Excellent nursery.
My one-year-old son used to go to another nursery but he wasn't happy. Since he came to Banana Moon he completely changes his perception of being separate from me.
He's so excited to go to and he has become more independent.
Excellent, personal.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
There aren't many other nurseries locally with such great space, light, garden areas. The staff are really caring and friendly. My son learnt so much from preschool and both my children are very at home there. My only concerns are how the staff are managed, developed, cared for. In the past, they have
felt very undervalued which has led to high turnover, and therefore less stability for the children.

It took a while for my son to settle into nursery life. But was quick to settle in with the support and patience from the staff and management team. He now enjoys his time at the nursery.
Also, the staff are always welcoming and happy. Many thanks.

The thing I like about Banana Moon is that all the staff have good communication and I feel very confident to discuss any issues with them and it gets resolved quickly. The only
suggestion I can give is that Banana Moon needs to take their children on a trip outside of the nursery.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My son has attended Banana Moon from the age of 19 months, he is now three and a half. My son loves nursery so much and always comes home with stories about his day. He is cared for very well and has built wonderful relationships with the staff. The nursery manager is approachable, listens to any concerns
and cares about making improvements to the nursery. A particular highlight for me was getting support with potty training when he was two. Although we have moved out of the area, my son will continue to attend the nursery until it's time for school as he is happy, settled and thriving.

We are extremely happy with Banana Moon Day Nursery Battersea. Our daughter is 2 1/2 and has been attending part-time since she was 10 months old. She has formed excellent attachments with staff and enjoys the play and learning she is developing. The outdoor space is a particular draw to the nursery,
as is the very new facilities. Recommended.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has attended the nursery for 4 days a week for the last 8 months. The key staff are experienced and very caring and my son is settled, happy and developing well. The facilities are new and the outside space is wonderful. In the summer the children can move freely between inside and out which
gives them freedom to play and explore in a safe environment. The food is varied and the children are often involved in preparation and cooking activities. The opening hours and location offer great flexibility for our family and the fees are good value for money compared to other nurseries in the area.

My daughter has been attending this nursery for over a month now and I can already see the transition my daughter has gone through. My daughter is much more confident and independent. Her vocabulary has improved immensely and she is flourishing into a confident little girl. The environment, staff and
facilities are impeccable. I'm so pleased to have chosen this nursery to enable my daughter to have a good start in her early years experience. I must add it is also very affordable company to other nurseries in the area.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.889)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.889) out of 10 for Banana Moon Day Nursery Battersea 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 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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 4.889 for Banana Moon Day Nursery Battersea is calculated as follows: ( (255 Excellents x 5) + (32 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 287 Ratings = 4.889
  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 Battersea is based on 24 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 58 number of registered child places is 11.6, which has been reached with 24 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.
