My two little boys started here at the start of January and we have been so happy with the experience so far! The boys were given unlimited settling in sessions prior to officially starting which was great for us as parents to know they were able to become familiar with their new environment. On these
settling in sessions the staff always sent photos over to show how the boys were getting on which was lovely to put our minds at ease. Now they have started officially, the nursery staff update what the boys have been up to on an app every hour or so which is amazing! It's so detailed! We're able to find out what the boys have eaten, how long they've napped, when the youngest's nappy has been changed and our favourite part is the photos of them having fun with their peers and all the lovely activities they get up to! They also ensure to show a settling activity if they have gone in, in a bit of a grump which is reassuring for us too. We couldn't recommend Banana Moon enough, thank you.

Reply from Adina Jackson, Manager at Banana Moon Day Nursery Davyhulme

Firstly thank you so much for such lovely, kind words expressed to reflect on how you and your little ones are feeling within the setting in such a short space of time.
It is reassuring for us to know that our parents who have joined us during the COVID-19 pandemic feel so supported with limited access to the setting and communication with all staff members.
I will gladly pass this on to the team which will certainly reassure them to know they are continuously doing a fabulous job!
We can assure to continue to provide a high quality of care for both of your boys on a daily basis.


Kind regards,

This is a super little nursery where "small is definitely beautiful" and our little girl has blossomed over the last two years here. She would simply not receive such care and attention and learn and achieve so much in a large nursery. She loves the staff to bits which is testimony to the attention
they provide and the over and above they do for our little ones. It’s a culture instilled throughout the team with endless cuddles for the little ones when they need one. Everyone has done their best to pull together during this difficult year to keep the nursery open. Our little girl has loved it even more since reopening and taken to the new team members amazingly well which is testament to the quality of the recruitment and management of the nursery. There is an app which provides daily info on your little one’s activities and photos which is fab. There’s also a really good cultural of providing good quality meals in the nursery and my little one eats better there than home.

Both of my children attend Banana Moon and I can honestly say, I wouldn't want them to go anywhere else. The staff are incredible and my children love them. You can see the care and attention they give which my children adore. Both undertake many activities in nursery and are both thriving, they have
come on so much since starting there. They come home each evening very happy, contented little boys. Thanks Banana Moon.

My 3-year-old has attended this nursery since he was 9 months old. He settled in so easily and I had no worries about him when I was at work. The staff have always been exceptional. Friendly, professional and most importantly my son thinks the world of them. Of all the nurseries I visited when looking
to choose one, Banana Moon Davyhulme stood out from the crowd. I remember feeling that the staff were the most genuine and it was a welcoming fun environment.
I would highly recommend this nursery to parents in the area and I’m very thankful for all it has done for my son’s development.

My daughter started here when she was 10 months old. She is now almost 3 and really enjoys going to nursery and playing with her friends. Her vocabulary is brilliant and she can tell me every day all the exciting things she has been doing. The app is brilliant for updates and to see pictures of their
activities. I am really glad I chose this nursery.

My daughter moved to this nursery when it first opened from another nursery who I lost trust with. Since starting my daughter has grown in confidence and has come on immensely. When first starting, my daughter had a milk allergy which the nursery took seriously and I never had any issues or slip-ups,
unlike the previous nursery. I will be extremely sad when my daughter moves on into nursery in September, but I am truly happy all the staff have given her the skills she needs to succeed in the future.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My son has been at Banana Moon Davyhulme since it opened practically and has transitioned from being a Baby Moon to now being a Full Moon (preschool). The nursery has provided a home away from home environment with the intimate setting they have and also the staff who are warm, friendly and approachable.
It’s very reassuring to see those even at management and director level take an interest in the children despite not being involved in their care on a day to day basis. Any suggestions and comments are acted on immediately and I have not felt concerned about leaving my son in the care of the nursery as I did at his previous nursery. The nursery has gone through many changes as is expected for any new enterprise but is emerging as an organised, educational, friendly atmosphere for children to be. The food is all cooked on site and they cater for my son who has a Halal diet without hesitation. I have no doubt that any future child of mine will also attend this lovely nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.874)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.874) out of 10 for Banana Moon Day Nursery Davyhulme 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 29 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 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 4.874 for Banana Moon Day Nursery Davyhulme is calculated as follows: ( (308 Excellents x 5) + (36 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 348 Ratings = 4.874

  • 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 Davyhulme is based on 29 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 51 number of registered child places is 10.2, which has been reached with 29 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.
