With each child’s interests placed at the heart of staff's planning, a day at Banana Moon Day Nursery in Moseley, passes quickly.

Yes, time really does fly when you're having fun, with children learning through play.

Messy play, role playing, age appropriate toys, outdoor equipment and lots of other children to play with helps children learn in a safe and secure stimulating environment.
   
During play sessions, children are encouraged to be independent and to make their own choices from lots of different activities.

Children gain increased levels of confidence and are more socially astute thanks to their time at the nursery, enabling them to get the very best start in life.   

Parents are encouraged to tell staff their views to help the nursery improve and grow- just like its children.

We have been attending this nursery since 2020 and my daughter absolutely loves it. The staff are lovely and so are the managers. The nursery is so clean and well-organised and the app helps so much to see what they get up to in the day. I now have my second daughter starting and the settling-in sessions
have been so great. Cannot wait to see her blossom just like her sister. Thank you for all that you do and keep doing - the manager and the amazing team.

Reply from Esther Boulton, Manager at Banana Moon Day Nursery Moseley

Thank you for your kind words and positive feedback, we are looking forward to starting the journey again when your daughter too.

My daughter has been attending Banana Moon for the past two years and has blossomed beautifully. Both my son and daughter have serious allergies, and this was the only nursery that was able to meet my son's healthcare needs six years ago, hence when I had to select a nursery for my daughter, I didn't
think twice. The nursery has adapted its routine to ensure that my child is always included in all aspects of learning and that her allergies are taken very seriously. The management team are extraordinary; they are very approachable with an open-door policy and are fantastic at helping us parents feel valued. A highly recommended nursery. Knowing that your child is in safe hands is a beautiful feeling!

From the very first walk around before we even decided to choose the nursery, the care, personal approach and dedication to the children were evident. Everyone is so very friendly and warm. Their approach to the settling-in sessions really put me at ease, and they were keen to spend time getting to
know my son and his likes and dislikes. In talking to other friends, Banana Moon’s settling-in sessions seem far better and more frequent than other nurseries.
The setting is lovely, and the staff take a personal interest in being creative and making the most of the activities for the children. The food is fantastic, homely and varied. I love dropping him off and picking him up to see his little face so full of excitement and love for the ladies looking after him - we found a gem, and I would not hesitate to recommend this nursery.

Reply from Esther Boulton, Manager at Banana Moon Day Nursery Moseley

Thank you so much for this lovely review. I am very proud of our staff team and the genuine love and care they have for all the children here at Banana Moon, Moseley. I honestly love coming to work each day and spending time chatting and getting to know both the children, parents and staff.

Banana Moon Day Nursery is a very lovely nursery my daughter started this nursery in 2020 and has enjoyed every moment of it she started here an independent but shy young girl as time has gone on she has come out of her shell so much more and exceeded her development with the dedication of her ladies
at the nursery. The staff are all warming and welcoming they give nothing but the best cuddles, well-educated and patient people.
The food that is provided for the children my daughter loved and when attempted at home she wouldn't eat it but would have second servings at nursery.
I would definitely recommend this nursery to all parents and guardians.

A brilliant nursery overall. We sent our son here from the age of 1 year old. As first time parents we were apprehensive about sending him to a nursery at such a young age. I can honestly say Banana Moon took all the worries away with regular updates on how our son is doing throughout the day on the
parent app, and welcomed phone calls to the setting if we wanted to speak to the staff to ask how he is doing. This put our minds at rest. Over the last couple of years, he has really enjoyed himself made some great friends and learnt a lot. The staff are great and do everything they can to make this the best possible experience for a child and parents. Definitely recommend this nursery to everyone and wouldn't hesitate to use Banana Moon again if we have another child.

Banana Moon is a setting where you will see staff happy to be there and even your little one! My son has recently started there a few months ago and has become so independent and showing so many developmental changes, as being my first baby I was very anxious about leaving him but the staff are always
reassuring and happy to help with reliability. The ladies in the baby moon room are great with my son and even the management team are very understanding and relatable. One thing I love about the management team is you actually see them engaging with the children. A big thanks to staff for helping me get my little man all sorted to start a few months back and giving me a virtual show around to stick to covid 19 measures and a big thanks continuously to his key person for all the care she's given also all the lovely ladies in the baby moon room!

Our daughter is nearly 3 and loves going to nursery. She runs in every morning when we drop her off and comes home with a smile on her face. She does a wide range of activities and her meals are a varied and healthy range of food.
She has an excellent bond with the women who look after her and speaks
about them a lot when she gets home. All of the staff are lovely and management are very approachable if I ever need a chat.
Covid has been taken very seriously by the nursery and I have been impressed by the measures they have put in place.
We are very happy with Banana Moon and will be sending our younger daughter when she starts nursery later this year.

I am just about to send my third child to Banana Moon. Both my children have attended the setting since they were babies and have absolutely loved their time at Banana Moon. The staff are extremely professional, kind and welcoming and have made us feel completely reassured that our children are safe
and happy at nursery. The communication is excellent and they are flexible and supportive. The variety of experiences they offer to the children is excellent and they are constantly improving their offer. I would highly recommend Banana Moon.

My eldest son started at Banana Moon in 2015, and left to begin school in September 2019.
My youngest has been at Banana Moon since June 2019.
Banana Moon feels like a family, the staff are incredibly kind and caring, and I’ve always had complete faith that my children are in good hands.
The environment

The children engage in a variety of fun and educational activities, and my boys have loved their time at nursery.

Absolutely fantastic nursery. Could not wish for more from the staff here. They’ve looked after my two daughters from being very young until the eldest went off to school, and have cared exceptionally well for my youngest with complex medical needs. They always strived so hard to make each day an enjoyable
experience for all the children, and so many fun, messy learning experiences and lovely outdoor space. Five stars!

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.483)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.483) out of 10 for Banana Moon Day Nursery Moseley is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.483 for Banana Moon Day Nursery Moseley is calculated as follows: ( (241 Excellents x 5) + (22 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) + (27 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 300 Ratings = 4.483

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Banana Moon Day Nursery Moseley is based on 22 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 + 0.1 = 4

    • 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 90 number of registered child places is 18, which has been reached with 22 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • 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.
