September 5, 2024 at 4:49 amThe nursery’s location provides a large outside space with fields for lots of outdoor playtime and activities. Our young lady has been at Banana Moon for over two years. The early‑years hub is an superb hive of exploring for little ones. The personnel are extremely welcoming and provide a creative and delighted place for kids to explore and develop. The food available is varied and I particularly enjoy the application of themed weeks.

October 3, 2024 at 10:55 amParents are kept well updated about our little ones via an app and periodic monthly headway. That said, most other kids, go with the flow. My little one will be leaving Banana Moon Day Nursery Lower Sundon soon but he started at their toddler early‑years hub. I remember being told, ‘if the youngsters aren’t coming home covered in paint and mud, then we aren’t doing our jobs’, I signed up then and there. A minor criticism is that there seems to be a steady turnover of crew, which is a shame because they are all suitably qualified and great with my little one. Having had no previous period of dealing with childcare, I wasn’t sure what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised with Banana Moon Day Nursery Lower Sundon. In summary, I would sign him up again tomorrow! They offer an excellent and varied menu for kids and they promote the outdoors a lot, which is good because it is a wonderful rural setting, with horses in neighbouring fields. The difficulty is my little one struggles to form attachments and the crew changes have probably slowed the bonding process.

The overall quality of support provided is absolutely exceptional and I would wholeheartedly advocate this Nursery. All the personnel are excellent! I find the app that gives me updates all day is great!

October 4, 2024 at 6:20 amMy youngster treasures going to early‑years hub and has built great relationships with the team. The early‑years hub environment is truly positive, secure and nurturing for the kids to explore and develop through a variety of playtime opportunities. The outdoor absorbing opportunities are particularly good and they make great use of their outside spaces. The crew are kind and caring and do a great job of providing a variety of opportunities for the kids. A brilliant early‑years hub!

November 15, 2024 at 6:19 pmOur little one has been attending Banana Moon Day Nursery Lower Sundon since he was 11 months old and has had a wonderful period over the almost 4 years of attending. We will be extremely downhearted when his time to leave and move to school arrives. Thank you to all the crew at Banana Moon Day Nursery Lower Sundon. He has formed some great bonds with the team and other kids in attendance. Banana Moon have been great at dealing with an allergy that our little one has and always ensures that our worries are considered and if needed alternate meals are made available for him.

November 20, 2024 at 11:06 pmThe encouragement to enjoy and explore the outside space is a key reason why I cherish sending my boy here. it means he is undertaking fully interactive messy experiences (without messing my own house up!) he explores new foods and tastes and I feel fully comfortable leaving him there, especially due to the help and guidance I was given in that worrying time of initial settling. My child’s clothes are always a state when he returns home! What a wonderful place this is for your tiny one! Which I enjoy! For busy mums and dads, access and parking is easy and straightforward and calm each morning, plenty of space to safely drop off and take home your youngster minus traffic congestion or worry. The team are kind, polite and keen to absorb about your youngster and their wants, needs, routines, fears and joys. The manager of the early‑years hub shows clear time and understanding of the needs of youngsters and you feel most assured knowing that your youngster is cared for by personnel under her guidance.

December 26, 2024 at 5:39 pmI can’t endorse this setting strongly enough, a truly fantastic place to allow your kids to discover and grow. Our little one has went to Banana Moon Day Nursery Lower Sundon since he was 9 months old, in September he leaves to start school. During this time he has experienced wonderful care from all the lovely crew, he’s been encouraged and supported throughout every aspect of his growth.

December 28, 2024 at 3:27 pmMy eldest left nearly a year ago and when we pick up the younger 2 she still runs around talking to all the personnel. Since 2020, just before covid struck, we enrolled all 3 of our youngsters, aged 4, 2 and 9 months old. A truly welcoming place. The youngsters discover alot and journey alot of different things than you would most other nurseries like foraging, Teddy tennis. Banana Moon Day Nursery Lower Sundon are absolutely incredible! I had no worries as I was kept regularly updated via the app and the personnel are extremely welcoming and the kids treasure them.

February 3, 2025 at 9:48 pmBoth my young lady (who joins now) and my little one who has just gone up to school both instantly felt at home when they came to Banana Moon. Leaving your kids with anyone is always such a daunting thing but the hourly/daily updates you receive put your mind at rest seeing they are clearly delighted and having so much fun.

March 12, 2025 at 1:10 amMy young lad has been attending the early‑years hub for nearly two years, and we can only voice positive words about the early‑years hub and all the personnel members. Thank you Team Banana Moon – Luton, you truly are incredible!! We particularly enjoy how the early‑years hub uses their space (indoor and outdoor) and resources to help my boy to access and absorb steps within the EYFS. The childcare centre lead and her team are nothing but professional and are always there to support our young lad and the family. Our little one enjoys attending the early‑years hub and is developing and thriving due to all the team members support and efforts in supporting him. The place is simply remarkable and we cannot bear the thought for when he has to leave. We have also noticed how much his speech and social progress has enhanced since attending nursery setting, and we couldn’t be any more proud and thankful.

May 12, 2025 at 5:12 amGreat outdoor space and indoor activities that are put on for the little ones are also fab! Fantastic early‑years hub! The nursery setting is exceptionally well run by the manager, my boys have always enjoyed going. The topics and ideas are well thought out and imaginative and the childcare centre personnel are approachable and supportive.

May 16, 2025 at 12:43 pmFrom day one the crew and cook was enrolled at to his extra requirements. Our little one had truly bad eczema as a baby with a restricted diet and we were nervous about leaving him in someone else’s care. Our young lad was enrolled at Banana Moon in Lower Sundon from age one until he left for school in September 2022. He had a varied diet with meals prepared in-house – something that was important to us. The team were fantastic during the 3 and a half years – they coped with the challenges of covid and always kept us informed. The youngsters were outdoors every day. The gardens and field were a great place for the kids to explore about nature and adventure in a really protected setting. Our little one enjoyed his time at Banana Moon and I thoroughly suggest it. They created a warm, caring, exploring environment that has set our boy up to transition to school as a assured, inquisitive youngster, open to new situations. I am so grateful for all the care he received while there. It was lovely to get daily updates with photos on the app.
