My daughter started in January and I am so happy we chose this nursery. All the staff are so caring and helpful and my daughter is always excited to see them in the morning. There is a great range of toys and activities to keep her entertained and she often comes home having learnt something new. Overall,
I would highly recommend the nursery to any parent as it's given me such peace of mind knowing my daughter is in the best hands when I'm working.

My son started in January, and I couldn't be happier with our experience so far. As a brand-new nursery, everything is fresh, clean, and thoughtfully designed to create a spacious and engaging environment. My son absolutely loves their outdoor garden-it's one of his favorite activities!!
However what
stands out the most is the staff. They are incredibly caring, supportive, and always helpful. I truly appreciate how they keep me informed about my child's development and what they could do to keep him engaged. Also I never leave without know what happened in his day, they make me feel involved. It's also clear that they take the time to know each child individually, creating a warm and familiar atmosphere.
Despite the challenges that come with launching a new nursery, the management has done an amazing job ensuring everything runs smoothly. Their dedication and organization are evident and that always warms a parent's heart.

The director and all the staff are excellent and extremely passionate about their job. I found them very professional and most importantly they care about my little one. He's happy when he sees them and this is clearly a sign that they are very good with him. The environment is beautiful and everything
is baby-sized. I love it and I couldn't recommend them more!

We're having a great experience with Banana Mood Day Nursery Bishop's Stortford. The way they care for our little boy, we can see they worry for his eating, always asking about his development at home so we are synchronised. They give special care and we can see that everybody is working together. The
administration is superb and the carers as well. We're loving the experience until now.

Nursary staff very friendly. Supportive of our child's dietary needs. Also, work with us when health concern occurs. New and very good facilities with entry to nursery with digital print for parents (great to avoid waiting out in the winter cold). Logistically, there is free parking on the street, across
the nursery, before 8am and after 6pm, which is helpful if nursery parking is taken (hasn't happen yet). Would definitely recommend.

Our son started attending this nursery in January 2025, and from day one, we have been beyond impressed with the care, professionalism, and warmth of the entire team.
The staff are truly amazing - friendly, competent and you can tell they genuinely enjoy working with children. Their enthusiasm and
dedication create a nurturing environment where kids feel happy, safe, and engaged. Management has been 5-star from the very beginning, always approachable, well-organized, and committed to providing the best experience for both children and parents.
The building is spacious, and the rooms are bright and well-equipped. A wide variety of toys and learning materials ensures that children have plenty of opportunities for play and development. The food selection, which is varied and nutritious, catering to different tastes and dietary needs. It's great to know that our child gets healthy meals at nursery.
My wife and I wholeheartedly recommend this nursery to other parents.

Current Review Score: 9.1 (9.106)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.1 (9.106) out of 10 for Banana Moon Day Nursery Bishop's Stortford 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 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.1 out of 5 from 8 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 4.958 for Banana Moon Day Nursery Bishop's Stortford is calculated as follows: ( (92 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 96 Ratings = 4.958

  • 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 4.148 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Banana Moon Day Nursery Bishop's Stortford is based on 8 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 = 3.8

    • 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 115 number of registered child places is 23. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 23 = 0.348

  • 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.
