Excellent nursery with excellent facilities. The staff is very welcoming. My son has settled in very quickly and has made some amazing friends. Clean environment for kids to play in. A lot of support from the teachers to help build children’s confidence.

My child has been attending Banana Moon for the last year and a half and we couldn’t be happier with our choice! All the staff are brilliant- friendly, professional and they really get to know each child. The setting and facilities are amazing and it’s fantastic that they offer lots of outdoor play.
The biggest testament is that my child enters and leaves with a smile on their face and always lets me know they've had a wonderful day. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Banana Moon!

My little one started about a month ago. The staff are lovely and so far my child loves going and she loves to go every day. My child doesn't normally like to leave my side, that says enough for me. Thank you.

Amazing nursery. The staff are really friendly and great with my daughter. It took her a few weeks to settle in but they were great and helped her. She’s also developed so much since being there. I highly recommend this nursery.

My daughter has been attending Banana Moon Stirchley since October 2021 and we couldn't be happier with her progress. The nursery facilities are top class and the staff are wonderful. She loves going to nursery and we feel lucky to have it available to us.

After a year at a different nursery with our first child, we were keen to improve our experience. Banana Moon Day Nursery Stirchley was a breath of fresh air. The team are so welcoming and allowed us to be very involved with the settling-in process. We have two children with them and both have settled
in beautifully. The staff are warm and friendly and my children are rarely returned to me overly messy, tired or hungry (unlike the previous nursery!). We’re delighted with Banana Moon and happy we joined.

All the staff are amazing and understanding, all staff take their time to say morning or goodbye to each individual. My son has been going now for a year and loves every moment, the support he is given as a child with speech delay is amazing.

Fabulous nursery! Very clean, modern and has plenty of toys and activities to keep the children busy all day. The staff genuinely care about every child that attends. Even the members of staff that don't work closely with my daughter know her name and take the time to greet her when they see her and
tell me how well she seems to have settled in which is so lovely. My daughter is really happy here and enjoys telling me what she's been up to. She loves playing football and in the sandboxes outside. If the weather isn't too bad then the door to the garden is kept open so she can go in and out as she pleases (obviously under supervision at all times). Another great aspect is the positive changes in her behaviour at home. Cannot fault this place in the slightest! Thank you.

My daughter has been attending Banana Moon Nursery for around two months now and we are very happy with the care that she receives. My daughter needed a referral for extra support and when I spoke to the nursery about it, they were very understanding and supportive and set up a meeting soon after to
go through everything. The staff are very thoughtful and attentive and I have no reservations leaving my child in their care.

Thank you for your feedback. It has been a pleasure welcoming you into the Banana Moon family and we look forward to supporting your family's journey with us further.

We chose this nursery because it was perfectly located for the school run to local schools. We've been there for around 9 months and so far it's lovely. In the baby room the staff are so caring towards the children, if they are upset for any reason it's met with lots of cuddles, just as you would at
home as a parent. They really work get to know the children and work to their routine and interests. They are always ready with advice and helpful little suggestions for everything child-related too.
My only down points are that you have to provide your own nappies and wipes (at my eldest's nursery it was all included for the same price) and that on the app I don't see many photos but that might be because we aren't there all week.

Transferred our little boy over at 1 year old after having been with another nursery for about 5 months. This one was closer to us which was the main reason for choosing but we are really happy with the decision overall as fantastic facilities, lovely staff team and always lots of fun activities for
the little ones. Our toddler enjoys his days at nursery and we get good regular updates and news on the app.

My daughter has absolutely loved it there from the first day I took her. As soon as we get there, she's running down the corridor to see all her friends and doesn't want to leave when I come and pick her up.

It's been really good the staff are lovely and my daughter really likes going to nursery it's not a morning drag she looks forward to going and seeing the staff and her friends. She comes home and tells us all about her day which tells me she's mentally stimulated and enjoys the activities the staff
put on. The regular updates and photos through the app are also a fantastic way of interaction for parents to see what the kids are up to.

This is wonderful to hear, and we are so pleased that our regular updates help you understand your child's time with us.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.839)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.839) 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 4.8 out of 5 from 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 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 4.839 for Banana Moon Day Nursery Stirchley is calculated as follows: ( (285 Excellents x 5) + (47 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 335 Ratings = 4.839

  • 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 Stirchley is based on 28 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, which has been reached with 28 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.
