  • Banana Moon Day Nursery Hatton (Warwick), Warwick
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 are fantastic at Banana Moon Day Nursery Hatton (Warwick), my daughter wakes up every morning so excited to go to playschool. The staff are so friendly and welcoming, along with the activities they provide she is always learning. The facilities are amazing, from the nursery itself to their
outside paddock area. The menus I receive on the app of the food my daughter will be having made on site by Chef are fantastic!
Banana Moon Hatton is just all round an amazing nursery! Thank you!

Banana Moon Day Nursery Hatton (Warwick) is a fantastic nursery with an amazing outdoor space and all the staff are brilliant. My son really enjoys nursery and is always keen to get up and go! He has come on leaps and bounds since starting in September and I couldn’t recommend a better nursery to help
your children grow and develop.

Both of our children have loved their time at Banana Moon Day Nursery Hatton (Warwick). The staff are amazing and we feel our children are really cared for, as individuals. The facilities, outdoor space, meals, activities and of course, the nursery team, are wonderful and we couldn’t have asked for
a better nursery setting for our children. Thank you Banana Moon Hatton.

Banana Moon Day Nursery Hatton (Warwick) is an amazing environment for a child to grow and develop. My little boy has been there for nearly a year and has flourished due to the staff, facilities and support. I would recommend to any parent. Great work Banana Moon Hatton.

Both of my children currently attend Banana Moon Hatton and love it! The staff have become like friends and my children utterly love their key workers. They’ve handled the last year incredibly well and I’ve always felt informed and confident in their approach to navigating the last few months. The outside
space is huge and varied and really means the kids can explore nature which I love. I would (and have!) highly recommend this nursery to anyone thinking about it.

We could not be happier with Banana Moon Hatton. Both our boys attend (1 and 3 yrs old) and have enjoyed the fun and engaging activities all of the staff organise for the children. The Director and her team are dedicated, professional and enthusiastic practitioners, who always create such a warm and
inviting environment for the children. During the various lockdowns, the communication was brilliant and we were impressed with how quickly the staff adapted to the ‘new' way of doing things: It allowed our boys a much-needed bit of normality (when they were able to attend). We are very happy and would highly recommend. Keep up the good work!

Banana Moon Day Nursery Hatton (Warwick) are absolutely brilliant. They keep us updated on our daughter throughout the day, give her nutritious home-cooked meals and make sure she gets outside every day to explore the world (weather permitting). What I love most is their commitment to learning - they
always keep us updated about her progress against the early years foundation stages and every activity they do has a weekly theme that encourages some level of creativity or development. I genuinely feel like they care about our daughter and her brilliant relationship with the staff is a testament to that.

Our daughter has been at Banana Moon Day Nursery Hatton (Warwick) from Babies, following in her big brother’s footsteps who was also there all the way until he started school. Both have become contented and sociable children; a lot of this I can definitely attribute to the excellent care and nurturing
that comes from the staff at Banana Moon and the varied activities that they plan for.
Whether the staff member is your own child’s key worker or not, I have always felt that staff in each room (this also includes management!) know all children well on a personal level. They genuinely care about our children and as a parent, you need to feel that those people responsible for taking care of our special, little people, are kind and caring and interested in them, too.
Banana Moon is blessed with a huge amount of space both indoor and out - something which mine love - and they are brilliant at keeping you informed on what your child has done that day, via the app. It’s lovely seeing their happy faces and that they enjoy nursery!

We absolutely love Banana Moon Hatton, the Director and the team are fantastic at keeping us informed, know our child well and make us feel safe. We’ve had two children through Banana Moon and we’ll be so sad when our last leaves in the summer. The extracurricular activities, Paddock, French, Forest
School and dancing all place this well above others and well ahead of some primary schools. The staff in preschool are brilliant, friendly, supportive and care for our child completely. This year has been tough with Covid but the online provision through the App and Instagram and Facebook has helped us continue to be well connected. Love Banana Moon Hatton.

We have both our children at Banana Moon Hatton, our eldest has been there since he turned 1 and is currently in preschool and our youngest started in January 2021. We have always been so pleased with the nursery; excellent communication, wonderful staff and a beautiful setting. Crucially both our boys
love attending and have developed immeasurably in their time there. Thank you, everyone! We have, and will continue, to recommend you to our friends.

