  • Banana Moon Day Nursery Wollaton, Nottingham
At Banana Moon Day Nursery Wollaton, caring, qualified staff observe and assess children's development and most importantly provide a variety of learning experiences that are fun and build on what the children already know.

Calm tranquil rest is a prerequisite for babies and younger children and the nursery has sleep rooms equipped with cots and sleep mattresses. Each child has their own bed linen which is regularly laundered in house.

Children are given delicious homemade, nutritious meals and are offered five portions of fruit and vegetables every day. The team ensure they have the opportunity to spend time outside every day throughout the year for fresh air and exercise. When children prefer to stay indoors, an alternative physical activity is provided such as yoga and dancing.

CCTV operates throughout the nursery for the protection of children. Parents have fingerprint access directly into the nursery to drop off and collect children.

An app that shows you what your child has been doing throughout the day. E.g., sleep times, nappy changes and any food or bottles that they have consumed. There are also pictures and videos that are sent directly to your phone whilst you're at work to give you that extra reassurance.
                                
An extensive learning and development programme that meets the Early Years Foundation Stage - Updated January 2024.

A range of activities, including messy play, sensory play, baking, gardening and cooking experiences!

Excellent facilities and they cater for our child's dietary needs in the most impressive way. They ensure he eats the non-dairy equivalent to his little friends and even has sweet cakes and desserts, his previous nursery didn't do this. Activity of the month is great, help parents get involved at home.

Thank you so much for your lovely review! We are so happy that we fulfill your child's dietary needs to a high standard.

My son started at Banana Moon Nursery in September. He settled quickly. The nursery is very clean, calm and organised. The environment is warm and friendly. The rooms for the children are perfect and adapted to their young age. My son's keyworkers are very helpful, patient, knowledgeable and easy-going.
They are doing an amazing job by looking after my son, giving him lots of knowledge, care, love and interested in his development. I would definitely recommend this nursery to other parents.

I have two children who attend the nursery two days a week. The staff are very welcoming and caring. I feel comfortable that they are in safe hands. My eldest has become more confident and independent since attending the nursery. My youngest has a very large appetite and eats everything he is given!

Banana Mood is a lovely environment for infants to flourish. Always greeted with a smile by reception staff and children are also greeted by carers and peers upon arrival to class.
Very secure building and professional approach to care. Special requirements such as allergies, learning requirements
and any other requirements are always considered.

This is a great nursery for my daughter who is 21 months. Clean, good food, varied food, great areas to play, a variety of toys, caring staff, modern environment and organised. My daughter has been there for about 10 months and she loves it. She has fun, laughs, sings, makes/plays with friends, eats
and sleeps well.
The outside space could be a bit more spacious but everything else more than makes up for it.

Fantastic experience. The preschooler room is learning numbers, shapes etc...within a few weeks of starting at Banana Moon Day Nursery Wollaton my son could say all colours, recognise letters of the alphabet and start tracing his name. Can't fault it.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.928)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.928) out of 10 for Banana Moon Day Nursery Wollaton 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 30 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 30 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 4.928 for Banana Moon Day Nursery Wollaton is calculated as follows: ( (336 Excellents x 5) + (22 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 360 Ratings = 4.928

  • 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 Wollaton is based on 30 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 70 number of registered child places is 14, which has been reached with 30 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.
