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.

My daughter has flourished since starting at Banana Moon Hatton. All the staff are so friendly, and my daughter loves going to nursery. I have seen her grow in confidence and become very independent. Each week they have a different theme, and constantly engage the children. My daughter can't praise
all the staff enough! The nursery doesn't treat you like a number but takes time to always ask you for feedback. I would highly recommend the nursery to any parent. It's hard to decide when leaving your child, but for me, I left her in the right hands, and she always comes home happy, smiling and full of stories of what she has been doing.

Thank you for your lovely feedback! We are so glad you are enjoying the weekly themes!

My son has been at Banana Moon Hatton for 6 months now in the under 2’s room and he is thriving there, he can’t wait to go and play when we get to the door!
The updates on the app are brilliant (nappy changes, snacks/meals, naps, activities) and really put me at ease when he first started and I was
anxious, but I also knew I was able to ring up and check on him at any point to see how he was doing.
I love the setting of the nursery, it’s very homely inside and outside it’s so spacious, clean and so many things for the kids to do when they go outside.
The food is fantastic, the menus that are provided are great so I know what he will be having that week, the app then gets updated with how much he ate.
The staff are so lovely, can’t do enough and are always there if you need anything. My son has a key person and they have formed such a bond I have no worries at all when he is in her care, he reaches to her as soon as he can see her now!
10/10 nursery, we love it.

Super nursery! Have recommended to friends due to the home from home family feel of this establishment. A huge orchard for the children to enjoy, which they do in all weathers! Lots of experience, resources and an abundance of energy from the friendly staff. Drop off in the mornings are made easy by
a smiling face, albeit it with facemasks on at the moment. Communication between home and nursery is made easy by the app so regular updates and photos through the day straight to your phone. A varied healthy diet from the chef who caters for any dietary needs.

Our daughter has attended Banana Moon Hatton for over 4 years and has enjoyed every minute. The staff in every room from Babies to Pre-school know all the children so well and nothing is ever too much trouble. When looking at schools, it has really reminded us how amazing the facilities and activities
at Banana Moon are - especially the outdoor space. From French to Rugby Tots, Forest School to Twirling Toddlers, Yoga to Playbox - a selection of the activities the nursery run beyond the already fantastic selection run by the staff in each room.
It would be fair to say our daughter eats better than we do on an average week with home cooked meals twice a day and second helpings are not an uncommon request. I am sad that our daughter’s time at Banana Moon is coming to an end but will always be grateful for the part they have played in her journey so far. I would have no hesitation in using or recommending Banana Moon Hatton.

We have recently joined Banana Moon in Hatton just before Christmas. My daughter who is 3 and in playschool has thrived since joining. She is becoming more and more independent and confident around others. She enjoys telling us all about what she is doing and learning about. My daughter loves twirling
toddlers on a Wednesday too as an added extra activity! The staff at the nursery have made her feel welcome. They are really welcoming, and take an interest in all the children in their care and speak to individuals by names which I feel is a fantastic show of how much all the children mean to them.

In December 2018 our little girl started her settling in session at Banana Moon Hatton, it took her time to settle in but Banana Moon staff went above and beyond to make sure our daughter was happy and we were feeling reassured. In the middle of January 2019 our daughter started 1 full day a week and
as a mother I can honestly say I found it so hard to let go of her, I rang every few hours and nothing was ever too much, nor was I ever made to feel silly for ringing so many times. Now (March 2019) we have seen the impact the staff have made and we are delighted as parents watching our daughter's progress and we would like to take this opportunity to thank each and every member of Banana Moon Hatton for all the time and effort they put in to providing such amazing services that feel like home from home. My daughter loves it there now and we don’t make phone calls anymore as we are so pleased with the way things have gone that our daughter now attends 4 mornings a week.

I’ve never imagined that we would find a nursery for our son (and now daughter too) as fantastic as Banana Moon in Hatton. The people who care for the children really do care and are simply wonderful with the children and supportive. I’ve seen him really positively develop in the last six months and
I’ve no doubt that is thanks to his time at Banana Moon. Amazing environment, activities, food and most of all the people who he spends time with. Our daughter will join Banana Moon in September and it makes my return to work after leave much less stressful to know she will be cared for at Banana Moon.

