Overall Experience

Amazing nursery which is very well-run by superb management who are always friendly and helpful. The staff are very caring and take really good care of the children. There is always a wide range of fun activities for the children and I love the daily diary which is informative and lets you know what

your child has been doing, including photographs which are always very much appreciated, the diary from babymoons is great as you get a personalised update on your child. We travel 25 miles round trip to get our children to Banana Moon Day Nursery and it is well worth the journey. For anyone considering a nursery, I would definitely contact Banana Moon. I can't recommend it highly enough.

Overall Experience

My child has been at Banana Moon Day Nursery Chipping Norton since September and has settled in really well. There are regular staff that work in each room and this has really helped with the settling in process. We get regular daily updates about activities and food. They also upload pictures to the

app so we can see what they have been up to. I feel assured that my child is well cared for and looked after during the day. They offer a good variety of healthy food and snacks and do lots of fun and interesting activities. My child really enjoys going to nursery and has a good relationship with the staff in her room. I would highly recommend Banana Moon

My daughter has been at Banana Moon Day Nursery Chipping Norton since age 1 and has really thrived. All rooms have been so caring but also focused on progression. The staff are all absolutely lovely and a great blend of loving and authoritative! The nursery is really clean and has great facilities and

equipment. Shout out to the chef who even manages to get the kids to enjoy Japanese rice and fish cakes!

Overall Experience

My son has been attending Banana Moon Day Nursery Chipping Norton now for just over 2 years. We think the nursery is wonderful! The staff all go above and beyond to get to know the children for example, incorporating animals to encourage my son to try different activities! They supported him so well

through potty training and nothing is too much trouble if I ever have anything to raise.
It's great that the management team have invested in the nursery too with better outside provision, as the children all enjoy that. My son loves the mud kitchen and playing outside!
We love hearing about the variety of activities they've been up to during the day and seeing photos on the app. The menus are varied and they've catered easily for my child's allergy.

My baby joined while 5.5 months old. As a first-time mum, I was anxious leaving my little girl but she settled in so fast. She is growing surrounded by the most amazing staff. She's been there for four months and she's so happy and confident. She absolutely loves it.
This gives this mama peace of mind,

I couldn't have asked for a better daycare!

Overall Experience

Banana Moon in Chipping Norton has been a haven of consistency, stability and caring during what has been a very tough time for my son and I. My wife died last year when my son was 18 months old. The manager and the team have been amazing throughout, both when my wife was ill and since her death. They

have gone out of their way to help us, they are very sensitive to our needs, and it gives me great comfort to know that my son is being looked after well. I would recommend this nursery to anyone in the area.

Overall Experience

My son loves his nursery, but not as much as I do, he is the best version of himself at Banana Moon Chipping Norton. He asks for second portions of vegetables at nursery! At home, I can’t beg him to touch anything green without it being launched at poor daddy. At nursery, he sits quietly in a circle

and plays nicely with the staff, who he loves to learn from. At home, he just likes to party and wrestle his daddy. At nursery, he sleeps on request every day; at home, he’s party mode all day and night. He learns most of the best things he does at Banana Moon. I’m so grateful for them. I wish I got dropped off there each morning.

We cannot recommend Banana Moon more. Our son has been incredibly happy there since he started in January 2023. He transitioned from his previous nursery seamlessly and that is down to the team at Banana Moon. They make a huge fuss of him on arrival, he feels heard, valued and included. He has made

lovely friends and is thriving there. I would not hesitate to advise any parent seeking out a nursery in the area to head to Banana Moon. Well done guys - you are doing a fabulous job. Thank you.

Our daughter started back in April at 17 months. She has always loved going to and being at Banana Moon Day Nursery Chipping Norton, she talks about it all the time at home which is a great sign and very comforting for us as parents. The staff have been great, keep us informed daily of what the children

have been doing and clearly care about them a lot.

We couldn’t be happier with Banana Moon and can’t recommend them highly enough! My son joined at 13 months and has complex medical needs so I was understandably nervous about the change for him, although the staff were very reassuring and filled me with confidence about how he would be looked after.

