The Review Score of 10 (9.966) out of 10 for Banana Moon Day Nursery Westhill is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
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 4.966 for Banana Moon Day Nursery Westhill is calculated as follows: ( (254 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 263 Ratings = 4.966
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 Westhill is based on 22 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 107 number of registered child places is 21.4, which has been reached with 22 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.

Hi, my name is Amanda,
I have been working in the Early years since I left school. It is a vocation that I am very passionate about and dedicated to. I opened the Banana Moon at Dyce 5 years ago alongside Will. We have strived to reduce stress, and support and nurture the families and children that attend us. As we have added the Westhill and Bridge of Don sites, I took on the role of Area Manager and spend a great deal of love and passion helping support and guide their teams.
I am supportive and proactive at sourcing and engaging the teams with training to upskill our staff team which benefits the children by having the highest quality of staff available to them. All our staff teams are continuously developing their professional development, working towards qualification and enhancing policies and practices in their settings. I myself am working on my PDA award with just a few months left to complete.
It is a pleasure and honour to work with the children and families and to watch the progression and development of each and every child
