Our family lives outside of London, so when looking for childcare it was essential that we found somewhere with consistent staff who our son could form real connections with. We love the team at Moonlight everyday starts with huge smiles and cuddles and he’s kept busy with lots of playing in the garden, learning how to use art materials, sharing and being kind and even helping to make pancakes.
He’s thriving and we couldn’t be happier.

Our daughter has been with Hilal at Moonlighting since she was 1 years old; as terrifying as it was to pass the care of our child to someone else Hilal made, and has continued to make, the experience seemless and has filled us with confidence in our decision.
Hilal fosters a kind and safe environment for all the children in her care, backed by her expertise and clear passion for working with children. Our daughter loves going every day and runs in the door to hug everyone as soon as she arrives.
Over the year she has been with Hilal we have watched our daughter grow into a confident, gentle and funny person, a transformation that is in no small part down to Hilal's patience and kindness.

We have absolutely loved Hilal and her wonderful team, Ebru and Sinem, and our daughter Mily adores them as well. Mily started with Hilal at just 11 months old, and we’ve been amazed at how much she has thrived. Her personal and language development, as well as her confidence, have flourished, and I truly believe the warm, engaging, and supportive environment Hilal has created has played a huge role in that. The variety of home-cooked meals, the thoughtfully planned curriculum, and the emphasis on exploration and outdoor play make every day enriching and exciting. From the moment I met Hilal and heard her passion for early years, I knew my daughter was in the best hands, and I couldn’t be more grateful.

From the bottom of my heart, I am incredibly grateful to have found Hilal and her exceptional team (Ebru and Sinem). Their warmth, dedication, and genuine care have become irreplaceable to our family. I was very anxious about returning to work and missing those precious moments with my son, so I was determined to find the perfect environment for him.
Hilal goes well beyond any expectations I had, she loves each child as if they were her own. My son now sees her as a cherished member of our family, and every day he benefits from the safe, nurturing, and joyful space she creates. Whether she’s gently rocking him to sleep during nap time, or offering him personalised attention that makes him feel truly special, her commitment is evident in every detail.
I completely trust her judgment when it comes to hiring wonderful staff, preparing delicious and nutritious meals, and engaging the children with fun, educational activities. Simply put, Hilal and her team have exceeded all my expectations. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Moonlight has been the best first childcare experience I could have hoped for, for my toddler. His development has sky-rocketed since joining as a little baby and he is excited to see his friends and teachers every day.
Everyone at moonlight truly loves my son like he was their own and I’ve never once felt worried about leaving him. I have full confidence he’s in the best place possible.
The photo updates throughout the day are enough to see how just how happy he is. I look forward to them everyday! It’s obvious that the team at moonlight put so much thought and care into preparing stimulating and fun activities for the kids, and I can honestly I’ve never had a happier little boy!

Our family unequivocally recommends Hilal and Moonlight to any new parents looking for a loving, safe, joyfilled, engaging and inspiring environment for your child. Hilal's background and expertise in early childhood development is such an asset, and our daughter thrived in her care. The setting is calm, always clean and pleasant, and every day some new intriguing subject or craft or outdoor activity for the children to explore. Hilal's homemade meals were always healthy and well balanced and happily enjoyed by the children. Our daughter started at Moonlight when she was 1, having just moved to London from the US -- despite this huge upheaval, she settled with Hilal so quickly and in no time was thriving. She clearly felt genuinely loved, and grew into the self-assured and curious 3 year old she is now. She also had no trouble at all adapting to Pre-School at Gordonbrock thanks to Hilal's fun-filled introduction to learning and socialization!

We have had mixed experiences with childcare before and we weren't happy with our previous nursery setting. We wanted to find a setting that had great educational resources and structure but also provided a more loving and "home from home" environment. We met Hilal and immediately knew that we found the one. She is such an impressive person and runs such a wonderful setting. Our son has never been happier and adores going there in the morning.

My daughter has been coming to Moonlight since January. She has settled in so well and is so so happy in Hilals care. We get regular updates and pictures throughout the day so we know she is happy and thriving! I couldn't wish for a more attentive, kind and caring teachers for our daughter. Thank you, Hilal! ❤️

Moonlight has been the perfect first setting for our little one, a nurturing and loving home away from home. Noa goes in and comes out with a smile on her face every day, which says it all. Thank you to Hilal and her team for their dedication and care!

Our daughter has been at Moonlight for over a year and I can honestly say with absolute certainty than this is the best setting for her. All the teachers love her like she is their own and the quality of both care and learning is incredible. Plus all the healthy home cooked meals are a big bonus!

Hilal is exceeded our expectations in every possible respect and we could not be happier with the service that she provides.she has an exceptional(and rare) work ethic and passion for what she does. And Mason thrives at Moonlight!

As first time parents, trusting somebody with your baby is a big deal but neither of us have ever felt anything other than confidence in the safety of Juno when in Moonlight’s care.Hilal’s communication with us is brilliant and we trust her always.

Hilal has a fantastic setting that is not only very safe but also extremely engaging and fun for the children.They make every effort to engage the children with lots of reading, imaginative play and nature exploration.We can not recommend enough.

Looking for the right environment and person to leave your child with is a hard process. Our journey was not smooth sailing but the moment we met Hilal we knew we had found the one.
