Banana Moon Day Nursery
MOVI
We work on a maximum of a 3:1 children-tostaff ratio, with the continuity of staff being a priority.
Our Baby Moon rooms are bright, cheerful and stimulating, offering a caring environment. The emphasis is very much on providing home-from-home care with lots of play, love and attention.
Children are encouraged to explore the world of colour, shapes and texture through the use of natural light, toys, adult interaction and lots of sensory experiences. Here at Banana Moon, we work closely with you to ensure your baby’s home routine is followed. This provides continuity and stability for you and your child.
To ensure a smooth, stress-free transition from home to nursery life, convenient settling-in sessions are always arranged. During these sessions, which you will attend, your baby’s needs and any special requirements can be discussed with nursery staff.
Mini Moons
At two years of age, your child will enter the world of our Mini Moons. This environment caters for children aged two to three years of age with a maximum of a 5:1 children-to-staff ratio.

Potty training and support
With the children’s interests being at the centre of all planning, the day passes by quickly as the fun never stops!
Children learn through play. During free play sessions, children are encouraged to be independent and to make their own choices from a wide range of different activities.
A structured day is centred on individual learning where progress is carefully observed and recorded by your child’s key person. This, coupled with lots of fresh air, provides a busy day for all in our pre-school environment.
At the end of their time in pre-school, the children will have increased levels of confidence and be socially interactive, thus they experience a smooth transition to full-time schooling and a logical progression of their continued learning.

Our facilities at Banana Moon Day Nursery
Sleep room
Every Banana Moon setting has a dedicated sleep room with soft lighting and natural wood cots. This calm and quiet room provides a restful environment for babies. All sleeping babies are, of course, very closely monitored to ensure their safety and well-being.
Outdoor play
In addition to all of the indoor activities and facilities, the children go outside every day throughout the year for fresh air and exercise. Banana Moon considers outdoor play to be an essential part of children’s learning and development.
Interactive screen
An interactive learning experience that allows children of all ages to explore the world of ICT.
CCTV and biometric security
CCTV operates throughout our nursery. This added security protects children, staff and parents as well as acting as a deterrent to any unwelcome visitors. Security is of paramount concern at Banana Moon.
With this in mind, we operate a fingerprint biometric access system to protect children and nursery staff. This system allows nursery personnel to register parents’ fingerprints in seconds. Parents then simply press their fingerprint on a sensor pad at the door to gain fast, easy access. They can leave or collect their children without fuss, while unregistered visitors must ring a bell and wait for a member of staff. The biometric system is far more secure than any PIN code or swipe card system and leaves our staff free to concentrate on looking after your little ones, rather than having to rush away to answer the door.
