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.

Both my children attend Banana Moon. They have blossomed since starting. My son had limited contact with others due to Covid, the staff made him feel welcome, reassured and safe. They were supportive to me, taking time to talk to me when I pick my children up. I am so grateful to Banana Moon and would
highly recommend.

My two boys both loved their time at Banana Moon Day Nursery Moseley. Both started at just a year old. My eldest son is now in year one at school and the foundations he built for learning at nursery have seen him settle into school and progress so very well. My youngest son is currently in pre-school
at Banana Moon and like his brother his ‘ladies’ have nurtured him and helped him to grow into the confident, happy little chap he is. He sees them as his friends, whilst respecting them as his teachers and he has built great foundations for beginning his school life. They have both made great friendships that I know they will always remember. I’m thankful for their dedication to providing excellent care for my children. I have to add throughout the pandemic I have felt very safe in the knowledge the staff have done everything in their power to protect and keep safe all the children in their care and I have felt, as a key worker, entirely safe to hand over the care of my child. Highly recommend.

The staff at Banana Moon are incredibly nice and friendly people, and they seem to really care about our daughter. They are patient with our daughter and also with us when we can be quite demanding parents. The surrounding is very friendly, and our daughter enjoys going there. However, what has really
blown us away as parents is how much our daughter has progressed since joining Banana Moon about 18 months ago. We would recommend Banana Moon to any other parents.

Great nursery and members of staff are very welcoming and friendly.
My son attends the nursey and I have been pleased with his development over the time he has been attending.
The nursey also has an app which is very useful when checking day to day activities.
Me and my wife have no complaints and
would highly recommend the nursey to friends and family.

Our daughter has been at the nursery since August 2020 and she loves her time there. On the days she is not at nursery she talks about the staff non-stop, showing what a strong relationship she has built with the team. We love the daily updates from the app with pictures showing all the fun and educational
activities she has been up to. We are very pleased we chose Banana Moon and are planning on sending her brother to the nursery when I return to work from maternity leave.

My daughter has been at Banana Moon for almost a year now and is thriving! She enjoys her time at nursery and feels very comfortable with the nursery staff, who are always friendly and caring towards us both. The nursery environment is fun and stimulating for little ones and there is a wide range of
activities, including lots of outdoor play. She seems to enjoy the meals and there is a good variety of food served.
I would not hesitate to recommend Banana Moon to friends and family. Thank you to all the staff for everything you do!

My little boy has been attending this setting for over 6 months. He is almost 2. In this time he has progressed very quickly, with speaking learning and in his confidence. All the staff that work here are friendly, kind and very approachable. I am so glad I made the choice for him to attend this nursery.
I have never had any concerns. He always comes home clean, happy and worn out from all of the fun! Well done to all the staff for making this place so brilliant!

This is a fantastic nursery and always has been. My son attended not long after it opened and my daughter is there now. All the staff are, and always have been, excellent. They are very attentive, kind and caring at all times. They provide a huge range of different activities every day and both my children
have absolutely blossomed as a result of being at this setting. The nursery has coped tremendously during the pandemic and have worked tirelessly to keep parents updated at every stage and make changes within the setting to ensure children can attend. I can’t recommend this nursery enough and I will be really sad in September when my daughter leaves to go to school!

Banana Moon Day Nursery Moseley is an outstanding nursery, I would highly recommend it! The staff always go above and beyond and truly make it a wonderful place. The safeguarding and safety protocols are beyond any guidance. The staff know the children and are always happy to offer advice or help with
development needs. My daughter often forgets to say goodbye when I drop her off in her excitement to get in and see her friends. She has been in three of the groups so far and they have all been outstanding!
The diary app gets updated throughout the day so you can see what they are up to and if they do have a fall the staff call to update you. I honestly never worry about her whilst she is there!

The staff at Banana Moon Moseley are absolutely fantastic! They welcome us with huge smiles every morning, even in these difficult times and on cold snowy mornings!
They cater for my son's dietary requirements with flexibility and positivity.
Their communication is excellent, whether that be on the
gate at pick up, via the app during the course of the day or via email.
I would recommend Banana Moon Moseley to anyone looking for a caring, safe and stimulating environment for their child.

Can’t praise the staff here enough. So caring and dedicated to the children and their enjoyment and learning. My son is very happy here as was his sister before him.
Great toys, activities, play area. Lots of craft and mess just what he loves. Brilliant staff from the management and all the way through
the building.

I am extremely happy with the service Banana Moon Moseley provides and have happily recommended them to friends. The staff are wonderfully warm and caring, they helped my daughter settle in and have been happy to accommodate education/ practice around things challenging my toddler eg teeth-cleaning,
fussy eating aversion to getting messy. Activities provided are stimulating and I really look forward to the updates on the app. The food is excellent and nutritious, my daughter will often be introduced to new foods. Throughout covid, they’ve been very helpful and management are easy to talk to and clearly dedicated to their role. I think for me most importantly I feel secure that the staff are loving people who enjoy their jobs and this means my daughter really loves her time there.

I could not be happier with the experience my son has had at Banana Moon. He has become so confident since attending and is ever so happy there. The staff obviously care for him very much and provide a fun environment. There handling of the pandemic restrictions has been excellent and incredibly
pragmatic.

We send our 21month old daughter for two mornings a week. We know that she has flourished here and become more confident. The nursery workers plan a wide range of varied activities and it's great to see this on the parent app. We love seeing moments captured on the app where we feel part of the journey.
Workers are very approachable and friendly and get to know our child very well.

Banana Moon is a very good nursery. The professionalism and attention to detail (especially given the current Covid-19 protocol) is exemplary. The staff are always very warm, happy and caring to my son, and other children too when I visit for drop off and collection.
The nursery is always very clean,
has nice larger bright rooms, with fun and interesting toys and a well-managed garden.

Both of our children attended. Our youngest had issues with confidence and the team provided a nurturing and positive environment in which to assist in building up our child’s confidence. Our youngest attends now and runs out the door to go to nursery.
Notwithstanding how much the nursery has helped
our children, they also went above and beyond when we had a family issue looking after both of our children for free for an extended period of time. We will always be indebted for this and it shows that their commitment is truly to the children. A truly amazing nursery!

Both of my children really love it at Banana Moon. The staff are welcoming and friendly, the setting is clean and the activities are fun and varied. My children sleep well there too, and we didn’t have the same experience at the first nursery we used.

My son went to Banana Moon for 3 years, he has just left to go to reception. I cannot speak highly enough of the care and love he has received at Banana Moon. From the moment he arrived he has been loved, guided, and cared for with exemplary care and support. The nursery has a family feel, and I feel
it has given him an amazing start in life. The management team listen to your concerns and are always approachable. The way they approached the COVID crisis and managed through it has been wonderful, and I would not hesitate to recommend their care.
The nursery is close to Moseley village, is well equipped and well-staffed. The only small consideration is their small garden but they are never short of resources to play and educate the children with. In summary, wonderful nursery, wonderful caring staff.

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.
