Fantastic nursery with the most caring, approachable and friendly staff! We were shown around by the office manager, who was very attentive, polite and transparent. The nursery has been so accommodating to our son's needs and the staff even researched his condition to provide the best level of care.
Key workers have been absolutely brilliant - My son is so happy there and is being looked after by the best! Definitely recommend this nursery!

I am pleased with the level of care my child is experiencing at Banana Moon. He is happy and enjoying his time at the nursery. They have plenty of learning opportunities through play. The environment is safe, and the staff are friendly and caring, also working together with the child’s development.

The manager is rude and hot-tempered. You cannot get a word in edgeways. You have to go to their availability. Not correct PPE when children playing outside. My son has only been there two weeks. He returned to me filthy and shoes soaking wet. No adequate key worker in place and incorrect diaries. Avoid
Banana Moon Stone Cross. If you are an involved parent don't expect any help from management to staff.

My twin toddlers have been here since January. Oustanding nursery, providing brilliant care on virtually a one-to-one basis. My children love going to nursery every day. The teachers are fabulous, very friendly and you can tell they really care for the children. The facilities outside are the best part
of the nursery for the twins. They enjoy the activities that the teachers have ready for them every day. As a mum I love how clean the nursery is and the staff are very comfortable with parents my kids will miss the nursery when they finish at the end of this term.

Review from Wendy T (Mother of Child) published on 31 March 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff at this nursery are attentive, kind and very motivated by the excellent management. You can see that staff have a fantastic bond with the children they care for.
Two members of staff, in particular, are incredible and listen and respond well to questions you may have. Their childcare understanding
and experience are solid. The children are happy here - my son is a very picky eater, even at home and they have helped encourage him to eat foods he would not normally try and have been successful in doing so. I almost fell over when his diary said he ate an apple. They also inform me of what he has tried so I can encourage him more at home.
With it being my son's first time away from me for long periods we both had some anxiety but mine has completely gone as I trust in the staff, my son's reaction at the drop-off has improved due to the kindness and care he is shown on arrival by all members of staff.
Overall a 10 out of 10 for childcare knowledge, child engagement, safety, encouragement and staff attitude.

Banana Moon is great for children who like to do a lot of activities. From playing with dough to running around in the playground. The vast amount of activities keeps the children active and they get to see their friends too. Great service and enjoyable for children.

I am very satisfied with this kindergarten. My child learned a lot. All the employees are very decent and polite and take great care of the children. The food is excellent, the child eats there what he does not want to eat at home. The cleanliness and hygiene inside is impeccable, I have never seen
it dirty inside the premises. The activities that the educators do with children are excellent.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I noticed that the management and carers put individualised learning plans for my child. They noticed the learning and development needed (verbal and speech) and worked on it accordingly. I noticed a significant change in my child's development within weeks. I found that the management and staff are
honest and caring. The safety practices are good, however, improvement is needed in the personal hygiene care of children. More involvement of parents is needed. The app/web diary is amazing, kept me updated and involved. If possible increase options for breakfast.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.722)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.722) out of 10 for Banana Moon Day Nursery West Bromwich is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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 4.722 for Banana Moon Day Nursery West Bromwich is calculated as follows: ( (162 Excellents x 5) + (48 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 216 Ratings = 4.722
  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 West Bromwich is based on 17 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 50 number of registered child places is 10, which has been reached with 17 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.