My son started to attend nursery 4 days a week from January 2021. I was extremely nervous about whether he was going to settle in, but by the 2nd week, you could see he was thoroughly enjoying his days there amongst the fab facilities. Over the last 5 months his development has come on tremendously
and I am so proud of the 18 month he has become. Can't thank the under 2 team and specific key support enough for looking after him, developing his key skills and keeping me up to date with all his daily schedule and wider information about the nursery, we always feel informed. Would highly recommend the nursery.

My son has been with Banana Moon Hatton since November 2019. He is very happy there and his speech and language have developed so much. I felt safe taking him to nursery throughout lockdown and feel we have a great relationship with his key worker. The communication is excellent with regular updates
throughout the day and at handover.
Meals are varied and healthy. There are lots of activities/themes throughout the year and all staff are friendly and approachable.
The outdoor space is what drew me to Banana Moon Hatton and my son loves spending time outdoors every day, muddy coats = a fun day!
My second child will be joining later this year!

Banana Moon Hatton is a wonderful nursery. The biggest asset is its staff - both the management team who keep you updated on nursery news and plans and the room staff themselves who look after the children with care, love and enthusiasm. My son loves going to nursery - he has become attached to each
of his key people as he moved through different rooms but also to other staff in the rooms too. He comes home full of stories of what he has been doing, delicious food he’s tried, what he has learnt through play and full of enthusiasm about the letter of the week or the monthly theme. He has made good friends and I love hearing anecdotes from the staff at pick up or seeing photos of his adventures through the nursery app. I love the emphasis placed on being outdoors too - not many nurseries can boast so much space outside for the children to explore. I would highly recommend Banana Moon Hatton to anyone looking for a loving, caring, friendly setting for their child.

My daughter has been at Banana Moon Hatton for the past two years and I'm very happy with our experience so far. The nursery is in a lovely converted barn setting with lots of open space; the children play outside in all weather using lots of heuristic toys. The food at the nursery is all homemade and
provides the children with a varied diet. All of the staff are friendly and approachable and know my daughter by name. The app is great at keeping us updated during the day and we always get a good handover at pick up. My daughter has really flourished and grown in confidence during her time at nursery and runs in each morning without looking back. I work full time but taking her to nursery feels less of a necessity and more like I'm taking her to an activity that she enjoys. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Banana Moon to others and, if we ever had a second, I would definitely send them to Banana Moon.

My youngest daughter is currently at Banana Moon Hatton. They have a done wonderful job with taking care of both of my children and I would recommend the nursery to all parents. The facilities, management and nursery staff, activities and food are excellent. As a parent, you really feel part of a family
at Banana Moon Hatton and I am very grateful for that as trusting your children to any care provider is a big decision. They have also handled the Covid pandemic as thoughtfully and as flexible as possible.

My son thoroughly enjoys his 3-days a week with the Banana Moon team. Every single staff member I’ve come into contact with has been welcoming, and nothing is too much trouble. It’s been such a safe environment during Covid, and it’s been great to have regular updates from the leadership team - thank
you! I enjoy hearing about the themed weeks and seeing/hearing all the new things my son has learnt. The transition from under 2’s to toddlers was seamless - thank you, everyone! A special mention to the chef who prepares some wonderful menus!

My son joined Banana Moon in February 2021, at the age of 12 months. I had reserved his place back in early summer 2020 and due to Covid, this meant I was not able to meet the staff or view the nursery in the usual way - I had to put my faith in the excellent reviews and recommendations from friends
and neighbours. I am happy to say that my experience has completely lived up to the expectations. My son settled into nursery life quickly, despite the unusual circumstances. Communication has been excellent and staff are friendly, warm and welcoming. We get regular updates on his development. We really couldn't ask for better childcare for our son and we're over the moon with our decision to send him to Banana Moon!

My son started at Banana Moon Hatton in July 2020, I was a little nervous but felt reassured by all of the Covid procedures they have put in place. They keep the parents updated with all the latest policies and procedures so I know it is safe for him to be there. The staff are extremely welcoming and
supportive and I have seen him progress and change so much that I know I made the right choice by putting him in the nursery.

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.
