Our son has been at Banana Moon for almost a year and we absolutely love it. The staff make this nursery what it is, they are all incredible and like a family. Every member of staff knows our son's name, even if they teach in different classes. He has such a special bond with all his room teachers.
The app keeps us up to date on his day which we like and special events like Christmas parties allow us to meet the other parents. The nursery is so clean, the activities seem really varied and so is the food. I really recommend the nursery.

Reply from Sarah Cordwell, Manager at Banana Moon Day Nursery Wimbledon

Thank you for your kind words, it's a pleasure caring for your child, they're full of smiles! and settled back in after lockdown really well! They've grown so much and it's great to hear them saying some words!

I am very happy with my son's progress since he joined Banana Moon. I highly recommend this nursery.
We see a great improvement in his speech which was a concern for us.
My son will really miss this nursery when he starts his school in September.

Reply from Sarah Cordwell, Manager at Banana Moon Day Nursery Wimbledon

Thank you for your kind words, it's been an absolute pleasure caring for your child, he's so easy going and his progress is evident! He has such confidence now and interacts with everyone telling them all about what he has been up to. We wish him all the best at school! and all the best for you all for the future!

This is a fantastic nursery. The staff are excellent. The Banana Moon app is great for seeing your child's updates, developmental progress and learning throughout the day. My daughter is well-fed and extremely happy when we arrive to pick her up.

My two children have attended this nursery over the past three years and we couldn't be happier. It's a very warm, friendly nursery with great staff. The nursery itself is always very clean and the food is outstanding. It really makes a difference to have an on-site chef who is able to cook a wide variety
of very healthy meals for the children. We love this nursery and have recommended it to many of our friends.

My child has been at Banana Moon for the last 2.5 years. As she grows from one room to the next she has evolved into a happy, confident and curious child. My son also attended and was very well prepared to attend school. He was looking forward to growing up and his first day at school was a success
in a large part due to Banana Moon. The staff there make your child feel special and valued.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

Both my children have attended this nursery. My son left it last year when he moved to reception. My daughter aged 3 years, still attends. Overall, I am quite satisfied with the amount of attention given to the children. Both my kids liked going there. The staff are very co-operative and very open to
feedback (both giving and receiving). If there was an area of improvement, I would say it would be good to get specific feedback on learning-based activities, what should we be working with the child at home.


Otherwise, am quite happy with how they have looked after our kids.


Reply from Wendy, Director at Banana Moon Day Nursery Wimbledon

Kamayani, thank you for your time to give us a review and thank you for trusting us with your daughter. I will send you an email with questions to help us to understand what areas of our menu you believe we could improve on.

From the day of our first viewing/show around of the nursery, my husband and I felt confident that our daughter (who started in care at 9 months old) would be well cared for and would excel from the care and attention given. It is apparent that the whole Banana Moon 'family' are dedicated to the children
in their care and that they enjoy what they do. Communication is fantastic, the premises are clean, parents are welcomed to be involved in functions throughout the year and my daughter enjoys the time she spends at daycare. I would highly recommend the Banana Moon family to anyone looking for care for their child.

My daughter is full time at the nursery due to the nature of our work, and it shows, as she is well ahead of her age in learning. She looks forward to going to Banana Moon in the morning and will talk a lot about what they will be doing during that day. When I collect her, and after she has said goodbye
to everyone (individually), I then get the run down of nursery life that day. The team are very good with the children, taking them on regular outdoor trips to the park/farm etc. Her favourite time of the week is 'show and tell' on Wednesday. She eats all her food most of the time, which rarely happens at home.

We sent our 2 year old son to Banana Moon and were very pleased with the progress he made there. The care he received was excellent and if we were not moving area we would gladly keep sending him there. The staff are very kind to him and he cared for them a great deal. The daily reporting mechanism
was useful too.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.749)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.749) out of 10 for Banana Moon Day Nursery Wimbledon 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 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 12 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 4.938 for Banana Moon Day Nursery Wimbledon is calculated as follows: ( (136 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 144 Ratings = 4.938

  • 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 4.811 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Banana Moon Day Nursery Wimbledon is based on 12 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 74 number of registered child places is 14.8. 12 Positive Reviews ÷ 14.8 = 0.811

  • 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.