My daughter started Banana Moon in January and we are so pleased that after a few weeks she is fully settled and she is enjoying nursery life.
The staff have been very helpful and understanding of some of her potential food allergies. Having returned to work it is reassuring that my daughter is a
happy baby after her nursery day and I look forward to her development in the future, especially when she can talk about her day!
Communication and updates by email are excellent and we feel we can ask any questions we have at any time.
The nursery is safe and clean and all the regular activities are amazing. So far we are really happy we picked Banana Moon!

This nursery and ALL staff have been the most welcoming and allowed our child to settle in ever so well. I have been telling all my network of friends and family how absolutely brilliant this nursery is! Others have not been as lucky as us and were unable to get their children in as Hatton is full -
I’m not surprised - best decision we made was to send our little one here!

Banana Moon Hatton has exceeded our expectations completely. Our son started there at 15 months (now 3 1/2) and absolutely loves going there. All the staff are really friendly and seem to know all the children. They go outside every day which is brilliant and do lots of activities in the room which
I know has allowed our son's confidence and abilities to develop and grow so much. The food is all cooked fresh and the menu is really varied and sounds lovely. The most important thing for us is that every day our son comes home saying he's had lots of fun. We couldn't be happier with this nursery and completely recommend it to everyone.

As soon as we walked into this wonderful nursery, we knew our little boy would be so happy here. Everyone is always smiling and the children are so happy. Every staff member knows the name of every child and it feels more like a family than a nursery. The food is fantastic and there is always lots going
on to include the families in nursery life. The difference in our little boy's confidence over the last year is incredible and this is mainly down to the wonderful, caring people who work so hard to make this nursery the place it is. We will be so sad when it is time to move on and say goodbye to this very special nursery.

My son attended Banana Moon Hatton for 3 years. He loved every minute of it and still talks about nursery a lot, even though he is now at school. We owe so much to the staff team and the fantastic opportunities they gave him. Because of the team and their care, they've helped us to raise a very confident,
happy and inquisitive boy. My son made many friends at nursery and still remembers all of his key-workers and the rest of the staff team fondly, they were like his second family. The facilities at Banana Moon are excellent; the paddock is such a fantastic space for the children to learn and to be outside. We loved the time our son spent at Banana Moon and are so grateful for everything they have done, it really is a fantastic place!

My daughter went to this nursery from the age of one and recently went onto school. She has had an amazing start at Banana Moon Day Nursery Hatton and we were sad to leave! But are very excited to be going back with our second daughter this year!
The nursery is not only a wonderful place for our child
to grow, they have been like a second family to my daughter and us parents! It’s a very special nursery, this is due to the staff that are welcoming and caring, the activities and the environment where they play is super with an outside paddock where they can run around and enjoy being outdoors and the food is great!

My daughter started at Banana Moon Day Nursery Hatton when she was just 8 months. When she left at 3 years old she had turned into a confident, happy and secure little girl. Our family shared every milestone with the wonderful staff (who became more like family friends). Their care was everything I
could have hoped for when I went back to work full time.

I could not recommend this nursery enough. We have received such a warm welcome and I feel very content leaving my little one in the safe and friendly hands of all the lovely staff that work there. The owner is extremely hands-on and the employees should be very proud of the work they do! The environment

Fantastic nursery, my daughter has been here since 2015 and is now in the preschool. The facilities are great, with a paddock outside to play in, lots of engaging activities for her and the nursery staff are all fantastic. She does rugby, dance and Forrest Schools. The food is nutritious and good quality
(and the variety means she often eats better than we do!). My daughter loves going here, and I’m very happy that she is safe and contented. Highly recommended.

Banana Moon is an outstanding nursery which helps develop children in a safe, loving and fun environment. Having already had one son go from 9 months old all the way through preschool, we were so impressed we made the decision to send our youngest who absolutely, loves it here as well. Our eldest made
so many friends during his time at Banana Moon, many of which we are still in contact with, and our youngest who is now at the nursery absolutely loves it. Both our children adore the director and her team and we are always made to feel welcome whenever we step foot through the door. All in all, it is an amazing place where everyone feels almost like family!

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.
