With each child’s interests placed at the heart of staff's planning, a day at Banana Moon Day Nursery in Moseley, passes quickly.

Yes, time really does fly when you're having fun, with children learning through play.

Messy play, role playing, age appropriate toys, outdoor equipment and lots of other children to play with helps children learn in a safe and secure stimulating environment.
   
During play sessions, children are encouraged to be independent and to make their own choices from lots of different activities.

Children gain increased levels of confidence and are more socially astute thanks to their time at the nursery, enabling them to get the very best start in life.   

Parents are encouraged to tell staff their views to help the nursery improve and grow- just like its children.

My son started nursery in January 2022 at the age of 1, I had initial concerns about the nursery's less than outstanding Ofsted report. However, I have no regrets about choosing this nursery for my son. The staff's high level of involvement and their enthusiastic greetings at the start of the day have
reassured me. I witness the strong bond my son has formed with the staff as he often mentions them. It warms my heart to see their positive relationship. The nursery has also been supportive of my potty training efforts at home, maintaining a consistent routine that has benefited my son's progress. The convenient communication app for parents while at work and the engaging activities such as baking, art projects, and workshops have further impressed me. The manager and the rest of the team deserve recognition for their consistency and dedication. They have played a significant role in the growth and development of my son. I recommend this nursery to other parents, as it provides a nurturing environment

Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback. We are so happy you have no regrets and are happy with the nursery overall, I will definitely be feeding this back to the staff in your son's room.

Great nursery for our child. Me and my wife have no worries sending our children to Banana Moon Day Nursery their care and staff are excellent. Our daughter has flourished being at nursery and she's involved in lots of different activities on a daily basis. The app is great, allows us to keep track
of what our daughter is doing throughout the week and allows us to monitor her eating and sleeping habits.

We have been attending this nursery since 2020 and my daughter absolutely loves it. The staff are lovely and so are the managers. The nursery is so clean and well-organised and the app helps so much to see what they get up to in the day. I now have my second daughter starting and the settling-in sessions
have been so great. Cannot wait to see her blossom just like her sister. Thank you for all that you do and keep doing - the manager and the amazing team.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been attending Banana Moon for the past two years and has blossomed beautifully. Both my son and daughter have serious allergies, and this was the only nursery that was able to meet my son's healthcare needs six years ago, hence when I had to select a nursery for my daughter, I didn't
think twice. The nursery has adapted its routine to ensure that my child is always included in all aspects of learning and that her allergies are taken very seriously. The management team are extraordinary; they are very approachable with an open-door policy and are fantastic at helping us parents feel valued. A highly recommended nursery. Knowing that your child is in safe hands is a beautiful feeling!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From the very first walk around before we even decided to choose the nursery, the care, personal approach and dedication to the children were evident. Everyone is so very friendly and warm. Their approach to the settling-in sessions really put me at ease, and they were keen to spend time getting to
know my son and his likes and dislikes. In talking to other friends, Banana Moon’s settling-in sessions seem far better and more frequent than other nurseries.
The setting is lovely, and the staff take a personal interest in being creative and making the most of the activities for the children. The food is fantastic, homely and varied. I love dropping him off and picking him up to see his little face so full of excitement and love for the ladies looking after him - we found a gem, and I would not hesitate to recommend this nursery.

Banana Moon Day Nursery is a very lovely nursery my daughter started this nursery in 2020 and has enjoyed every moment of it she started here an independent but shy young girl as time has gone on she has come out of her shell so much more and exceeded her development with the dedication of her ladies
at the nursery. The staff are all warming and welcoming they give nothing but the best cuddles, well-educated and patient people.
The food that is provided for the children my daughter loved and when attempted at home she wouldn't eat it but would have second servings at nursery.
I would definitely recommend this nursery to all parents and guardians.

Banana Moon is a setting where you will see staff happy to be there and even your little one! My son has recently started there a few months ago and has become so independent and showing so many developmental changes, as being my first baby I was very anxious about leaving him but the staff are always
reassuring and happy to help with reliability. The ladies in the baby moon room are great with my son and even the management team are very understanding and relatable. One thing I love about the management team is you actually see them engaging with the children. A big thanks to staff for helping me get my little man all sorted to start a few months back and giving me a virtual show around to stick to covid 19 measures and a big thanks continuously to his key person for all the care she's given also all the lovely ladies in the baby moon room!

Our daughter is nearly 3 and loves going to nursery. She runs in every morning when we drop her off and comes home with a smile on her face. She does a wide range of activities and her meals are a varied and healthy range of food.
She has an excellent bond with the women who look after her and speaks
about them a lot when she gets home. All of the staff are lovely and management are very approachable if I ever need a chat.
Covid has been taken very seriously by the nursery and I have been impressed by the measures they have put in place.
We are very happy with Banana Moon and will be sending our younger daughter when she starts nursery later this year.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.372)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.372) out of 10 for Banana Moon Day Nursery Moseley is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.372 for Banana Moon Day Nursery Moseley is calculated as follows: ( (189 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) + (27 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 250 Ratings = 4.372
  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 Moseley is based on 18 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 90 number of registered child places is 18, which has been reached with 18 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.
