Since my son joined the nursery, we have experienced very good communication with both staff and through use of the app. Staff and management are very polite, attentive and skillful. They understand our child's needs and work hard to ensure we are well informed and that our child receives the required
learning and support, whilst having all of the relevant tools and knowledge. We are very satisfied with service provided and would highly recommend to others.

My son's development has continued to blossom since he started attending. I am particularly happy when I see him wave goodbye to his nursery staff in the evening. He is happy to see me but also happy to be around the staff. I am happy to see all the exciting activities the children are engaged in. It
shows that the nursery creates an engaging and loving environment. We are happy with such a nurturing environment for our son's early growth and learning.

Reply from Lyndsay Fleming, TBC at Banana Moon Day Nursery Denmore

Current Review Score: 8.7 (8.671)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.7 (8.671) out of 10 for Banana Moon Day Nursery Denmore 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 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.9 out of 5 from 6 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 4.803 for Banana Moon Day Nursery Denmore is calculated as follows: ( (57 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 71 Ratings = 4.803

  • 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 3.868 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Banana Moon Day Nursery Denmore is based on 6 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 = 3.6

    • 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 112 number of registered child places is 22.4. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 22.4 = 0.268

  • 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.
