View Full Details of Banana Moon Day Nursery CavershamI have had two children at Banana Moon Day Nursery Caversham. My son, who is now at school, attended from 2021 to 2024 and flourished under their care. He is a confident, happy little boy who still talks about his trip to the recycling centre, seeing the baby chicks hatch and caring for his class pet, Crush the tortoise. He loved his time there. My daughter, who is 18 months and still attends, is a much more reserved, shy child. She struggles in new settings and being away from me. However, after a few weeks with a member of staff in baby moons, she had made a secure attachment and now runs into her room genuinely excited to be at nursery. I have always felt care and safeguarding are a priority at the nursery. At my instruction, no photos of my children have ever been shared online or in marketing and we are given regular reminders to maintain security in the building. Accidents are well documented and illnesses are dealt with swiftly.
I am very pleased with my child's development. Not only the key staff but all the staff take care of my child equally. The staff are very competent. Also, the kind of initiatives they take for teaching the kids on different cultures, traditions, also the act of kindness, we believe, those are wonderful. My son joins the dancing class every week as well which he thoroughly enjoys.
All the staff at Banana Moon Day Nursery are incredibly helpful and clearly care about our daughter, who started this month. They all seem to understand her as an individual and the daily diary of her day is helpful for seeing how she has got on. They provide good quality food, three meals a day and snacks. Our daughter always comes home happy and exhausted! We know she is well looked after and that is all we can ask for as parents.
Both my children have attended Banana Moon Day Nursery Caversham for over four years in total. They have been amazing, such kind staff, always going above and beyond for us. They organise wonderful events throughout the year and are so good with feedback. We feel so lucky to have them there. Thank you!
The staff and management were excellent in listening to my child's special needs on diet. Even had a discussion arranged with the head chef and they had a food plan drafted for my child. Very pleased and happy with the nursery.
We've had both our children on at Banana Moon Day Nursery since they were a year old and I've nothing but good things to say. They love it, the staff are really friendly and keep us informed of what's going on. Would recommend to anyone.
Banana Moon has been absolutely incredible with our child since the very first settle. The staff is phenomenal and attentive, the facilities are clean and inviting, and they’ve done a wonderful job of caring for our boy. We couldn’t be happier with them and can’t recommend them strongly enough.
It is a great nursery. I found it very expensive though, similar to all childcare for small children in Caversham. However, as for the nursery, we are very happy. The groups are not too big, care and staff are very good, the garden is bigger than it looks from the outside. My daughter loves going to Banana Moon and has both development and fun!
Great nursery with lovely, friendly staff. I’ve got two children there and so have had experience of all the rooms. It’s got a really lovely community feel to it. The activities the children do are varied, and they play in the garden daily (weather permitting). The garden isn’t huge but does have good equipment, and the kids like it. No complaints.
Banana Moon in Caversham is a fabulous nursery where my son, after a difficult settling-in period at 18 months old, has flourished. The nursery is wonderfully managed and the management team always provides support and guidance when needed. The manager and key worker of my son have been keen to help my son with his S and L delay by seeking external guidance and putting new practices into place. I would highly recommend Banana Moon in Caversham to anyone seeking a nursery. I know my son will miss nursery when he leaves at the end of the year, as will I!
Banana Moon Day Nursery is such a vibrant, educational and caring place. My son is very happy to go, play or experience new things or textures as well as learn new rhymes. Both my partner and I are happy to have chosen Banana Moon.
My son has been there since he was 10 months old. Couldn't be more happy. It is great that they have clubs coming to the nursery e.g dance and sports. The only thing that could make it better is to do more reviews often with the parents to discuss what we can do to help develop our little ones learning. Or perhaps using the app to add it there. Also not to mention that every day you have a report from the day which some nurseries don't do.
Excellent nursery with a kind and caring team. We have had 2 of our children come through Banana Moon, with the first being taken care of during the start of the pandemic. They have both developed and thrived in the supportive environment and have greatly enjoyed the many experiences that the team has put on over the years (eg baby chick hatching, Christmas markets, fire engine visits etc).
It is a great nursery. The staff are caring and knowledgeable. They make the setting interesting and have lots of different activities throughout the year. Food is good quality. My son is happy there.
I'm thrilled to share my positive experience with Banana Moon Nursery, which my daughter has been attending since September 2023. The dedicated staff creates a nurturing environment, fostering her development with engaging activities and personalized attention. The facilities are well-maintained, and I appreciate the open communication that keeps me informed about her progress. Choosing Banana Moon Nursery has proven to be an excellent decision for our family, and I highly recommend it to others seeking a caring and enriching childcare experience.
My son started at Banana Moon Caversham in November 2023 just after his second birthday. He had only been with me or my husband and I was worried he would not settle in a new environment with new people. I needn’t have worried. Of course there was the initial settling in period of tears and holding on to me like a koala bear! But the kindness and warmth that all staff showed me and my son was amazing. Within a couple of weeks, he was marching in by himself, not even saying goodbye to me, ready for a fun morning playing with new friends and taking part in exciting activities. I cannot stress enough how the wonderful team has helped make the transition so much easier than I thought possible. Even after the Christmas break, he was very happy to be back. The nursery has a warm, homely vibe and lots of space for the children to play and explore without being on top of each other. I would fully recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a home from home for their child.
Our experience with the staff at Banana Moon has been wonderful. I was nervous about entrusting my baby son to a nursery from such a young age but he loves it there and is so well cared for. He's excited to be dropped off every day and always leaves in a great mood. The staff are superb at providing daily updates through the app and at pick-up. I feel like I always have a sense of what he's up to, how he's feeling, how much he's slept, and what he's eaten. The nursery has a small, intimate feel that has allowed us to feel personally connected to my son's carers. Thank you to the manager and staff!
I have been extremely pleased with the nursery where my 3.5-year-old daughter has been attending for the past year. The staff are caring, attentive, and dedicated to creating a safe and nurturing environment for the children. She was previously in a different nursery, she had a massive problem and would not interact with other children. At Banana Moon, the staff focused on social development. My daughter has not only learned valuable skills but has also made friends and built her confidence during her time there. I am grateful for the wonderful care and education she receives at this nursery, and I highly recommend it to other parents.
The staff at Banana Moon Caversham are extremely kind and friendly. It is a warm and caring environment where our child feels safe. He is learning and growing through his time there, and we are very happy we chose Banana Moon.
My son loves preschool here, he loves his nursery teacher who knows just how to engage him and shows a genuine interest in him. The teachers are always happy and have the room well organised and controlled. They’ve been on a visit to the local church recently for the harvest festival and often have people visit like police and fire engines. They enjoy sports class on Thursday. My son loves the food here and I am happy that it’s all healthy. They have a small outdoor area but have made the most of what they have. I love the book swap area and it’s nice to see the children’s creations around the nursery hallways.
