September 2, 2024 at 12:38 pmCannot speak wholeheartedly enough of this nursery setting. My little one settled in so well, I get regular updates when he is at early‑years hub. My little one started July 2020, an anxious time but due to work commitments childcare was necessary. Communication initially was easy the manager performed a Zoom call tour which was great and she was kind and approachable. He is pleased to go and has made many friends. Lots of interesting and fun activities are set up and he has developed so well and will be more than ready for the transition into pre-school because of the time he has spent at Banana Moon!

September 9, 2024 at 12:50 pmWe have never had to worry about what she’s up to at nursery setting as the crew send updates throughout the day via the app, as well as a handover at the end of the day. We are grateful to the team for their ongoing attention of our young lady and look forward to sending our young lad once born next year. My husband and I are so pleased with our decision to send her to Banana Moon Kempston. Our girl, now 22 months, has been attending since 11 months. Born during the lockdown, and not seeing anyone means she can be shy, but the crew have always been supportive and responsive. We cherish hearing what she’s been up to. Since our little one started at nursery setting, she has grown so much in every way. The personnel are also respectful of our individual family preferences – no photos are to be shared online. There is a nursery setting on our estate; 5 mins’ walk away. We made the decision, however, that Banana Moon Kempston was better for our little one and for us, even though it means a short drive.

September 26, 2024 at 6:33 amMy little one adores it and has the best days there, they keep us informed and up to date every day and have worked hard on his personal progression with walking, talking and interacting with those around him! My little one has been at the childcare centre for a little under a year now and I cannot say enough about the level of quality.

November 9, 2024 at 1:46 pmBanana Moon is a place where my kids are delighted and cared for. When you see your little ones with a big smile and running into childcare centre to hug their mentors, you know that this is a place where they feel protected and joyful. This is why totally endorse Banana Moon to everyone

November 16, 2024 at 3:17 pmMy young lad actually grew here and I was so pleased to see him every day coming with new things learned. The crew are extremely welcoming and the most important is that they really do a lot of activities for the kids to help them develop. The early‑years hub is immaculate and with all that it needs for a little kid to grow and develop in a healthy and good setting with lots of equipment and resources. My boy is here since he was a baby coming every day and now he is preparing to go at preschool. I wholeheartedly advocate this nursery setting. The food is so healthy and well prepared. He never cried in the morning when I dropped him instead he was truly excited to start a new day here. Is the best place. They are truly caring and they have safety measures in place Is the second home for my little one, therefore, we are so sorry because we have to leave the childcare centre thank you truly much to all of the team for all help we received during this period, we hope we will have the chance in future to drop in the childcare centre and see all

November 18, 2024 at 9:27 pmNever left out at snack times or even birthdays! My little one started here when he was 1 and a half, he started in the baby room and now will soon be leaving to start school! I honestly can not sing their praises loud enough! I know it’s his next chapter with school but I wish he could stay forever where I know he’s so well cared for and secure. Every member of crew has had an impact on my son’s progress and character, they have not only supported him through his early years but me too! My young lad enjoys his early‑years hub and it will be extremely emotional leaving Banana Moon for us both! Thank you for everything to the whole Banana Moon team. They have always respected and given great choices for his diet as he’s vegetarian and dairy intolerant which is incredible! Reassured me when I have needed it and given me guidance when I have asked.

December 30, 2024 at 1:16 pmI enjoy this nursery setting, I feel so so comfortable leaving my little one in the care of Banana Moon Kempston. He always has a lovely time and I especially enjoy the app where I get loads of regular updates on his day.

January 14, 2025 at 2:52 amBoth my youngsters went to Banana Moon Kempston from 14 months up to 4 years. My youngest is excited to go after absorbing about school logos, colours and even visits from their crew. The crew are caring and enthusiastic and take the time to get to know the kids, build their confidence and let them time a range of activities and scenarios, from exploring nature, growing vegetables (pre-school), helping make cakes and who help develop a rounded approach which they feedback to the parents/guardians. Highly advocate this childcare centre. My little ones were encouraged to be independent while practising walking up stairs, changing shoes, using cutlery, absorbing to toilet independently and when the time came, preparing for school. We enjoyed the layout of the rooms for varying age groups, and the accessible resources and were assured this was the right place for our kids. The eldest was so assured starting school as a result, despite none of her friends from nursery setting going to the same school.

January 21, 2025 at 11:59 pmThank you! The pre-school had such a lovely, calming and welcoming setting and it was the only place I felt confident to leave my young lady. I came to Banana Moon feeling deflated and anxious I was immediately reassured and felt pleased and relaxed. She can also write her name with ease. After visiting a lot of local pre-schools. My little one is now due to start school, she can read and write exceptionally confidently. I owe it all to Banana Moon and will miss bringing her there. The crew are all extremely hands-on and nurturing.

January 23, 2025 at 12:44 pmThe educators are lovely and always so useful when it comes to meeting his needs. I am kept updated throughout the day with what my young lad is up to and receive regular pictures too. My little one has been at Banana Moon Kempston for 3 months now and I have already recommended the nursery setting to 2 of my friends, who also now send their youngsters there. My little one has the best time at early‑years hub doing a variety of things. So far, we’ve had a brilliant journey with this nursery setting.

