My daughter is going back home happy every evening! She seems to enjoy her time with staff members and other kids. She also enjoys a lot of the trips to the library and the playground. Thanks for the good care you provide to children.

My three-year-old son has just started the nursery. He absolutely loves it at Banana Moon Day Nursery Battersea. The manager and all the staff that I have met so far have been fantastic in helping my son to settle in and feel part of the nursery. The staff are friendly and helpful, the building and
rooms are clean, airy and welcoming and no question is too silly to ask. I would definitely recommend this nursery!

Staff are very friendly and welcoming. My daughter found it a little difficult settling in at first. Staff were encouraging and patient with her, and also supportive with me. My daughter has finally settled in well and goes in with no problems now. The nursery app is brilliant, pictures are taken so
you get to see your child playing and taking part in activities. I also get a rundown of the day, if my daughter has eaten, had snacks and how many nappy changes she's had. I will be highly recommending it to friends.

Banana Moon Nursery is a wonderful setting for both my children. I really struggled to find a nursery that suited our required hours and Banana Moon have been amazingly accommodating with their flexibility. The staff are all so very inviting and welcoming and are brilliant with our children. Our eldest
who is 3 years old had never been away from us and after just her first settling in session, she Absolutely loved going to nursery and still does to this day. Our youngest was a bit more challenging and had quite a few wobbles with missing us, however, Banana Moon has always been so patient and caring towards his needs and he now loves him every minute of nursery. Also, a HUGE plus is they allow you to provide your child’s own packed lunch instead of nursery meals which have been brilliant for us. Would definitely recommend Banana Moon Nursery to all parents!

I would highly recommend choosing this nursery if you're looking for a nursery to choose from as I think its an excellent nursery. When I was deciding on choosing a nursery for my child to go I knew instantly from having a viewing this was the nursery I wanted to choose. They were very helpful and efficient
when it came to me contacting them on several occasions with queries I had about the nursery. All the staff were warm and welcoming and friendly. My child settled very quickly into the nursery, it makes me happy that he is in good hands and being looked after properly. I love the fact the nursery has an app you can you use on your phone and gives you updates at the end of each session on what your child has got up to throughout the day. The app is also brilliant as it has everything on there down to invoices etc which makes it so easy when wanting information rather than going on to the website. Overall I would give this nursery a 10/10 and highly recommend!

Nice, clean, secured and spacious place. The staff is friendly, good listeners, give good advice. From not wanting to step through the doors to come out singing now, my child has settled well and I feel at ease. Love the security at the entrance, parents have to scan their fingerprint to gain access
to the premises. The app is a good tool to keep parents up to date on the kids' activities. It is very easy to communicate with the team and raise issues or questions. I 100% recommend this place.

Amazing staff at Banana Moon! My daughter has attended since January 2020 and has grown in confidence so much after previously not settling as well in a previous nursery. A big thank you to the manager and her key person for being consistent with her and challenging her in order to reach her full potential!

My son has been coming to Banana Moon for 1 year and he settled in quite quickly. Watching him become more independent and learning his 123 and ABC. He loves the chef's cooking and has always eaten more than one portion. The staff are understanding, hands on with potty training, sleeping pattern and
will accommodate the needs of the child. The manager is excellent and has a funny sense of humour. The lady that owns the building is lovely and is always smiling. The nursery is only 5 minutes from Clapham Junction station which is great if you need to commute. Their security is hands-on.

From the initial inspection of the nursery until today, the staff have been nothing short of amazing. Communication with the nursery is nice and easy, and I completely fell in the loop. The layout of the rooms is nicely organised with a nice view of the play garden, which I'm sure the kids love. My
son looks forward to attending, and that said enough. To say we're pleased with them would be an understatement.

I was very nervous about my daughter starting nursery and from meeting with the nursery manager and touring the nursery I felt instantly reassured and proud of my choice. From day one, my daughter has been excited and happy to attend and her eating habits and nap time routine improved in a matter of
2 weeks. The handwashing policy is clearly well implemented and the development that I’ve noticed in her motor and language skills is amazing. Every day I am updated with her day, via the app and in person, which is greatly appreciated. I am so happy with Banana Moon and the staff there and I feel we have quickly built a great relationship.

The staff here are very pleasant and helpful. The nursery is very clean. They have a lot of activities and interactions for the children. I feel assured that my child is ok. I’ve been to a few nursery placements before choosing Banana Moon and they stood out to me the most. They are very different compared
to others. When you know, you just know and my heart felt compelled to send my daughter here. She’s content.

Excellent nursery.
My one-year-old son used to go to another nursery but he wasn't happy. Since he came to Banana Moon he completely changes his perception of being separate from me.
He's so excited to go to and he has become more independent.
Excellent, personal.

There aren't many other nurseries locally with such great space, light, garden areas. The staff are really caring and friendly. My son learnt so much from preschool and both my children are very at home there. My only concerns are how the staff are managed, developed, cared for. In the past, they have
felt very undervalued which has led to high turnover, and therefore less stability for the children.

Reply from Frank Turay at Banana Moon Day Nursery Battersea

Thank you for your review, Helen. It is great to hear how much your children enjoy coming to nursery and the lovely experience they have gained with us. We value every single comment and review given to us from all of our parents which in turn will only help us to enhance the nursery as a whole. We are working extremely hard with the new management team that is now in place, to move this nursery forward. We are very grateful for the help and support we have received from parents like yourselves, and whom we value so highly.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.880)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.880) out of 10 for Banana Moon Day Nursery Battersea 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 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.880 for Banana Moon Day Nursery Battersea is calculated as follows: ( (221 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 251 Ratings = 4.88

  • 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 Battersea is based on 21 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 58 number of registered child places is 11.6, which has been reached with 21 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.
