Myself and my partner had our cars stolen and the nursery have gone above and beyond to make sure we as a family are ok.
This nursery don't just care about curriculum or when your child is just in the setting. They care constantly and always there to help !
I always say the staff are like our co
parents haha, but the truth is they are ! They provide so much fun / creativity and development for my boys.
I would choose this nursery day in day out ! I could not recommend this nursery enough.
If anyone is reading this and thinking of putting your children in to this nursery I would bet any money you would not regret it !
We love banana moon sale !

My daughter loves this nursery. She has been going here since she was around 7 months old. The staff have all been amazing. They do different activities each day and go out for walks and trips which my daughter loves. They also helped us refer my daughter to speech and language last year due to a stammer.
They use a great app which the nursery uses to send me updates and messages, shares golden moments relating to her development and has a diary so I can see what she is doing during the day.
Reply from Chloe Lowden, Head of Nursery at Banana Moon Day Nursery SaleThank you so much for your lovely review. We're delighted to hear how much your daughter enjoys her time at our nursery. It's wonderful to know that the activities, walks, and trips are highlights for her, as our team really enjoys creating engaging experiences for our children.

My son has been at this nursery for two years now and I honestly can't fault it. He's so happy there and runs in every morning without even looking back, which says everything.
His confidence has grown so much and he's doing really well in all areas. The staff genuinely care about the children and
always go above and beyond. I completely trust them with my son, which means everything as a parent.
I would highly recommend this nursery.

My son started Banana Moon when he was 11 months old and he is now in Teenies room, so we experienced both baby and Teenies room so far.
I was very nervous and emotional at the beginning, but thanks to very caring staff, I could see that he settled very quick. All staff (room practitioners and the
management team) is very well-organised, they always have creative activities and I could see very good progress in my son's development. Also, I believe my little one really enjoys the delicious and nutritious meals provided!

Banana moon have been amazing for my family, I cannot recommend them enough.
They have been a fantastic support for my family and continue to be.
They are extremely accommodating to me , especially when I ask for additional half days and full days for my daughter. We don't have any childcare or
family around so this has been invaluable to me and my husband.

My 2 children come to Banana Moon, my son started in February after we relocated he settled in so well and loves going! He loves being outdoors which is one of the things I love about Banana Moon they take every opportunity to get the children outside! My little girl started in April, she was only 8
months old at the time but she's come on leaps and bounds since starting and can see she's so settles and loves going! It makes me feel so happy seeing them both enjoying themselves!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.920)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.920) out of 10 for Banana Moon Day Nursery Sale 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 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.920 for Banana Moon Day Nursery Sale is calculated as follows: ( (246 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 264 Ratings = 4.92
  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 Sale is based on 22 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 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 78 number of registered child places is 15.6, which has been reached with 22 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.
