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.

My son comes to Banana Moon Day Nursery Wollaton. The staff here are very cooperative. We did have a bit of settling in problems but the staff were ever so cooperative in providing us with several sessions so as to make sure my son settles down nicely. The place is clean and tidy and feels safe and
child-friendly.

I couldn't be happier with the staff and facilities at this nursery. My daughter has settled so well in the baby room. Everybody is so friendly and caring and the room is always clean. There is a great menu on offer and all of the children's needs are met.
CCTV and fingerprint access provide extra
reassurance.

My son started Banana Moon in September 2018. We have found the nursery to be fantastic. They were extremely supportive during his settling in time. He loves going to nursery and always has a wonderful time. He has taken part in a wide range of activities and really enjoys spending time in the outdoor
space. We receive daily feedback about what he has been up to, meals he has eaten and any concerns they may have. I would have no hesitation in recommending this nursery to my family and friends.

My child has been at Banana Moon Day Nursery for a few months now and is extremely happy here, she smiles in the morning when entering the building and seeing staff that work with her. Communication is fantastic and there is homely feel about the establishment that makes it much easier leaving my child
here. I am very happy with the care my daughter receives and have recommended the Nursery to friends and family.

My son has been going to the baby room at Banana Moon for about a month now and I feel like he is being well looked after. It’s hard to leave your baby with someone else for the first time but the staff are really friendly and made it an easier experience!
The hours are very flexible and the children
are given three meals as well as snacks (which my baby seems to love) which not all nurseries provide and the babies get plenty of stimulation. It always looks very clean and well maintained and the premises are safe, only allowing access via fingerprint. I would definitely recommend Banana Moon in Wollaton.

This nursery is one of the best, my daughter loves coming here daily. The premises are always clean and tidy. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. They always take very good care of my daughter. They have supported her whilst toilet training and have helped her to develop and become confident.
Her key worker understands her needs very well. We are grateful for all the hard work they have put in to make our experience wonderful.

My grandson has been at Banana Moon nursery for 4 months and I have to say that I have found the nursery to be very friendly and the staff are a fantastic attribute to the children. The nursery itself is clean and hygienic, and the meals are outstanding.


I have found that my grandson has come on

in leaps and bounds as to his learning and potty training.


Well done to the staff at Banana Moon 10/10 excellent, keep it up.

I am so glad I choose Banana Moon as the nursery for my 2-year-old twins, from the moment they arrived they were welcomed with open arms and looked after in the best possible way. Each member of staff brings their own unique touch to the nursery and I couldn't be happier having my children attend.
They love their time there and are so happy.

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.
