We love Banana Moon, and we're very grateful for the care they give our little boy. We can tell he loves it there and could not be better looked after by his key worker the rest of the staff. The variety and amount of activities he does on a daily basis is a huge plus for us, as is the menu of food
the kids have every day. Couldn't be happier.

I am so happy that my daughter is at Banana Moon in Nunhead (St Mary's site). She is well supported and her continued development is encouraged, she seems very happy and every member of staff I encounter, especially her key workers, are really engaged and friendly. I love that they have the large outside
space that they always seem to be playing in when we pick her up at the end of the day.

Highly recommend this nursery. We've only had good experiences with the staff and our son loves it. He gets a healthy and varied diet, lots of play time and is well looked after.
Our son was 9 months when he started but he feels very well taken care of and it's clear all the staff are passionate about
making his time safe and enjoyable.

Banana Moon staff support my daughter's transition to a nursery setting which initially had challenges.
They made an immediate decision which helped support my daughter with toileting. They have been patient and supported me in various other challenges during our time at the nursery.
I am grateful
for all their support.

I waited for months for my daughter to secure a place in this nursery and all I can say is I'm glad I did! My son also recently started at this nursery. the staff are very helpful, trained and experienced. They provide a friendly and nurturing environment for the children. The nursery is very organised
and ensure that they provide updates on how our children are getting on. The premises are safe and clean at all times. The children always seem happy and relaxed.

The run up to graduation has been amazing, the staff have done so much to make the last few months so memorable for the children and parents.
My daughter has loved her entire time here since day one.
She has grown in confidence and abilities.
The bond she has with all the staff is a beautiful thing.

My son has a wonderful time at Banana Moon. He enjoys a wide range of activities, and the team is always keen to hear and focus on his particular interests inside and outside of the nursery. Communication with the staff is brilliant, and I feel really listened to when I ask a question or query something.
Overall, you can just tell how much the staff care about the children, and they are very proactive in their personal development and finding out what they enjoy. My son has been at both the baby unit and the over 2s site, and both are wonderful.

We cannot recommend Banana Moon Day Nursery Nunhead enough. My son started here when he was 8 months old in the baby room, and we felt really happy leaving him as the staff made us feel very confident that he was well looked after (and he really was!). Communication is a real strong point, and our son
absolutely loved going. He remained here until 2 years old, only leaving due to my maternity leave. Very sad to have to say goodbye!

My child still attends Banana Moon Day Nursery Nunhead and loves it! He started in the baby room and is now preparing to go into the preschool there! It is so comforting to see all the staff with the children as they clearly adore them and this has been a great relief for me. I leave my child at the
nursery knowing not only is he well provided for, socialised and learning but also that the staff are genuinely caring, nurturing and supportive. His language and development has come on leaps and bounds and the thought and effort put into the activities are amazing! Banana Moon Day Nursery Nunhead has definitely been a joy for us!

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.527)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.527) out of 10 for Banana Moon Day Nursery Nunhead is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 9 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.935 for Banana Moon Day Nursery Nunhead is calculated as follows: ( (102 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 108 Ratings = 4.935

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 4.592 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Banana Moon Day Nursery Nunhead is based on 9 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 3.9

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 65 number of registered child places is 13. 9 Positive Reviews ÷ 13 = 0.692

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
