We enrolled our baby recently (April 2020) after his previous nursery had to close due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Nursery’s managers were very supportive and accommodated NHS staff children with support and compassion. The nursery is taking government’s rules seriously and following the guidelines. For
example, they check children’s temperature every morning, use special school bags and trolley to transfer children into and out of the nursery. This extra precaution assured me as a parent that my child will be safe and well looked after during this difficult time. Overall, I am happy with Banana Moon West Bromwich nursery service and I appreciate their support during this uncertain time.

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

Thank you for your kind words. We have loved having your child with us the past few weeks and the staff have been continuously adapting to the changing circumstances well. Thank you for taking our safety measures seriously, we are here to support our community.

When starting nursery my child was behind on talking, wasn't very good at sharing and would have a hard time leaving mom. Since being here my daughter has blossomed, her behaviour changed and every day she comes home and tells me different things she has learned. She loves coming to nursery and has
grown so much. I can't thank Banana Moon enough for helping my daughter in every way.

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

Thank you for your lovely feedback.
The Key worker has been planning to suit the children's next steps and lots of small group activities that encourage them to meet their needs to develop.

My son has found it very hard to settle in from the beginning but the staff have been great in helping him to settle in, making him feel at ease.
The staff are very flexible and professional in the way they deal with children. I felt very upset every time I left my son as he would be crying and shouting
but when I went back, he would be fine and playing.
The staff would take pictures to show me how he has been while I was not there and he was enjoying himself, no tantrums, which really helped put my mind at rest. The staff are excellent.

I highly recommend Banana Moon Day Nursery West Bromwich. The standard of care is excellent, staff are professional, with daily verbal and written feedback for parents. The nursery experience provided to my son has been full of fun with new experiences every day that have helped his development in all
areas. I am grateful for the love, care and attention given to my son's individual needs and development and for the warm feeling that is reflected throughout the nursery - not to mention the fantastic outdoor play area which ensures that he gets plenty outdoor play. His key worker is amazing and they have bonded very well.

Banana Moon is a great and nurturing environment for children of all ABILITIES! My son with advanced needs has been attending nursery here for a few months and I must say the level of care and attentiveness given to my child by all staff makes me very comfortable leaving him in their care. They truly
go above and beyond to understand and respond to the needs and moods of my child (which varies daily) with bright smiles, which is greatly appreciated. They tailor his activities and make accommodations to meet him at his level and challenge him at his level of ability. They also do everything possible to keep him included in all nursery activities and integrated with the other kids despite his lack of mobility and speech. This is helping him to progress steadily and his successes are celebrated as much by them, as they are celebrated by me!

Reply from Mamta Bargota at Banana Moon Day Nursery West Bromwich

Thank you for your kind words, I will share this with my leaders and the practitioners as they are doing a fab job and also understanding the needs for all individuals and they take great pride in their job.

My 3-year-old daughter has been attending Banana Moon since February 2017 and since then, she has progressed so much, her development amazes us and this is primarily due to the work of the staff at Banana Moon. The staff are all very friendly both with parents and the children and at the end of every
day, we receive detailed feedback about how her day has been, what she has been involved in and also everything that she has eaten which is great. The meals are always varied and very healthy with lots of fruit and vegetables. My daughter loves attending this nursery and loves telling us about all her friends there and also everything she has been doing in the day. I would highly recommend this nursery to any parents looking for somewhere to care for their children.

I have visited quite a few nurseries over the years and Banana Moon Day Nursery West Bromwich is, hands down, my favourite so far.
The staff are so lovely and laid back and I really appreciate that.
I couldn't ask for a better key worker for my son. I can tell she genuinely cares about his progress
and listens to any concerns I have or help that I might need.
Absolute 10/10 from me and I cannot wait for my daughter to start :)

My daughter suffers with speech problems, and the nursery is notified of anything they can do by speech therapy to help her.
My daughter also has separation issues and they are helping to deal with those. She has been at nursery for 10 months and is improving greatly with the support for my daughter
and for myself, always willing to help and support.
Staff are amazing, people friendly and supportive. I made a suggestion that they give me worksheets that they are using at school, so I could continue the same work at home, so she is continuing the same work. I had worksheets the following week.

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

Thank you for your kind words Sarah, your daughter has come a long way, it is rewarding to see her progress and develop, your child's key person is always here to support you.
Also I would like to say thank you for sharing your photos with us via email, looking at the photos it looks like you've been very busy getting creative at home with your child. :)

I am very happy that I have chosen this nursery for my child, she has been attending from January and has settled in very well. The nursery has a really good settling in process, the staff are all friendly and I feel so comfortable leaving my child in the care of the staff. The daily updates/reports
are fantastic, explains all things your child has done, eaten, etc. very detailed and useful. The nursery has many different rooms for babies and pre-schoolers to play in, not to mention they celebrate all different religion events/celebrations. Good range of diversity! Fantastic work day in day out by all! Choosing a nursery is a very hard choice, trusting people for so many hours a day with your child, but I am so happy I made the right choice to send my child to Banana Moon. Thank you to all the staff, keep up the excellent work!

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

WOW!! "THANK YOU" Natalie for all your kind words, I'm very proud of my girls:) they put so much into caring and getting the best outcome for our children, through playing and exploring their environment. We couldn't do this job without the support of all our lovely parents, once again a BIG THANKYOU!!!

My daughter has been attending the nursery for almost a year now.
The staff are friendly and will give you feedback daily on your child's progression.
I visited a few nurseries when looking where to place my child and found this nursery to be the cleanest with great rooms and space. The nursery
is also not 'overrun' with lots and lots of children which many seem to be. I knew my child was getting the time, care and attention I wanted from a nursery whilst I was at work.

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

Thank you for your kind words Laura, it's a pleasure having your daughter at our nursery and to see her grow into a super independent little girl. We are so proud of her achievements.

My son has been attending this nursery for a month now and despite his initial protestations, he is settling in well. The staff are friendly and caring. The feedback you get at the end of the day is very clear, giving you a good idea what they've done, what they've played and this is something I talk
about with him at bedtime. The staff also seem to put a lot of effort into the activities they do with the children and given them a lot of care and attention.

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.
