Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both our children have attended the nursery and both they and we as parents have been extremely happy. The staff are very kind, friendly and helpful, and communication from the management team is great. The nursery opening hours are fab and we like that food is included and the menu is always varied
and encourages the children to try new things.
The facilities are good - the outdoor space is great and they spend a lot of time playing outdoors which is important to us. The focus is very much on play and is child led but there are also additional activities such as French classes and this week they did some yoga. I would recommend this nursery to others.

Banana Moon is a fantastic place for our little one; we’re so pleased we chose it. The location is perfect for us. The outdoor space is incredible for our little adventurer. The biggest asset to Banana Moon is the people. The practitioners all really take care of our most precious team members; we’re
left with the feeling that they support, nurture and encourage development. It’s a lovely environment.

Both my children have gone to Banana Moon. I feel the staff care genuinely about the children and enjoy spending time with them. Three meals and additional snacks are prepared fresh onsite. There is a lovely big garden where the kids spend lots of time.

We are very happy with the care our little one receives at Banana Mood Day Nursery Sheffield. Our little one is always keen to go into nursery and has lots of fun!
The service is professional, with simple pricing structures and good menus. The staff are so kind and caring with the children.
The Banana
Moon app is a great way to communicate with team members and provides reassurance during the day it is nice to see what the little ones are enjoying.

Happy to fully recommend Banana Moon. My little boy has been attending for over a year and has loved coming in every day, both in the baby room and now in toddlers. There is always a wide variety of indoor and outdoor activities for the children, and it often seems to be very child-led which is great
for imaginative play. The staff are lovely, genuinely caring, and helpful. The nursery app is also great, it's lovely to see how they are getting on throughout the day.

Friendly staff, variety of play and activities, and my little boy also arrives and leaves with a big smile. App used for updates is helpful and nice to see pictures of the day. Feel like my boy’s development has been really good and his curiosity to learn helped massively by time in the nursery.

Both our boys attend the nursery and we are extremely happy with their care. The staff are fantastic with our boys and understand and respond to their individual needs. There are a variety of great activities and learning opportunities including some external provision, such as dancing and French. We
love that they receive home-cooked meals and that the nursery has a large garden for them to explore. But what we love most is the staff and how they treat our children like family.

We now have our second child attend Banana Moon and both children are well looked after and cared for by the staff. There are a variety of activities throughout the day to help children develop and staff always come up with new ideas. The nursery have their own in-house cook, who provides a broad variety
of home-cooked meals. Another big plus point for us is the outdoor space. The children get to play outside every day.

Both of my sons attend Banana Moon and have a great time whilst they are there. The staff are all fantastic, so welcoming and loving. The feedback we receive is fantastic and has recently moved to an online app which makes things much easier as I can check on how they are at different times of the day.
All of the children appear to be happy and well looked after. They have a huge outdoor area which is used daily. We couldn't be happier with our choice of nursery for our children!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My husband and I are so pleased with the care provided by Banana Moon Day Nursery Sheffield. The staff obviously have huge amounts of pride in what they do and this is reflected in the fabulous and positive manner in which they interact with the children. The children undertake a variety of daily activities
(if they wish to) from French and Spanish lessons to different dance activities. The children are encouraged to be confident, respectful individuals and are able to express themselves in the way they feel comfortable. We go to work knowing our son is genuinely compassionately cared for. We couldn't be more grateful
Reply from Stephanie Horsfield, Manager at Banana Moon Day Nursery SheffieldThank you for your kind words, Kelly, It is our absolute pleasure to care for your son here at Banana Moon Sheffield. The team work very closely together to create a safe, stimulating and loving environment for all our children. I will pass on your review to the girls for a lovely Monday morning boost.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
With the help of the excellent staff our child (who can be a bit shy at times) settled in at the nursery quickly and she now loves going there. The nursery has a large outdoor area and they spend time outside every day. The staff are extraordinarily friendly and very gentle with the children. They played
a huge part in making the transition to nursery as easy as possible for our child. All the learning at the nursery is well documented and parents receive daily care sheets to get an insight into what their child has been up to. The food is freshly prepared on site and our daughter seems to enjoy it. Overall I would highly recommend Banana Moon Day Nursery Sheffield.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.811)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.811) out of 10 for Banana Moon Day Nursery Sheffield 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 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 16 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 4.911 for Banana Moon Day Nursery Sheffield is calculated as follows: ( (174 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 190 Ratings = 4.911
  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 4.9 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Banana Moon Day Nursery Sheffield is based on 16 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.9
    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 66 number of registered child places is 13.2, which has been reached with 16 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.

Job Title: Nursery Manager Joined: 2016

Hello,
My name is Danni and I am the manager of Banana Moon Day Nursery. I have worked here since 2016 and became manager in 2018. I have 2 boys who are 5 and 2. My eldest has gone to primary school this year and my youngest is here with me at Banana Moon. I am level 6 qualified after achieving a BA honours in early childhood studies and have over 10 years’ experience of working in early years across all age ranges. I love outdoor play! We spend a lot of family time over the weekends in the parks and woods surrounding Sheffield, getting wet and muddy. This is something we actively encourage at Banana Moon and our large garden allows us to enhance children’s experiences in the outdoor environment. I also love our storytimes at nursery. Watching the children’s imagination grow with every turn of the page is one of my favourite things about working in early years.
