Our daughter started with banana moon from the age 3, post covid, the difference they have made in her self confidence, her social skills and the skills to deal with her own emotional needs have been phenomenal! We're forever grateful to Banana Moon Day Nursery for the love, care and support you've
shown our daughter. Thank you for helping shape her little mind and heart!

Where do we begin. What a fantastic nursery. We have been so pleased with how well our children have managed attending Banana Moon since they started in October 2024. They were incredible during the transition phase and so supportive of our children's needs. Having a 3 year old and 1 year old to settle
it wasn't easy but the care and love the staff showed towards our children was incredible. They have been so accommodating of our children's needs and so understanding when they've been ill. As well as being supportive of administering medication when needed. Our children are so happy to go to nursery and enter the building with big smiles on their faces. We love being kept up to date with photos and messages of the days they've had. As a mother who has spent years working in the Early years and education system I couldn't be happier with the progress our children have made in such a short space of time. Thank you for being such a wonderful staff team.

Our little boy has been at Banana Moon since he was 10 months old and absolutely loves it. The care and love the staff show him is unmeasurable. His days are filled with lots of different fun activities which has developed his learning. The staff are wonderful and supportive, particularly in the first
few weeks when I was finding it difficult being back at work and leaving him. Thank you to everyone at Banana Moon for everything you've done for our son.

We love banana moon. It's a small setting where all the staff know your child. My daughter feels prepared for school and is leaving for the summer term soon. BM has helped her confidence! My son has been attending since he was 8/9 months and is always happy to go. He's now 18 months and loves it there!

I could not ask for better place for my son to be! My number one priority and base of my review is that my son loves it. He enjoys every minute of every day.
Every member of the team is so helpful, kind and supportive.
My son is attending nursery since he was 10months old. He is 3 now and I can
say from the bottom of my heart I'm great knowing that he is safe, loved and well looked after while I am at work.

My daughter went to Banana Moon Day Nursery Gloucester from when she was 1.5 years old until going to school. I will be forever grateful for all the staff and manager. She bloomed from a proper shy, Covid baby into a girl that was loving to go to "darling" as she was calling them.
As a first-time
mom with a lot of guilt on myself, they've always given me the reassurance I needed, they were looking holistically after me and my daughter. I wholeheartedly recommend them.
Thank you again. You've got all my respect.

My daughter moved to this nursery after the previous closed down and we couldn't have asked for a better nursery to take us in. All of the staff have been nothing but kind, caring and supportive. Nothing is too much trouble. My daughter absolutely loves coming, has thrived and is always full of stories
and happiness when she comes home. I would highly recommend this nursery.

Our daughter has come on in leaps and bounds since starting at Banana Moon Day Nursery.
Her social skills have come along massively since starting with both adults and other children. She loves playtime outside and all the activities, especially music and dancing.
I'm particularly pleased her eating
habits have picked up since starting nursery. She has become a confident eater in a social setting with her peers.
I also love how detailed the app is - I can see what my daughter's been up to, what she's
had to eat and drink, how long she's napped and nappy changes.

My son has been attending Banana Moon Day Nursery for over a year now and absolutely loves it. All of the staff are so lovely and caring. He learns so much each week. They have also been very accommodating as he has a medical condition which has put my mind at ease completely. Highly recommend!

The staff here are phenomenal and my child is so happy to be there.
All the staff know him very well and I feel very comfortable leaving him with any of them. He has grown and learnt so much whilst in their care and I couldn't thank them enough for making a difficult situation easy when we were looking
for a space in a crisis. The staff work well together and even the manager helps out. It is a lovely family business and worth every penny.
They do have an app which is wonderful but can sometimes be glitchy and slow to update on information like invoices and receipts.
Best nursery we have ever found to be honest but wish they could open a little earlier due to needing to be at work early but you can't have everything.
Thanks Banana Moon, you are great.

We are very thankful that we chose this nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My child moved from another nursery to Banana Moon Day Nursery when it closed down over a year ago and has thrived since attending.
He always enjoys going in and he talks about his friends and staff. I think the app is really good as can see what he's been up to in the day, the food he's eaten and
if he's napped or not (they are miracle workers at getting him to nap!)
The only very small negative I have is that I think there's a clothes monster in the building that eats clothes as we've lost a few hoodies never to be seen again (all labelled with name).
The staff are friendly, helpful and approachable.
Would definitely recommend!

Such a lovely nursery, my daughter loves it there. Took her very little time to settle in and now she keeps telling me when are we gonna go back as she’s only three days in there. I can see all staff do take seriously my requests and whenever I come pick my kid up they always tell me what they’ve done,
what my daughter accomplished and how she felt. I’m so happy as this was the first nursery I tried! Really do recommend.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This nursery is lovely. I visited a few before my (then) 12-month-old started and this one stood out to me. The children seemed confident and relaxed there and appeared to be comfortable approaching the staff. This has been proved to be true since my daughter started and I can see that each member of
staff knows her and the other children well, whether they work with her directly or within other areas of the nursery. I love the updates that I get throughout each session so that I can see what she is getting up to. I know that if there were any concerns they would be straight on the phone to me. I have no worries at all when I hand her over in the mornings and that has been the case since the beginning, which surprised me considering how nervous I was in the lead-up to her starting! The staff make both of us feel at ease which I love! Definitely recommend Banana Moon Day Nursery and can't wait to watch my little girl continue to thrive there, hopefully for years to come!

My daughter has been going to the nursery since March of this year, at first it was hard going, especially leaving my child for the first time, but the team were great and receiving the diary updates with the photos I could see all the fun she was having.
Since starting, I have seen my daughter grow
and develop so much it really has been great for her. Every member of staff is lovely and any time I’ve had a worry they have taken it on board and taken the time to discuss it with me.

Banana Moon Day Nursery is a fantastic nursery. Our son has been attending since the age of 1 and will be saying goodbye to the nursery in the next few weeks to go to primary school. The staff are amazing and know each child so well on an individual basis, attending to their needs and wishes throughout
the day. The staff also have a great rapport and relationship with parents. Each individual staff member delivers their work with outstanding competence and compassion and this is reflected in the children throughout all age groups.
Thank you so much Banana Moon for taking great care of our son over the past few years. We will miss you!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.885)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.885) out of 10 for Banana Moon Day Nursery Gloucester 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 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.885 for Banana Moon Day Nursery Gloucester is calculated as follows: ( (202 Excellents x 5) + (22 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 226 Ratings = 4.885
  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 Gloucester is based on 19 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 47 number of registered child places is 9.4, which has been reached with 19 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.
