Mark Bates
Founder and Managing Director of Banana Moon Day Nursery Limited
Mark is the Managing Director and founder of Banana Moon Day Nursery. After becoming frustrated with the shortage of good, high quality nurseries into which he would have been happy to place his own children, he decided to take matters into his own hands and build his own! Mark’s approach has always been from the point-of-view of a concerned parent and it is this approach which has led to Banana Moon developing such a unique and distinctive model. Whilst every nursery is clearly governed by current legislation, the Banana Moon system adds a whole new layer of experience on top of this and it is this approach which has resulted in the success that Banana Moon now enjoys.
