Since my son has started at Banana moon he has come on leaps and bounds with his speech, colours etc. Staff are fantastic with the children. Very understanding and friendly and always have a detailed report of how the day has been and what they have been learning. The app is fantastic too with keeping up to date with everything

My daughter has attended Banana Moon for 14 months, joining just before she turned one. She has loved her time in both the Teenie Moons and Minnie Moons rooms! In Teenie Moons, she had lots of sensory play, a safe space to crawl and explore, and structured activities to support her movement and vocabulary development. She was well cared for, and I could see the team bonding with her and understanding her needs. Now, in Minnie Moons, she's thriving, gaining confidence and independence. The team offers stimulating activities that expand her understanding of the world and grow her vocabulary. She also enjoys messy play, which is great as it saves us doing it at home! I like they have a focus on outdoor time, and that she is so happy there some days she doesn't want to leave! We're very happy with her care, and all the staff are friendly and capable. I would (and have!) recommended Banana Moon to others.

I can't recommend Banana Moon Day Nursery St Albans highly enough! My daughter has thrived in such a warm and nurturing environment. The staff are genuinely caring and attentive, making every child feel special. The blend of structured activities and creative play keeps her excited to learn, and I love hearing about her day when she comes home. Communication is excellent, and I feel truly involved in her progress.

I love Banana Moon St Albans. My son has been there for a year and has had brilliant care and loves going to nursery. Settling somewhere new can be really difficult, but the staff spent lots of time reassuring, cuddling and bringing him out of himself. The staff are so kind, and because it is a small nursery, my son and I know all the staff and lots of the children across the different rooms and feel really at home and a part of the nursery community. I think this will really help him transition smoothly to his next room. I love the special events the nursery has, especially when a company come to visit with animals for the children to see and engage with. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Banana Moon to anyone starting or continuing childcare.

My child is so happy at the nursery. The staff always make sure he is happy and they guide him with all of his milestones. He often talks about his happy experiences with his brother at home. Thank you for all of your support.

My daughter has been attending since September 2023. Her confidence has grown so much and she thoroughly enjoys the activities they do each day. It took my daughter a little while to adjust when she first started, to a new surrounding and new people. However, the staff have been brilliant with helping her settle in and she enjoys it so much.

My daughter has been attending Banana Moon since she was 10 months old and within the space of three to four months she has progressed so amazingly. The staff here are always so welcoming and lovely towards myself and the children. Looking forward to spending the next few years with them all and seeing my daughter progress even more!

Our son has been attending Banana Moon Day Nursery for a couple of months now. The standard of care is excellent and the staff are incredible - fun and caring. The app allows us to see loads of highlights of our son's day and we can see how much nursery has helped his development even in such a short time.

I am very happy with our choice of nursery, the staff are all very caring and professional. I have seen my daughter's confidence grow so much since she has been at Banana Moon, she is always talking about the activities she has taken part in, the staff and all of the friends she has made. My daughter is always so happy to come in to nursery. The nursery is always so clean and tidy.

I could not be happier with my choice of nursery for my 14-month-old daughter. The premises are clean, bright and airy. There is outdoor space which is securely fenced in. The children do appropriate and fun activities every day. The staff are all wonderful and it is clear to see how dedicated they are to the children. My daughter loves all the staff she spends time with at the nursery and they always greet the parents with a smile and a full debrief on how the day has gone. The food looks and smells delicious. I like the app and look forward to receiving updates and photos at the end of each day. The fees are the most reasonable I have come across in the area (although you provide your own wipes and nappies - which still works out less expensive than other places). Overall it has been a really positive experience to send my daughter to this nursery which has made the transition much smoother for us as a family. Thank you.

Our son loves going to nursery at Banana Moon. We have found that his development has come on leaps and bounds since starting at nursery 2 days per week. He regularly comes back with new words he has learned and we can see the difference in the way that he interacts and plays, which is great to see!

The staff have been amazing. They are very caring and very welcoming. The Nursery is fantastic, it's so spacious for young children. During the time that my child has been at this pre-school, he has learnt a lot and beaming with confidence.

This is the first nursery my daughter is going to, and she is almost 4. She started about a month back, and she had a hard time starting the nursery, given that she was at home with me for four years. The management and all the staff were super helpful in settling her and giving her comfort. Everyone was super helpful and understanding during a hard time. She is now more than happy to go there every day, and I'm delighted to send her to Banana Moon since I'm sure she is in good hands.

Wonderful nursery. Amazing, attentive teachers. My son is excited to go to school every day! Teachers wonderful at communicating my son’s experience at school and any needs. Very flexible and open communication.

Our daughter loves going to Banana Moon. She’s champing at the bit in the mornings to get out of the door if she knows she’s going there. The updates we receive about what she does while she’s there are fantastic and the word she mostly uses, once she gets home, is fun. The staff are all wonderful and we know she’s receiving lots of care and attention. The admin is great and emails are always professional and informative. We wish it had been open when our son was little and we can’t rate it highly enough!

My daughter was born 8 weeks early and she has been attending Banana Moon Day Nursery since she was 7 months old. She is now 21 months old and she loves going to nursery. She has been a bit unsettled recently when dropping her off as there has been a change of routine at home but she is quickly comforted and reassured and always comes home smiling. She is developing and growing so well, we can certainly see the influence it makes on her development now that she attends the nursery. The staff are always smiling and caring which is also so lovely to see, therefore I would highly recommend Banana Moon Day Nursery in St Albans.

As a mother of two autistic boys, the nursery and the staff helped me a lot. They work so hard with learning his new things. Try to feel welcome and comfortable here. The nursery applied for EHPC play for my boys, for that, I am extremely thankful.

My son started Banana Moon during the lockdown, and I could not be happier with how the staff made me feel at ease and settle him in. They are all so welcoming, and no job is too much. You are all amazing.

My son always comes home from nursery in a bubbly mood and often brings home paintings, rockets and cards that he has made that day. There is a wide variety of fun and educational activities that fill his day, including games in the garden. The app which includes photos is great at showing me what he has been up to and eaten each day. He has made a tight group of friends and the staff look after him well. Being at Banana Moon Day Nursery St Albans has helped his confidence and interacting with people outside of the nursery. Would definitely recommend.

My son has attended the Banana Moon Day Nursery St Albans for three and a half years. He is due to start school in September 2021, so I observed the nursery at close quarters over the past few years. I have always been very happy with the nursery and its staff. The nursery provides a varied curriculum, whilst putting enjoyment at the heart of the learning experience. It has a very comfortable, welcoming feel about it and the staff have always been very friendly and helpful. During the Covid-19 pandemic, the nursery was quick to adapt to ensure it was able to continue to operate and the staff have worked hard to make the new practices work with as little disruption as possible. Which, during these difficult times, we have been very appreciative of. In all the time my son has been attending the nursery, I have never had any serious complaints but perhaps the best judge of the nursery is my son, who loves going to the nursery!
