Banana Moon Hatton is different to other nurseries in the area. Situated in three converted barns in a rural location and set in 6.5 acres, including fields, a paddock, an orchard, a tennis court and a vegetable plot, there is plenty of outdoor space to run around and have fun.

The team provides a safe and caring environment for children aged 3 months to 5 years, and is open from 7.30 am to 6.30 pm for 51 weeks of the year.

Banana Moon is able to accommodate 110 full-time children and able to offer sessions from half a day a week to five days a week.

The nursery is very close to the major road networks – the A46 and M40, and only minutes away from both Warwick Parkway and Hatton train stations for trains to London.

CCTV is installed in all rooms and there is a biometric fingerprint entry system, ensuring the safety of the children. The nursery offers two home-cooked hot meals each day, cooked on site by the talented nursery chef.

Staff are very experienced in Early Years Education and offer a very loving, stimulating home from home, in the most beautiful setting - come and see for yourself and visit Banana Moon Hatton.

The staff, the facilities and the overall wholesome nursery have benefited my nephew so much! He had developed in leaps and bounds, so proud of him for how far he has come, however, he would not be there if it wasn’t for the amazing experience he has had at Banana Moon Hatton. Thank you!

Banana Moon Nursery has an amazing atmosphere, all staff are genuinely happy and have lovely natures.
My daughter went to this nursery a few months after it opened and is now starting high school in September. There was no doubt that my son would attend the nursery 10 years later. There are some original
staff still working there now who can remember my daughter, which just shows how well the nursery is working.
It is a very outdoorsy and creative nursery and the children are very well looked after.
The children explore the paddock in all weathers and not kept indoors all the time.
The staff go above and beyond to celebrate all the key dates in the year, which is a nice touch.
I also like the food menu they provide for the children, no boring food and they are very happy to cater for food preferences/allergies etc.
Overall I’m very pleased with how my son is looked after and how the nursery runs.

Reply from Sophie Jackson, Manager at Banana Moon Day Nursery Hatton (Warwick)

Thank you for your feedback. I can not believe she is starting secondary school in September! Thank you for trusting us with both of your children. Best wishes Sophie

We are so happy with Banana Moon in Hatton. I speak for both the nursery and the preschool. Our children started in September last year and were welcomed by everyone and settled really easily. The staff are so friendly and caring and they work so hard. Each child is given care and attention and treated
as an individual.
Our children participate in a wide range of activities including boogie mites (music session) painting, role play, reading, rugby, numeracy activities, P.E. and spending as much time as possible outside in the large paddock area.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Banana Moon is a fantastic, homely nursery. The children are taken into the huge outdoor paddock every day come rain or shine - which we love!
Food is nearly all homemade and of good quality and much better than other nurseries menus.
The staff are overall very friendly, caring and kind-natured,
especially the staff that look after the children directly.
The nursery carers teach the children good manners but are gentle with their approach, which suits our parenting style, and they are really respectful of our wishes/requests and follow our lead if needed.
The inside is a little shabby in places (partly due to it just being an old building); however, the toys/facilities are very varied, which makes up for it.
Overall, we feel as though our little one is in great hands at Banana Moon!

Reply from Sophie Jackson, Manager at Banana Moon Day Nursery Hatton (Warwick)

Thank you for your feedback; the staff team are truly wonderful and with the upcoming renovations you will see some improvements to the building. Best wishes.

Banana Moon Hatton is an outstanding nursery. The children have a brilliant time all day with great food and first-rate outdoor space. The staff always plan creative activities and know and support the children superbly. It's great to have access to so much outdoor space and have activities that families
can be a part of such as Father's Day breakfasts and Christmas performances.

My daughter is so incredibly happy here. She's really flourished in the care of all the Banana Moon staff and the wonderful activities she gets to be part of every day. They recognised she was a fast learner and immediately upped the challenge, working to keep her continually curious and independent.
Everyone is so knowledgeable, and we've been given great tips from toys to potty training. We love the app updates and the fact that they know her so well and enjoy spending time with her. We also love that we're often invited in for events such as Halloween and Mother's Day. Everything is so easy and transparent.
My husband and I genuinely cannot recommend this place enough.

My little boy loves Banana Moon Hatton so much! He participates in such a vast range of activities and is given so many opportunities to learn and grow through play. He adores his Key Person and knows lots of the staff around the nursery too! The paddock offers such a large space for the children to
play and explore, surrounded by farmland and animals. The staff are really friendly and welcoming and are informative about our child's day at pick up. We receive regular emails from the nursery keeping us up to date and in the loop with what is going on. Delicious meals are always on offer that our little one enjoys! (He eats better at nursery than at home!) Huge thank you to all the staff team who make nursery a wonderful experience!

Fantastic nursery with great staff and superb outdoor space for the children to explore. So pleased we got in here at Banana Moon Hatton. Our son loves going here and has not only come out of his shell but also made friends. The staff couldn’t be nicer. Thoroughly recommend it to anyone considering
a good nursery, this one is exceptional.

We are delighted to have our daughter at Banana Moon Hatton, our child absolutely adores going to nursery and will miss it when she goes to school! I always feel that my child is safe, the staff are very professional and detail-orientated in ensuring the best care is provided.
I really appreciate
all the time that the staff give to talking about our child's development and the many fun extra activities that they put on for the children and parents - Halloween parties, summer fayres, Christmas performances and plenty of dressing up opportunities.
The paddock is by far the best outdoor space I have seen at a nursery and the children are out there multiple times a day unless it's very poor weather. It's been a real weight off my mind knowing how well our child is cared for in the week while we work.

We have a daughter in the babies’ room and a son in playschool. Both settled in immediately and are always happy and content at drop off/ pick up which is a great endorsement for the nursery.


We love how much outdoor space there is and how much time the children spend outdoors, in all weathers. The

chef cooks food that seems to be very popular. The phone is always answered promptly which I find reassuring. The manager and all the staff are approachable and respond to queries quickly.

This is our 2nd time using Banana Moon Day Nursery and it's as amazing as it was 1st time around. It's literally the best nursery around, with caring staff and gorgeous surroundings for the little people.
I think it says a lot when the same staff are still there 7 years later. I've been amazed that
they remembered our family and 1st son's time at Banana Moon 7 years on.
Our 2nd son is so happy and contented here too, it's just in a league of its own!

From the moment I stepped into Banana Moon I knew this was the right nursery for my son. Warm, inviting and caring was exactly the environment I wanted, and I found this and more. The staff have been fantastic, the outdoor space was a big sell after long lockdowns with the Covid restrictions, and on
our first visit, the home-cooked lunches being served looked fantastic. It's a big decision leaving your child in the care of others, but that decision has been made so much easier by the staff at the nursery and I know my son is safe and cared for, he has thrived whilst being there. I look forward to the updates on the app and it's nice for me to be able to talk to him about his day.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.674)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.674) out of 10 for Banana Moon Day Nursery Hatton (Warwick) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 18 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.856 for Banana Moon Day Nursery Hatton (Warwick) is calculated as follows: ( (190 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 216 Ratings = 4.856

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 4.818 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Banana Moon Day Nursery Hatton (Warwick) is based on 18 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 110 number of registered child places is 22. 18 Positive Reviews ÷ 22 = 0.818

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