I am so delighted to say that he adores going to nursery and genuinely gets so much out of it in terms of his development. What makes this nursery so special is the staff: every single staff member is unbelievably kind, thoughtful and welcoming, and I truly feel that they care about the children like they’re their own! All the updates and communication with home are excellent, and it’s so nice to see all the different activities they do every day. Overall the standards for everything they do are so high - it’s inspiring. Thank you, Banana Moon!

Absolutely incredible nursery.
We couldn't look around nurseries before our daughter was born due to lockdown but we went with our gut and really struck gold with Banana Moon Day Nursery.
I can't fault anything, the staff are incredible and you know they genuinely care for and value your children.

Any issues are quickly dealt with.
I recommend to everyone in need of a nursery!

This is just the most wonderful, wonderful nursery! Our two year old daughter has been there since April and each week her development is coming on leaps and bounds. It’s so clear to us how happy, safe, and stimulated she feels thanks to the caring staff, charming environment, and very thoughtfully

considered programme of activities. We had no idea what to expect, as this is our first child, but we have just been consistently delighted by the whole experience as, it seems, has our daughter.

Banana Moon, Chipping Norton is a fantastic nursery. The staff are extremely kind, caring and fun! We could not have asked for a better nursery for our daughter, she is so happy and loves going to nursery. From the first day, the team have reassured me totally as a parent and our daughter settled so

quickly. The development we see in our daughter week to week is amazing and she learns so much through the nursery. Our daughter also adores the food and the menu from week to week is so healthy and varied.

Overall Experience

Our little boy joined in Oct when he was 16 months old. As a first-time Mum, I was really nervous about my son starting nursery, but Banana Moon was incredibly understanding and very good at talking things through and giving me plenty of reassurances. They shared lots of feedback during the day whilst

my son was settling in - exactly what I needed to feel confident he was being well taken care of, and if he was having a tough day they would let me know and we would decide together what to do. Three months in he is having a wonderful time and as parents, we are thrilled that we found the right nursery. He’s always babbling away in the car on the way home so I know he’s having a great time and he’s learning new words and new dance moves every week! Love the daily diary reports and pictures that come through at the end of the day, always a highlight of our evening. Would fully recommend Banana Moon Chipping Norton!

Overall Experience

My son started here in June 2021 at 13 months old and we couldn't be happier. The staff are lovely and genuinely seem to enjoy spending time with the children and my son has grown extremely attached to a couple of them in particular which is really lovely to see. We've seen enormous progress in him

since he started - he's more confident and has developed skills that we then see at home. They spend lots of time outside as well as participating in messy play (both outdoors and in). There's also a strong emphasis on making sure their food is nutritious and varied.
We had a period last autumn where he was really unwell and in and out of the nursery and the staff were so accommodating and supportive which made our lives much easier at a very difficult time. They helped him to settle back in and it was hugely reassuring for us to know that he was being well looked after.
We're so pleased we chose Banana Moon and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. They really have been brilliant and we're so grateful.

My daughter has been attending Banana Moon since she was 10 months (started Oct 2021) and we have been so impressed with everything about the nursery! The staff are all wonderful and take real care and interest in the children, they all knew her by name after the first week. My daughter is always excited

to go in every morning and happy at the end of the day.
The different types of play they do are fantastic, it’s always fun seeing what they’ve been up to that day on the blossom app. The food is also amazing, there is a real variety and my daughter finishes every meal! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Banana Moon to anyone.

We couldn’t be happier with Banana Moon! My son immediately settled straight in and the staff were so welcoming! Each member of staff seems to really understand each individual's needs and it’s so lovely to discuss my sons day with them and have them really notice his little personality developing just

like we would at home! The Banana Moon app is also amazing and so nice to feel connected to what my son has been doing each day! I cannot recommend it enough!

My son joined Banana Moon when he turned 3 years old in March last year. He loves going to nursery. The teachers are kind, patient, friendly and have so many wonderful and creative ideas of ways to help the children learn and enjoy playing and socialising. There is such a fun, happy atmosphere and my

son is always coming home demonstrating new skills he has learnt there. The teachers provide a daily diary and plenty of feedback at pickup too. They are always happy to answer questions and help with anything that your child needs. Would highly recommend.
