My little one has been going to nursery here since Sep 24 and is thriving. We are so impressed with how much the staff care about his wellbeing, they are always friendly and make time for a thorough handover, they send messages on the app to put our mind at ease if he's having a hard time and send pictures
so we can see him having the best time at nursery. He loves the home cooked meals and usually has seconds, his language development has really improved and he's just a happy bunny. We love that he's outside whenever the weather allows it and takes part in lots of messy and arty activities.

My son has been at Banana Moon for 2 years now and every day he has the best time. Staff care is second to none, activities are varied and keep him stimulated, communication at the end of each day provides a detailed summary of what he's been up to and E-communication is outstanding but now over bearing.
I've suggested Banana Moon to my friends for their children and those who have taken up the offer have been equally impressed.

My little girl has been attending Banana Moon Day Nursery in Stirchley since September 2023. She absolutely loves going to nursery and I couldn’t be happier with our choice. Since starting there, her communication has improved and she is also eating lots more! I feel happy, as a parent, knowing she
is well looked after and enjoys her time there. I would and have recommended to fellow parents! They have been very accommodating in extra sessions and changing her days if I have needed and couldn’t ask for more. The staff are all very friendly and the building is also very nice and modern too. Thank you Banana Moon!

I was anxious about sending our 2-year-old to nursery for the first time however the staff have been very helpful and informative and are brilliant with our 2-year-old. She has learnt a great deal since joining the nursery with the help from the team at Banana Moon Day Nursery. Our 2-year-old is even
eating foods she won't eat at home which has come as a great surprise! Brilliant nursery.

My son loves going to Banana Moon Day Nursery!
From the first day, he cried and said he wanted to go home. One day, two months later, he said that I really love Banana Moon and the teachers. “I want to go to school every day.” Thank you very much to everyone in Banana moon.

My son has been going here for a few weeks now and although he was a little unsettled at first, he is doing really well. The staff are lovely and all the rooms, toys and facilities are great. My son eats all of the delicious food served and is very happy here. The staff always take the time to chat
to us and deal with any queries we have. Overall, we are very happy with the nursery.

The nursery facilities and staff are a brilliant environment for our daughter to develop social and core academic skills.
The food provided and value is great and our daughter enjoys the experience and her cereal to start the day.
My only criticism is the lack of flexibility in amending days when
required for holidays and leave period, when we are still required to pay for non-attendance days, regardless of the notice provided.
Would highly recommend.

We appreciate your review. We are pleased that your daughter is growing and blossoming while with us. In addition, we will take into consideration your views on flexibility for the future. Thank you for being a great family to work with.

My son has been going to Banana Moon Day Nursery since the start of January 2024 for two days per week. At the start, I was very anxious as I had just started back at work following my maternity leave, the staff at Banana Moon made me feel that my son was going to be safe and they also gave me updates
throughout the dreaded first day. Since then, I have enjoyed bringing my son to this nursery, always greeted by staff that are smiling and always up for a quick chat, continuous updates on my son's progress and always addressing any concerns in a timely manner. I will enjoy seeing and hearing about my son's progress throughout his time in this nursery and would recommend this nursery. Thanks to all the staff members.

Banana Moon is a fantastic nursery, the staff are absolutely lovely and do the utmost to ensure my daughter has the best time when she is there. They have helped her to come on leaps and bounds with her speech and her crawling/walking. She absolutely loves going to nursery and they have been amazing
in regard to her wants and needs.

Our experience with Banana Moon Stirchley has been very positive so far! Our daughter started there last September just before she turned one. The building is brand new so everywhere is very clean and modern. The food is amazing! Diaries are updated daily, sometimes with photos. Security is good and
all the staff are lovely and just want to do their best for the children in their care. Our daughter is very happy!

My son loves the nursery and the staff are very loving and kind towards him. He has always struggled being separated from me (even though he has been going for over a year!) but all of the staff give him lots of cuddles and patience and he has a great day every time.
It would be nice to get some more
photos of what he has been doing, but I’d rather everyone was busy having fun. They do lots of activities and have bikes and a mud kitchen.

My little one has been at Banana Moon for over a year now and loves going to nursery. The baby room was great with lots of love and care are given to the little ones. She is now in the toddler room and loves it even more. Lots of activities to get involved in and a great focus on independence and self-learning
through play and during food time.
A positive, happy atmosphere amongst staff!

My daughter has been at this nursery for nearly 12 months and has come on in leaps and bounds since starting. She enjoys her time here and has developed trusting relationships with the staff. She comes home every day excited and can’t wait to tell me all about her day. If she had her way she’d stay
there forever!
The setting is new and purpose-built with everything at children’s height encouraging child-led learning with a great playhouse in full moons!
The price is equivalent to other nurseries in the area and payments are split equally across the year making it easier to budget.
The staff are all approachable and responsive to any queries or requests. I really like the fact that I can walk in at any time unannounced using the fingerprint system - this was a massive selling point for me when choosing a nursery. I would 100% recommend it.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.475)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.475) out of 10 for Banana Moon Day Nursery Stirchley 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 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 12 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 4.875 for Banana Moon Day Nursery Stirchley is calculated as follows: ( (126 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 144 Ratings = 4.875

  • 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 4.6 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Banana Moon Day Nursery Stirchley is based on 12 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 100 number of registered child places is 20. 12 Positive Reviews ÷ 20 = 0.6

  • 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.