February 4, 2025 at 10:34 amThey are brilliant with correspondence and I enjoy the updates they give me on the app. My young lady went from Baby Moons now to Full Moons and I could not be prouder of her and that is with thanks to the personnel at the nursery setting. This early‑years hub has been brilliant for my young lady. I have witnessed so many developmental stages which have been really nurtured by the team and her personality has been allowed to bloom. The attitude of every single team member is nothing but accommodating, kind and cordial.

February 5, 2025 at 3:00 pmBanana Moon have been looking after our little one for over three years now and it always amazes me how much she has learnt and continues to discover whilst there (she has even taught me a few things!). We will be so dismayed when she leaves this year for school. I would definitely suggest Banana Moon to anyone looking for a fun, cordial and caring childcare centre. The personnel are extremely approachable with any concerns you may have and are pleased to help and help with any milestones you are teaching your kid at home.

February 6, 2025 at 1:51 amMy young lad is thrilled and thriving thanks to the fantastic team members. Even through the struggles of the Covid-19 pandemic, their standards have remained high. Banana Moon Kempston is the most fantastic childcare facility. The freshly prepared meals Banana Moon Kempston offers are fantastic. The updates on the app are great, seeing how much my boy is enjoying himself and knowing when he’s eaten, slept, etc. The crew are always so kind and from the first day have always filled me with confidence that they’re taking excellent care of my young lad. The activities they do throughout the day with the kids always look like such fun! I was worried that as a vegetarian my boy wouldn’t be offered a wide variety of nutritious meals but I couldn’t be feeding him better myself! 10/10, I would suggest for the remarkable personnel, the great facilities, the meals and the activities they do all day every day! puts my mind at ease.

February 8, 2025 at 1:46 amTaking him back in July he didn’t want to go. I enjoy it just as much as he does. Banana Moon has been fantastic since my some started prior year. But he soon remembered how much he enjoys nursery setting and all the girls are there too. It took him a while to settle in but they assured me it always takes time before long he was loving it lockdown hit and he was off for 14 weeks.
Anthony Williams
February 15, 2025 at 3:43 pmThe activities are fun and he will come home now chatting about what he has done. Even going back after Covid-19 he was still smiling to see them. My little boy has been with Banana Moon since he was nine months old and he has enjoyed every moment of being there. He is now two and still as thrilled. The personnel are remarkable and he adores them. He is so at ease with them. They provide great food throughout the day that my little boy treasures. The app is great and updated, providing you with all the important information and also activities the little ones have been doing, which will always bring a smile to your face. They were incredible throughout the Covid-19 pandemic and just proved how incredible they are. My little boy learns so much every day. I enthusiastically advocate Banana Moon.

February 27, 2025 at 9:57 amI have been exceptionally delighted with the headway and assistance at Banana Moon Nursery. My daughter’s headway was clearly outlined by her keyworker. Very good correspondence. It was a really positive time. It was lovely to see photos and evidence of activities that my young lady has been doing. Staff clearly showed keen interest in her growth, always ready to help.

May 17, 2025 at 10:51 amWe will forever be grateful for the sense of normality and routine that the childcare centre gave us and our girl through Covid lockdowns; we would have been lost without you. We are so downhearted that she will be leaving to go to school in September but so grateful that the Banana Moon team has helped to shape the young lady that she is today and prepare her for school. Thank you for everything you have done for our little girl; she will miss you, and so will we. I would truly suggest this setting to anyone. From our first visit, we just felt such warmth, the space is homely, and the personnel genuinely cherish and support for the little ones as if they were their own. Our little one joined Banana Moon Kempston when she was 16 months old, back in January 2020. Her social abilities and inquisitive nature have been nurtured wonderfully, and she has made so many friends. Our daughter’s confidence has blossomed beautifully over the past 2.5 years; her language developed so quickly as soon as she joined the childcare centre.

June 11, 2025 at 4:07 pmThe in-house catering ensures all dietary requirements are catered for, particularly important with allergies. The syllabus ensures discovering is fun, from painting to cooking and in all weathers inside and outside. The app provides regular updates and photos of each day and the crew ensure parents are informed by phone about any slips, trips or falls. I wholeheartedly suggest this childcare centre, my wife and I confidently leave our little one in their truly safe hands. He’s established friendships across all the different age groups and developed strong bonds with the crew. Quarterly face-to-face meetings with his “key person” are held, with ad-hoc discussions encouraged as required. My boy has been attending the childcare centre for almost 2 years and has never once not wanted to go. Perfect preparation for primary school. His speech and confidence around others has developed significantly during this time and friends whose little ones don’t go to a childcare centre regularly comment on his advancement compared to their own.

June 29, 2025 at 12:59 amShe has been nurtured and cared for every step of the way and under the care of the team team, she has flourished. We cannot speak strongly enough of her time there. My young lady (now 4) has been at Banana Moon since she was 15-months-old. My little one has been so thrilled throughout her time at Banana Moon. Communication is excellent and the knowledge that team have of the EYFS curriculum is first‑rate. It really is a wonderful environment and an incredible place for kids to discover and grow. We have appreciated their flexibility and professionalism extremely much over the preceding 3 years as well as their knowledge of individual youngsters.
