About us
Banana Moon Day Nursery was started in
2006 as a result of the difficulties
encountered by one of our directors when
trying to place his own children in what he
considered to be a good quality day nursery.
It soon became clear that the standards he
required could not be met by any of the childcare businesses he visited, as a result of which
the decision was taken to open his own nursery.
Initially this was done by securing a franchise in an existing day nursery network, but it soon
became apparent that the nursery had outgrown the franchisor and was in fact leading the
development of the franchise, in terms of business modelling, legislation and codes of
practice, so a decision was made to remove the business from the franchise network and go
it alone under the “ Banana Moon Day Nursery” brand. During this period a second nursery
had been opened to serve the increasing local demand and within just a few months the
nurseries were being recognised as the best in Warwickshire.
Why franchise?
The founders of Banana Moon Day Nursery have always remained convinced that franchising
is an excellent route to business success.
It is imperative that the franchise model is thoroughly tested and well defined and that the
franchisor has sufficient skills and experience to provide the necessary support for any new
franchisee starting out. It is a
result of this previous experience

The Banana Moon concept is essentially
quite simple, however there are certain
crucial factors which have ensured its rapid
growth and continued success. In order for
franchisees to replicate that success it is
imperative that the quality standards are
maintained and that the current business
model, including all of it is operating systems
are adhered to in their entirety. It is for this
reason that franchisees will only be awarded to candidates who demonstrate a commitment
to maintain and uphold these standards. It is by doing so that Banana Moon Day Nursery
can be sure that the franchisees will enjoy similar levels of success, ensuring that the financial
and lifestyle aspirations of each franchise can be met and exceeded and that the brand
continues to grow throughout the UK and beyond.

Rachel Kelly always knew she wanted to be her own boss; if she could deal with the
stresses and strains of someone else’s business, why not her own?
making any decisions my husband and I thoroughly researched the market. We
 Before
came across Banana Moon and after meeting the team, the decision was simple. We
loved the Banana Moon character and brand too – a priceless marketing tool.
The journey which followed was far from easy though. Banana Moon provided us with
fantastic support and guidance from the outset, however it was up to us to push forward
the search for a property, manage the building works, develop positive relationships
with the local community and ultimately get a nursery we could be proud of.
Now up and running, we can appreciate how the ongoing support from Banana Moon
has been invaluable. We are visited regularly by the team (largely made up of ex
nursery managers – so they really know what they are talking about!) who provide us
with help and guidance on how we are doing. This is an invaluable part of the service
that really helps us to keep heading in the right direction and complying with all relevant
legislation.
In a nutshell, would I recommend Banana Moon if you want to open your own nursery?
Yes! But ultimately it’s YOUR business, so up to you to make it a success. To use a
cliché, ‘it has been a rollercoaster ride’, but I can honestly say that I love every day.

Choosing to take voluntary redundancy from her 15 year
career in law enforcement, Susie approached Mark Bates at
Banana Moon Day Nursery with regards to investing in a
children’s day nursery franchise.
On paying her deposit Susie’s territory was secured and Banana
Moon got to work looking for property. Banana Moon soon found
a beautiful barn conversion set in fantastic rural surroundings.
Banana Moon at Lower Sundon near Luton opened their doors in
November 2011. Now many Parents and children are enjoying the
fantastic facilities available.
I was sold with Banana Moon after my first visit,
with
their team’s support, advice and experience
which was and is second to none. They do exactly
‘what it says on the tin’ – from finding property,
getting planning approval, training etc. to opening
the doors. Since opening in November I have
been inundated with interest from parents wanting
a ‘first class’ nursery in my area.
