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.

Excellent nursery with great staff. They took and take care of my little one and all his needs in learning since he has a speech delay regarding his hearing.
The staff and the Senco delivered a proper plan for his education and we are very happy with his development.
I always recommend Banana Moon
to family and friends.

My child is adopted so I was concerned about her starting nursery, but Banana Moon Moseley has been amazing for her! They are keen to listen and learn and planned a much longer settling in period for her. I have shared resources with staff and these have been implemented throughout the whole nursery.
Staff are extremely loving, positive and caring towards my daughter and she sees nursery as a safe place to be. My daughter has developed so much in the 5 months that she has been there.

Staff has changed quite a few times in a few months so communication hasn’t been the best. We also haven’t had a parents evening as the person who was supposed to do it was off and then it was never rearranged. It may have got confused because she moved rooms.

We have been so happy with our Banana Moon for our daughter’s nursery.
The staff are wonderful and so caring towards her. She’s very fond of them all and I know I’m leaving her in excellent hands when I drop her off.
Her room is always full of exciting activities to do and she talks happily of everything
she’s done when she gets home.
She has really grown in confidence during her time at Banana Moon and made some lovely friends. We will be very sad to end this lovely chapter when she finishes this summer.

I cannot praise this nursery enough - they have been considerate to my child’s need and supported him throughout his entire journey with them!
The staff and the preschool room, in particular, are second to none and I looked at a lot of nurseries before discovering this one.
My daughter is already
on the waiting list for next year and I simply cannot wait to continue having the awesome experiences with Banana Moon.
Highly, highly recommend!

The nursery has been fantastic from helping my son to settle in and helping him to develop and looking after him.
The staffs are friendly, some of them really go a long way to show care for the children. The nursery manager has been great especially during the snow where some nurseries were all shut
this one was kept open which is a real example to show the place is run with parents in mind too. Highly recommended!

I am the mother of a child and I am so pleased that we chose Banana Moon as my daughter's nursery. The staff are so friendly and the atmosphere is always very warm and inviting. My daughter has developed so much with her confidence, learning and social skills. But most of all, my daughter has really
developed with her speech! The staff have really worked hard to ensure that my daughter is able to pronounce words properly. Each day her speech is getting stronger, she is learning new words and is able to say complete sentences without any struggle! I really am very thankful to all the staff there, please keep up the good work as you are doing an amazing job.

The nursery is great and our son has really developed there since starting over the summer.


He was unsettled when he first started but has formed bonds with the staff and now he really enjoys it. He does a wide range of activities which aid his development and we really like the staff.

Banana Moon take great care of our daughter. They are attentive to her social, emotional and educational development. She has so much fun and they take the time to really get to know her and what motivates her.
They provide a wide range of experiences.

Our son spends two full days a week at Banana Moon and has for two months. The staff have always been really friendly and quick to answer any questions about anything. It took about 3 weeks for him to settle fully, during which everyone gave us detailed feedback about his activities, sleeping, eating
and general chat about what he likes. We have always felt like he is well looked after and has a fun time - he is certainly tired at the end of the day even after a long post-lunch sleep! The nursery has comforting security and CCTV and a tank of friendly fish!

My son is always greeted by someone with a happy smiling face. I always get a detailed breakdown of what he has been doing /eating etc. He only goes once a week but has a good relationship with his workers. The food is healthy. I feel happy when I leave him that he will be well looked after. The staff
are lovely and happy and caring. :)

Our son has been attending Banana Moon since August 2014 and we couldn't ask for better care. They recently helped with the potty training process and have been very patient with him. He thoroughly enjoys his days at Banana Moon and is always happy to tell us about his day and what he has done.
He
is now transitioning to the next room and we feel confident he will adjust to this well as the staff have introduced him to the room gradually.

Banana Moon is an excellent nursery. It has a very friendly warm atmosphere. They know my son well and have taken time to understand his needs. He loves going to nursery and enjoys spending time with all the staff. He does a very wide range of fun activities and is trying lots of different things. The
range of food is also excellent. The staff are very prompt in dealing with any queries and the whole experience is excellent.

My little girl started here full time at this nursery when she was 7 months old. I was very apprehensive about her being there every day, so I could return to work. All of the staff are incredible, they look after her as if she was their own. She has now been attending for 12 months and she absolutely
loves it. I know she is happy there. Everyday I am told about all the activities she has taken part in and I am amazed. Her development is excellent due to the social aspect - I can not thank the staff enough, they are angels!

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.
