October 29, 2020 at 12:00 amMy daughter has settled well, she really enjoys her days at Banana Moon. I particularly like the app it’s updated throughout the day so I can see how she’s getting on.
The staff are kind and helpful. I feel my daughter is well looked after and if I need any help they are on hand to advise.

November 11, 2020 at 12:00 amStaff caring and listen well. Range and frequency of different activities are excellent. Great location, green place and reduced pollution, spacious rooms and not overcrowded. Staff focused on learning – evident is child’s progress both academically and emotionally.
Negative – feel a bit detached as of care, but due to covid restrictions entering the building.

April 27, 2021 at 12:00 amWe came to Banana Moon after being unhappy with our previous choice for our daughter (10 months at the time). Now, nearly 6 months later we have never looked back. She loves coming to nursery and is always welcomed with big smiles by the staff. Her development has come on leaps and bounds and we are so happy we chose to come here.

May 4, 2021 at 12:00 amFrom the moment we visited this nursery we knew it was the right one! The staff have been so patient and caring to my daughter who due to Covid hadn’t been around different people in a long time. Her language has developed and she is much happier and confident with new people. The variety of activities they do throughout the day is fantastic. I love being able to see what she has done from looking on the app. From the food to the outdoor space I could not fault any part! Highly recommend!

September 9, 2022 at 12:00 amThis has to be the best nursery I have ever seen or been to. The support both for your child and family support is astonishing. I was so so worried about putting my son in and was constantly ringing up every 10 seconds to see if he was okay. The team were so supportive and would reassure me he was okay and add a picture to his app as a visual response, to ensure I could feel confident with what they were saying. My son struggled with eating and wouldn’t eat finger food, therefore the nursery made a plan to slowly start introducing finger foods. Now he eats like every other child. They always provided me with information about any falls or accidents he had (which was very rare as the team always have their eye on the children), the call always started with don’t worry, it’s nothing to worry about, which instantly put me at ease. I’m so sad I’ve moved from the area and had to take my son out. As soon as I start driving I will be putting him straight back in. Highly recommended. Kind regards.

September 12, 2022 at 12:00 amBanana Moon have been a brilliant nursery for our little boy. From the first day he started and we handed him over at the door mid-pandemic they have reassured us and kept us updated on how he is doing. The staff are always approachable, professional and clearly care about the children they look after. We love the amount of time they spend outdoors exploring the local area which was one of the first things that attracted us to the nursery. It’s nice to see that is actually put into practice virtually every day! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Banana Moon to anyone.

September 12, 2022 at 12:00 amWe love this nursery!
The team are amazing and so caring, they look after your child like their own.
The communication from the nursery is so good, the app updates are the highlight of our days at work!
The team really work with you and your baby to provide a fun safe and caring environment.

September 12, 2022 at 12:00 amAs most children do my daughter started off apprehensive about starting nursery but the staff worked closely with her and was soon looking forward to her days there.
The staff are brilliant, my daughter would come home so excited about the activities she’d been doing.
Her development came on leaps and bounds. Talking, singing, counting improved so much, much more than I could have helped her with at home.
The app they use is great, I got regular updates on what she was doing and eating with lots of pictures and videos.
I’d recommend Banana Moon to anyone and everyone.

September 13, 2022 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been attending this nursery since January. From the first day, she has absolutely loved it! The activities on offer are brilliant and the children are always playing outside and doing fun things. The food provided is homemade and delicious, my daughter often has more than one portion. The staff are excellent and very caring. My daughter has little speech at nearly 3 years old and I cannot fault the support the nursery has given to her to encourage her to develop this. The nursery provides excellent care and I could not be more happy to leave my little girl in this nursery.

September 15, 2022 at 12:00 amChoosing a nursery for my little girl felt like such a daunting task, and after looking around many other nurseries, I knew from the minute we looked around Banana Moons that this was the right place for us. Due to the location, children have so much outdoor time and space to play and learn. Every staff member has such positive energy and makes the children feel special. My little one has quite a bit of anxiety surrounding food/eating, and the staff members have been fab with supporting her and allowing her to do things in her own time with no pressure. I look forward to the app updates each day to see what she has been getting up to and all the fun she has been having. All in all, I would really recommend this nursery!

September 30, 2022 at 12:00 amMy little boy started his nursery at five months old; he is now leaving at the age of four. We’ve both loved our experience with Banana Moon Day Nursery Hyde. He has learnt so much and even asks to come at the weekends. The staff and management have always been so helpful. I would definitely recommend this nursery to friends and family.

The staff keep you up to date and are so caring and kind.
I feel safe leaving my son with the team here.

January 3, 2023 at 12:00 amOverall I think this is an amazing nursery and my two boys love it! The staff in there are all great and couldn’t thank them enough for everything they do! Baby moons & mini moons you have made my boy’s journeys a blast for them!

January 4, 2023 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been in Banana Moon Day Nursery for 9 months and in that time I have been amazed by her development. The staff have worked wonders with her and have helped us bring up a wonderfully happy little girl. I couldn’t be more pleased!

January 9, 2023 at 12:00 amAbsolutely brilliant. My daughter loves it there, the staff are really friendly and the rooms have so many fun things in there for the kids. Can’t fault this nursery at all! They send pictures of the meals through the app and my daughter loves the food. She is always coming home doing new things that she’s done at nursery. She starts her 15 hours in January 2023 and I cannot wait to see her development after that, she’s only in one afternoon a week at present and the things she has learned have truly amazed me.

January 9, 2023 at 12:00 amThis nursery is brilliant with my son. He has some needs and they always go above and beyond for him. He loves all the staff and I highly recommend this nursery, it’s fabulous! They’ve really helped my son with all his needs and I wouldn’t take my son anywhere else.

January 9, 2023 at 12:00 amOur son has attended Banana Moon in Hyde since September 2021. We have been so impressed. The staff are very attentive to the individual needs of the child. They did a great job of settling him in, as well as flagging to us when he was being quiet. They did some great one-to-one work with him to help come out of his shell. They also managed his transition from the baby room to the toddler room brilliantly when he turned two. They give really helpful feedback to parents and are incredibly open to feedback. On the rare occasions that we’ve raised a small issue, the staff have responded positively to address this and always been clear that they welcome all feedback so they can do the best for each child. We could not have chosen anywhere better for our son, we would recommend this nursery highly.
We also love the outside space, being on the park and away from the main road means children can play safely in wide open space without inhaling the fumes from cars on the road.

January 10, 2023 at 12:00 amWe cannot thank Banana Moon for all they do with our child. Our child is always happy coming to nursery and the staff are amazing. The food they provide and the activities they do with the children are always brilliant. Our child always comes home from nursery, telling us what she’s done with her friends and the practitioners. We love the outdoor space that is also provided for the children, the use of the park facilities is a great asset.

July 12, 2023 at 12:00 amSo impressed with this nursery, best nursery by far! My 2-year-old goes to this nursery, my twins have just started this week doing 2 full days. My twins are 9 months old and I am over the moon. They are clingy babies and the staff there have made me feel so at ease, the one thing that other nurseries don’t have is the updating of the app, which shows all activities and pictures of your child through the day. It makes it so much easier when you can see your babies having such a good time at the nursery. I can’t thank the staff enough. They treat and love the kids like their own. I have never ever had an issue with this nursery. My little girl loves it and so do my twins who have already formed lovely bonds with the nursery workers. I have worked in nurseries before and this is by far the best. I know they are in safe and loving hands.
This in my eyes is definitely an outstanding nursery! Thank you to all the staff who make an effort every single day and care for our children.
