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.

We visited Banana Moon when I was pregnant and despite being the only nursery we visited, we fell in love with it straight away. It has been the best decision we ever made - our son is so happy here and has developed so much since starting in September. The staff are all amazing and show such an interest
in what he likes and enjoys doing. The outdoor space is wonderful and gives our little boy the opportunity to interact with other children from different rooms whilst being in the fresh air.

Reply from Chloe Hardy, Manager at Banana Moon Day Nursery Hatton (Warwick)

Thank you for trusting us to look after your little one Louise! So happy to hear how much he is enjoying it.

I would highly recommend Banana Moon Hatton nursery. Our son is very well cared for and we never have any concerns about his welfare. He enjoys daily playtime in a large paddock, and healthy home-cooked meals and has formed strong bonds with staff and children. We are able to share his experiences through
the app which is updated with photos and information throughout the day.

My son has been going to Banana Moon since he was 9 months old, starting in ‘Under 2s’ and now in ‘Toddlers’ and I can honestly say it’s the best decision we made when going back to work full time. The peace of mind it gives us knowing he is happy, well cared for and learning lots on a daily basis is
invaluable. The food is amazing (we echo what others have written, he eats better than we do!). The staff are so caring, helpful and friendly, and his key workers in both rooms have been amazing. If you ask our son who his best friend is, he will say his key worker and another member of staff at nursery which I think is a testament to how much he enjoys nursery and their care.
We would thoroughly recommend Banana Moon Hatton!

We are so pleased that our daughter goes to Banana Moon Hatton. All of the staff are truly exceptional- they are all so kind, caring and passionate about their jobs and that really shows through in the wide range of activities that are available throughout the day. My daughter is always so excited to
tell us all about what she has been up to; whether that’s arts and crafts, singing, dancing or out in the paddock. The staff have all taken time to get to know my daughter and her interests and then tailor activities to her interests which I think is fantastic. I have also heard the food is amazing and the app will often say that my daughter has had more than one portion of a meal! We feel our daughter has developed so much since starting at Banana Moon Hatton and we honestly can’t thank the staff enough for all that they do in helping my daughter learn and develop through play.

We thoroughly enjoy Banana Moon, as do both my boys. We are relatively new starters and have been made to feel completely welcomed by everyone. All the staff we come into contact with know the boys, who their key workers are, and have been made to feel part of the family. The food is amazing (even for
my picky eater!), and both boys sleep well there (testament really!) … the activities and learning opportunities are amazing, and their approach to emotional well-being is perfect. Thank you, Team!!

Our son attends Banana Moon 4-days a week. It was difficult for me to let him go after maternity in lockdown and return to work full time, but Banana Moon made the whole experience so easy. Our little boy has developed so much over the last 6-months; his eating, walking and talking have come on in leaps
and bounds. We are constantly informed of changes through the app and find the day to day updates so reassuring when my husband and I are at work all day. We love the outdoor space - this was a big thing for us - we wanted him to be happy and at home outdoors. The range of activities he takes part in is mind-blowing to us; we really enjoy seeing the challenges they come up with each day for the children. Also, the range of food he eats is an absolute wonder - he eats better than us! All home-cooked and such a variety. Most mornings, you will find him at the front door with his nursery bag ready to go; we’re so happy he’s happy with you!

We are now on our second child with the nursery (our first now at school), and he is doing so well. He has recently moved up to the toddler room and is with a key worker he adores. We see photos throughout the day of the activities they are doing, and regular updates on what they have had for food etc.
Feedback at the end of each day is great, despite Covid restrictions. The grounds the nursery sits in are fabulous, and the kids are outside every day in all weathers bar storms, which I think is so good for them! The office staff are equally as great as room staff and always get back to you after enquiries. Thank you, Banana Moon.

As a grandparent, I would like to thank you all for your daily accounts of their days with you. The photographs help keep us in touch, and to see all the wonderful activities that you do with the children is a testament to how you prepare the children for the next stage in their lives. It is very obvious
that all the staff, whether they be admin, caring, teaching or in the kitchen are totally invested in the wellbeing of the children. Thank you.

My daughter loves Banana Moon Hatton. She has attended the nursery for 2-years now, she has made new friends and looks forward to going in each week. The staff are all kind, friendly and very creative; they do plenty of learning/fun activities for the children, and the outdoor paddock is amazing. They
provide a great variety of healthy snacks and meals throughout the week too, which has helped my daughter with trying new foods! Overall, a fantastic nursery.

Banana Moon Day Nursery Hatton is a fantastic nursery. I've had one child go through all the way and is now at school and the other one is nearly in pre-school. Both have had great experiences and I've never had any complaints. The team are brilliant and really create a great bond with the kids. Despite
everything that's happened recently the team always have smiles on their faces and ready to welcome my little girl in. She really looks forward to her days there and has met some lovely friends. The outside space at the nursery is by far the best in the area, it's so lovely that she gets to go outside in all weather's and has a great time outside. I've recommended friends here and they too have had a wonderful experience. I also have to say how well she is looked after by the chef there. She always gets great home-cooked food and as a child who loves food it's great to hear how much she enjoys his dinners.

I left a review for Banana Moon Hatton in 2019 and, two years on, I'm still just as delighted with the home from home environment; the quality of the facilities; and the personalised, nurturing care provided by the nursery's dedicated team. My pre-school and toddler aged children adore the fun, friendship
and learning Banana Moon Hatton offers, especially when it takes place in the amazing outdoor space. If only every day could be a Banana Moon day!

I've had two children at Banana Moon. One started in playschool and thrived from her time there and in preschool until she left for school last August, and they were great throughout lockdown too with lots of fun activities. In January our little baby girl started in the Under 2s room and is doing incredibly
well. We were a little bit worried since due to the pandemic she knew next to no one but the staff in the nursery have been great and we know she loves her time there.

My 15-month-old has been going to Banana Moon Hatton for 2 months now and is settling in well! I was very nervous as a first-time mum sending him to nursery, especially with Covid restrictions still upon us, but the staff have all been great with him and they send me lots of pictures during the day.
They are going above and beyond to help him settle in, especially with his sleep, as the new environment is a big adjustment. The grounds are lovely and there is lots of space for the babies/toddlers to run/crawl around. I couldn't be happier with my choice and strongly recommend this nursery.

My daughter joined the nursery in November 2020 and has flourished under the guidance of the team at Banana Moon. She enjoys interacting with the other children and always comes home happy and with exciting things to tell me about her day. The nursery app is informative and keeps me abreast of her progress
throughout the day. Big credit must go to the staff and key workers for their dedication and professionalism in caring for the children.

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.
