I have twin girls that attend this nursery and I can honestly say, I have seen huge improvements. I feel my girls are getting the support they need and are progressing significantly.
This is all thanks to the supportive staff members.

My son loves this nursery, he has been here since he was a baby and all staff are lovely and welcoming and supported him in his transitions. He will be sad to leave next year.

Recent parent's evening was great.
The process was thorough got some great information on how to help increase learning and development between home and nursery.
Teachers are great there are plenty of activities throughout the week. Socialising skills have continued to increase which is brilliant.

Reply from Yasmeen Bijarani, Manager at Banana Moon Day Nursery West Bromwich

Thank you for your review. We find parents' evening a great way for parents to have more detailed chats with your child's key person and that you benefitted by receiving information on how to support learning and development. It's also really good to hear that you have seen social skills increasing since your child started attending nursery. We like to ensure our children are kept busy during their time at nursery and we agree, our teachers are great!

We send both of our children here. They both love it and have developed so much being here. The staff are friendly and there is great communication, the app is a great way of keeping up to date.
One of our boys has a cow's milk allergy which the nursery has been very accommodating about and can easily
discuss with them if needed.
The kids are always so full of it when they come home and can't wait to talk about what they have been doing.

Reply from Yasmeen Bijarani, Manager at Banana Moon Day Nursery West Bromwich

Thank you for your lovely review, safeguarding our children and meeting all dietary and allergy requirements has always been a top priority for our nursery. It has been a pleasure to see your eldest child develop in character and to have your younger child join our Banana Moon family, we look forward to seeing what the future holds for them both.

I feel the nursery really puts the children first. Have sent all 3 of my children to Banana Moon and each of them has enjoyed their time and really thrived. The staff are really friendly and approachable and take the time to get to know the children well. They are always helpful if there are any issues
and act on any concerns.

Third year in Banana Moon Day Nursery and I can't recommend this nursery enough. Excellent staff, clean vicinity, very friendly and professional. I get daily updates about your child on the app and in person from my child's key person. They're very welcoming and easy to deal with. They treat complaints
very quickly. I am happy with their service because I see my son improving at all times.
I say well done to the staff and continue the great work.

Reply from Mamta Bargota, Manager at Banana Moon Day Nursery West Bromwich

Banana Moon is amazing! We have returned for the second time as we had such an amazing experience with our eldest.
The manager is warm, friendly and has the best interests of the children at heart. It is rare to see such involvement from a manager who takes the time to play with the children, it is
clear that she knows them individually and shows great practice to her staff.
The manager demonstrates a wealth of knowledge and clear and robust safeguarding and SEND procedures.
My daughter loves her nursery, she has built lovely relationships with the staff who took the time to settle her into nursery life. She has a key person who is brilliant but also feels comfortable and confident to go to other staff too. The staff greet her with big, warm smiles and she puts her arms straight out to them which melts my heart. It means so much to know that my daughter is cared for and happy, every day is an adventure! Thank you Banana Moon. I would highly recommend this nursery for every child.

Reply from Mamta Bargota, Manager at Banana Moon Day Nursery West Bromwich

Thank you for your review and for returning back to Banana Moon with your second daughter. It is lovely to hear that you can feel the family atmosphere within the setting, I do take time to get to know the children individually and support the parents and the staff team to ensure the nursery is always running smoothly and that children, parents and staff are happy. It's good to hear that your daughter has made a good relationship with her key person and the whole staff team, as it means she feels settled within her environment!
I look forward to many more adventures and seeing how your daughter develops in the future.

Fantastic nursery with the most caring, approachable and friendly staff! We were shown around by the office manager, who was very attentive, polite and transparent. The nursery has been so accommodating to our son's needs and the staff even researched his condition to provide the best level of care.
Key workers have been absolutely brilliant - My son is so happy there and is being looked after by the best! Definitely recommend this nursery!

Reply from Mamta Bargota, Manager at Banana Moon Day Nursery West Bromwich

Thank you for your very kind words.
I believe that an open and honest approach is the best way forward with childcare, as everyone needs to know where they stand.
The staff team caring for your little one have always pushed themselves to know as much about a child as they possibly can so have carried out lots of independent research to work out how best to support your son. It has been amazing to see how much he has come on since he started with us and we look forward to seeing his development over the future months.

Management/staff are very friendly, my children started in September and now setting in well. It's clean and welcoming.
Management are hands on with meet and greet approach when I arrive with my twin children. I'm happy with the feedback I get at the end of the session on collection. Very clean nursery.

The manager is rude and hot-tempered. You cannot get a word in edgeways. You have to go to their availability. Not correct PPE when children playing outside. My son has only been there two weeks. He returned to me filthy and shoes soaking wet. No adequate key worker in place and incorrect diaries. Avoid
Banana Moon Stone Cross. If you are an involved parent don't expect any help from management to staff.

Reply from Mamta Bargota, Manager at Banana Moon Day Nursery West Bromwich

We are so sorry to see from your review that you have been unsatisfied with your experience at Banana Moon Stone Cross. We have responded directly to your concern and hope we can work with you to resolve this issue shortly.

We are really enjoying going to Banana Moon Day Nursery West Bromwich. My daughter is coming back as a happy girl every day. Staff are listening and taking excellent care of children. They are very king and nice. Same as management. When you have questions they always answer them. Also very helpful
with potty training.

The graduation ceremony was amazing! The children looked amazing and the staff have clearly worked hard with rehearsals.

since attending Banana Moon the last year.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.616)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.616) out of 10 for Banana Moon Day Nursery West Bromwich is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 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 4.616 for Banana Moon Day Nursery West Bromwich is calculated as follows: ( (247 Excellents x 5) + (72 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (11 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 336 Ratings = 4.616

  • 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 West Bromwich is based on 27 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 50 number of registered child places is 10, which has been reached with 27 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.
