Can't believe how much my little boy has progressed since starting. He had a rocky start but the staff all worked really hard to help settle him in. They worked with us to help make sure they knew his routine and the best way to settle him. He is always talking about Banana Moon and is so excited when
it's nursery day. He's created some lovely relationships with the staff and the other children. Also can't believe all the different foods he's trying at nursery. It helped so much with his diet becoming more healthy.

My son has always loved going to Banana Moon. The staff are all really good with him and I like the updates of what he has been up to that day on pick-ups. The nursery and staff have done a lot of work both inside and outside to increase the range of activities they can do with the children and regularly
refresh the decor so it doesn't become stale. The introduction of parent workshops on some key issues such as potty training have all been really useful too!

Reply from Jayne Garbutt, Manager at Banana Moon Day Nursery Catterick Garrison

Since my daughter has been at Banana Moon Day Nursery, she improved so much with her development, she will now hold her own cup and even eats meat and is more confident with people, one thing I love is the connection her key person has with her and they go above and beyond to make sure she is safe and
well looked after with her having epilepsy, they are always willing to sit down and discuss anything I am worried about with her development, it's like having another family but still very professional.

My child loves the setting and is very happy here. My issues are with the huge staff turnover. No consistency, key workers constantly changing, no observations. I don't know the name of who I hand my child over to. Very disappointed.

Lovely nursery with a homely feel to it. Nursery practitioners are amazing with my son and also great listeners for me if I'm struggling. Management are amazing to give comfort to parents and carers when needed. I have never felt guilty or nervous leaving my son if he cries because I know as soon as
he goes into his room he's happy! My son joined when he was 2 into toddlers and the staff were amazing, he loved going into their room as there was so much to do. Now in full moons as he's 3 and cannot fault the staff in his room, especially two members in particular. My son loves going in there as he loves to dance with them! The food is brilliant, a great mix of food and my son always eats everything! Thank you to everyone who is involved in my son's care. He has amazing women in his life there and an amazing little friendship group!

My oldest went here and now my youngest does. The staff has always treated my children with respect and kindness. My oldest still asks to visit Banana Moon and youngest is willing to go in at each drop-off. If I have a query the management are happy to help or find out the information that I need.

My son has been attending since he was 9 months old, he is 2 now. He really loves going and has grown so confident and learned lots. He has really bonded with the staff. He always eats all of the lovely meals they make. I would recommend Banana Moon to anyone as we have had a very good experience with
them.

Lovely nursery, amazing facilities.
Staff seem to rotate through the different classrooms quite a lot which I find may be unsettling for some of the children. Staff may be in Mini Moons one day and Baby Moons/Full Moons the day after and I think it’s confusing for children. Apart from that a good
nursery.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.979)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.979) out of 10 for Banana Moon Day Nursery Catterick Garrison is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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 4.979 for Banana Moon Day Nursery Catterick Garrison is calculated as follows: ( (281 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 287 Ratings = 4.979

  • 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 Catterick Garrison is based on 24 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 80 number of registered child places is 16, which has been reached with 24 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.
