Banana Moon Nunhead is such a warm and loving nursery. The staff have become like family and they take a genuine interest and care in all the children. To see our little boy develop during his time at Banana Moon has been amazing. He's been very happy here.

The run up to graduation has been amazing, the staff have done so much to make the last few months so memorable for the children and parents.
My daughter has loved her entire time here since day one.
She has grown in confidence and abilities.
The bond she has with all the staff is a beautiful thing.

Our son and daughter have been coming to Banana Moon Day Nursery since they were both 13 months old. The care, attention and dedication the staff show towards the children are fantastic. All the staff are thoughtful, caring and definitely make Banana Moon a fantastic nursery.

My son has a wonderful time at Banana Moon. He enjoys a wide range of activities, and the team is always keen to hear and focus on his particular interests inside and outside of the nursery. Communication with the staff is brilliant, and I feel really listened to when I ask a question or query something.
Overall, you can just tell how much the staff care about the children, and they are very proactive in their personal development and finding out what they enjoy. My son has been at both the baby unit and the over 2s site, and both are wonderful.

We cannot recommend Banana Moon Day Nursery Nunhead enough. My son started here when he was 8 months old in the baby room, and we felt really happy leaving him as the staff made us feel very confident that he was well looked after (and he really was!). Communication is a real strong point, and our son
absolutely loved going. He remained here until 2 years old, only leaving due to my maternity leave. Very sad to have to say goodbye!

My child still attends Banana Moon Day Nursery Nunhead and loves it! He started in the baby room and is now preparing to go into the preschool there! It is so comforting to see all the staff with the children as they clearly adore them and this has been a great relief for me. I leave my child at the
nursery knowing not only is he well provided for, socialised and learning but also that the staff are genuinely caring, nurturing and supportive. His language and development has come on leaps and bounds and the thought and effort put into the activities are amazing! Banana Moon Day Nursery Nunhead has definitely been a joy for us!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son goes to Banana Moon and has since he was 10 months old. First to the baby unit and since he turned two years old, he goes to the toddler's unit.
The baby unit staff made it as easy as possible for us to feel safe to leave our baby with them and he quickly bonded with them. At the Holydale Rd
unit, where he is now, the management and staff go above and beyond for all children. They pick up on individual likes and support these by the activities they're planning. It's important for them to include parents and other family members as well. More than once I've dropped off my son and thought 'I would love to stay and participate in all the activities today'. We can't recommend this nursery enough to anyone looking for a great place with great people for their child.

We absolutely love Banana Moon Nursery! My daughter has now left to go to school after two very happy years, and my son (age 2) still attends in the toddler room and absolutely loves it. The whole place feels like a family, and they pay so much care and attention to each and every child. I would highly
recommend the nursery to anyone looking for a loving and nurturing placement for their child.

My son has been at Banana Moon Nunhead for over a year now and we couldn't be happier with the nursery. He started at 5-months old and the nursery staff took great care of him as a younger baby. He has now grown into a curious toddler and the staff is extremely caring and attentive, always looking to
improve and create new learning experiences for the children. This winter they have also redone the garden of the under 2 sites and the children are able to spend lots of time outside. Their opening hours are very good for parents working full time.

My son moved to Banana Moon aged 2.5 after attending another nursery in the neighbourhood. Banana Moon is miles ahead in terms of facilities and care. It’s such a gorgeous nursery that puts a lot of attention into educating kids on foods and ingredients, music and art. All the carers that I have experienced
are extremely loving and fond of the kids, and the member of staff who runs the nursery is beyond passionate and committed ensuring the nursery is the very best.

My son has been at Banana Moon Day Nursery Nunhead for 4 years and loved every minute. The staff are fantastic and care so much about the children. They always think of new areas to investigate and teach them, encouraging them to try new things. There is such a broad range of activities from gardening
to science experiments and cooking. We would recommend this nursery, you will not want to leave.

both of our children have passed through the ranks at Banana Moon Day Nursery Nunhead and have had a wonderful experience. They have loved coming, for several years which is testament to the hard work, dedication and care provided by all of the staff. We are extremely grateful for Banana Moon Day Nursery

Banana Moon Day Nursery Nunhead have looked after my two children and they both have grown so much in confidence in their care. Their learning has come on so much and they always take each child individual interests on board.
I honestly cannot fault the care, the love and the attention that all the
staff have. I am glad that my second child is still here for another two years as I would miss this is setting too much.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.864)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.864) out of 10 for Banana Moon Day Nursery Nunhead is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.864 for Banana Moon Day Nursery Nunhead is calculated as follows: ( (199 Excellents x 5) + (27 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 228 Ratings = 4.864
  2. 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 Nunhead is based on 19 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 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
    2. 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 65 number of registered child places is 13, which has been reached with 19 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
