My daughter has been coming here since she was 1 (3 now) and we love Banana Moon Day Nursery! The staff really care about her and her well-being, every key worker she has had has been absolutely amazing. Her confidence has grown so much and she has made really meaningful connections with the staff and
other children. Thoroughly recommend Banana Moon to everyone.

My little boy (21 months) has been coming to this nursery since last summer. His development has skyrocketed along with his social skills and confidence. He loves coming to nursery and has formed great bonds with the staff in his room.
The staff have been understanding and supportive of any family
issues and I feel my son and all other children are looked after as if they were their own.
Huge thank you to everyone for providing such great care, highly recommended!

The staff are amazing and very tentative. They are very knowledgeable and always try and answer any questions we might have. They take very good care of our child and try their best to accommodate the things we do at home, e.g. potty training or keeping up to date and responding to our child’s second
language. Also, it is very important that they go and play outside at least once a day in the garden. For the specific room our child is in, they do different activities every day and they try and teach the toddlers how to interact with small babies.

As a first-time mum who's had a bad experience with my son's previous nursery, I would definitely recommend this nursery. They've put my mind at ease throughout the whole transition. I feel like all the staff in his room really know him and his likes/dislikes and are really hands-on with him. They treat
him as an individual and you can tell they all genuinely care about all the children. I really like that they feed children often and do different activities every day. I feel confident with leaving my son there and very happy we found this nursery.

Both of our children have absolutely loved Banana Moon. Our youngest has been going there for nearly two years now and his big sister went there until school. The staff are amazing and create a wonderfully supportive environment that really helps kids develop their confidence. The nursery has a lovely
outdoor side and the kids are outside in all weathers. We had a fantastic experience with their SEN support too and found the nursery both willing and able to adapt their processes to support our child.

A fantastic nursery that keeps my daughter happy and learning every day. She loves being outside, and the nursery has a large outdoor area where they take them out to play and explore every day. The team staff are caring, and experienced, and share my child’s progress each day via the app and on pick-up.
Management is great at communicating and also know your child well. We’ve recommended it to many friends.

We moved our 2-year-old daughter here a few months ago when we moved house. We have been blown away by the warmth, care and kindness of the staff, who really give 110% to the children. Our daughter settled in very quickly and never wanted to leave when we go to pick her up! The nursery also seems very
well managed by a fantastic manager. It has fair policies and excellent food provision for the children. The app is really handy too - we love getting updates throughout the day and being able to contact staff through it. Would definitely recommend Banana Moon!

A really wonderful place with staff who clearly care deeply about the children. The is a friendly feel to the place and nothing ever seems too much trouble. Our son has always been happy here and they have always managed to make him settled and happy.
I can't really find fault and would happily recommend
it to anyone with young children. They are a fantastic team, with great management leading them.

Both my children went to this nursery and the staff were always amazing, accommodating, caring and knowledgeable. Their communication was fantastic. Their policies made me feel really secure that my kids were safe at all times. They spent so much time playing educational games and making learning fun,
so when it came to starting school both my kids were well prepared. The garden is a real selling point as the kids have a lot of room to play outside and the staff make an effort to try to go out in all weathers. The food that they served was one of the selling points when we were first looking for nurseries for our first child and Banana Moon stood out among all the others because the food they served was always varied and fresh compared to other nurseries who seemed to just serve things with chips. My kids were fed 6 times most days with fresh meals and snacks, which allowed me to relax knowing they had full tummies. I will always recommend this nursery because they really are the best!

Thank you! I hope both boys are doing well. We miss you! Danni

Our little one loves attending Banana Moon Day Nursery. The staff are so genuinely caring and so are management. Our little one has formed lovely relationships with all the staff.
He is learning lots and loves the range of activities at nursery. The garden space is his favourite but we also love how
spacious the rooms are.
Feedback and communication from staff are excellent. Staff respond so quickly to a child's change in needs and interests.
The food provision is brilliant. The kids get two home-cooked meals a day and the dishes are interesting and varied. Snacks are great too. Our little one eats so well there.
Couldn't recommend this nursery enough. We're so glad we chose it and feel lucky to have it in our area.

I couldn’t recommend this nursery enough. All the staff are amazing, welcoming, enthusiastic and absolutely phenomenal every second of the day. They’ve gone above and beyond to settle my daughter into the transition of starting nursery, especially when all she’d ever known was being at home with me
until the age of 23 months. The meals are varied, they are full of nutrition, cooked fresh and homemade. The outside space is incredible and they spend lots of time outdoors too, they adapt to each child as individuals. It really is like from home to home. My little girl has come on leaps and bounds and has only been there 7 weeks! It’s incredible what she’s learnt in such a short space of time. Keep up the good work Banana Mooners!

I can’t recommend Banana Moon enough!
My child was moved from another nursery after not settling in. Every member of staff at this nursery made so much effort with my child, to ensure he was happy, settled and safe. His speech and confidence are beaming! He has come on so well since being here and
I will always be grateful to them for that.

The nursery has been wonderful in helping my daughter adapt to her new life here in the United Kingdom. The teachers and administrators are very patient and understanding. They are also very friendly and respectful. They take the time to explain my daughter's daily activities to me and also send me
an activities report via the app. My daughter loves her teachers and classmates.

From our first day at Banana Moon all the staff have been incredible, giving our daughter a happy, eventful nursery experience while supporting her development with varied and interesting activities, both inside and outside.
Everyone at the nursery we've dealt with has offered a warm and caring experience.
Communication is excellent. They have become a key part of our child support network.
Our daughter needed lots of support getting to sleep away from home at first but the team at the nursery were fantastic: patient and proactive in helping her to learn to sleep well. After seven months she naps better at nursery than she does at home!

Would recommend Banana Moon Day Nursery Sheffield to anyone in need of child care and will be sending my second child in 12 months time with no hesitation at all.
Not something we had done before as a young family and did have some nerves about it, but from the off the staff were fantastic.
We drop
off with ease and speed, then collect from a very welcoming involved and informative environment.
What they do works really well for all of us.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.948)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.948) out of 10 for Banana Moon Day Nursery Sheffield 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 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 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 4.948 for Banana Moon Day Nursery Sheffield is calculated as follows: ( (183 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 192 Ratings = 4.948

  • 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 Sheffield is based on 16 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 66 number of registered child places is 13.2, which has been reached with 16 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.
