Both my son and daughter attend the nursery and they are very happy there. My son has been there for 2 and a half years and in that time has built very close relationships with the staff and other children, as have we as parents. They are very keen to involve parents in their child's learning journey
as much as possible and always open to new suggestions. The love that the staff have for the children is very apparent and there is no doubt that the children are incredibly well cared for. I would definitely recommend this nursery to other parents and will be sad when the time comes for our children to move on from here.

Reply from Shana Manning-Vassell, Manager at Banana Moon Day Nursery Nunhead

My son has been at Banana Moon for several months and is happy. He has a tricky settling in period but staff were helpful and accommodating.
Children do a good range of activities and staff are warm and friendly towards them and to each other.

Recently the nursery has seen almost a complete turnover in staff. However, management ensured that there was very little effect on the running of the nursery and as a parent, I was kept informed of what was happening. Children seem happy and are eager to go in. My son had a delay in his speech and
this was picked up by the new manager on the very first day! Picked up and referred immediately which I really appreciate. Staff are friendly and takes feedback on board.

Dear Kersha,
Thank you so much for your review. At the nursery, we work very closely together as a team.
We all want the very best for our children and we put the children's needs and welfare first at all times in the nursery.

The staff at this nursery are so affectionate, sensitive and resilient when it comes to interacting with the children. Our children have learned a lot in the short space of time they have been there. They have a lot of outside space in which to stretch their legs and they are taken on outings in the
local community. The new pre-school room is great too.

Current Review Score: 8.2 (8.196)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.2 (8.196) 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 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.3 out of 5 from 2 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 4.917 for Banana Moon Day Nursery Nunhead is calculated as follows: ( (22 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 24 Ratings = 4.917

  • 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 3.279 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Banana Moon Day Nursery Nunhead is based on 2 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 = 3.125

    • 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. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 13 = 0.154

  • 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.
