and we have been so cheerful with the journey so far!

    The kids undertake many different activities throughout the day and team engage with each kid throughout, encouraging discovering and development whilst keeping it enjoyable and playful.
    When the weather is great, the kids playtime games outdoors. The front of the building and the outdoor playtime space could do with some updating and improvement but my son still has a excellent time regardless. Meals are rotated every few weeks and are home-cooked with a great variety of healthy meals. The kids are often involved in cooking/baking activities too. Toilet training has been successful and team have been supportive and supportive with toilet training plans to encourage independence. Overall a excellent journey and would suggest the childcare centre to family and friends. My son loves going to Banana Moon – he has developed exceptional relationships with the team and has a excellent friendship group.

    I adore the Reaction the team give to my daughter when I drop her off in the mornings
    (Aww Great morning lovely girl!)
    (Aww sweet girl Hellooo!!!)
    The team make such a fuss and it really does fill me with so much adore seeing her wee face light up the girls take her in for the day!
    The app is excellent I adore seeing photos and videos and updates on my daughter while I’m at work and seeing her smiling just ensures me she’s having a excellent day at childcare centre with her friends.
    I have recently learned that the childcare centre teaches Makaton which is incredible I think!
    Overall I am truly cheerful with Banana Moon and thank you for being incredible! My daughter has been going to Banana Moon since she was 5months old and I sense she’s come on so well since being at childcare centre and being around other kids.
    The team are incredible and so compassionate.

    They have been hardworking, thinking about new activities daily to keep the little one not only entertained but also engaged and providing educational value at the same time. We were initially worried when our little one started about him settling in, but the team have been very welcoming and helped put our mind at ease.
    Thank you very much to all of you at Banana Moon for your hard work and for making this a fantastic place for our little one! The team at Banana Moon have been second to none.

    Couldn’t ask for a better setting for my kids. Since my kids started at Banana Moon they have come on so much not only in their self‑assurance but also with their speech and development.
    The team consistently go above and beyond to ensure my kids are consistently cheerful and getting the best care they need to assistance them, they’re also remarkable at supporting us as parents to I couldn’t be more pleased with the setting, they’ve been so supportive and welcoming whenever I have had any queries regarding my kids!

    I would highly suggest to anyone who is thinking of using Banana Moon. My granddaughter attends and is so cheerful to come each day, she has come on in leaps and bounds since attending and is such a cheerful girl in the mornings knowing she is coming to childcare centre.

    Team are consistently cheerful to chat during handover about what has happened during the day. The app is updated at regular points throughout the day, highlighting what my kid has eaten, activities they’ve taken part in and the sleep they’ve had. I can see in the pictures taken and shared, via the app, how much enjoyable she is having with her friends. I would highly suggest this childcare centre. The team are loving and attentive, treating my kid like one of their own.

    He is a confident, sociable, chatty little boy who has made lots of friends in the baby room. We get updated on the app and what he’s been doing throughout the day which is nice to see. The team are welcoming and attentive and makes me sense at ease leaving him in their care. My son has been coming here for over a year and has progressed so much due to the outstanding team within the childcare centre.

    They update me at the end of the day about my kid (aside from what I see in the app). I think my daughter really improved once she started going to childcare centre. I used to struggle to feed her solids but I think the childcare centre really encouraged her to try new foods. She’s also developed her motor skills faster and is more sociable now with other kids. Also grateful for the seasonal activities they had the kids do last Christmas. I really enjoyed the handprint and footprint art from my daughter and the collage of photos of her first Christmas at childcare centre. What a nice keepsake! The team are really welcoming and supportive.
