The staff here are a compassionate and attentive group of individuals that always has your child’s best interests at heart. They will go far and beyond to accommodate the needs of your child and that of a parent. I would highly recommend this setting as a great start to a child’s development. My daughter
has thrived here!

My boys aged 2 and 4 started at Banana Moon Gloucester last year, the staff are lovely and helpful, my boys both love going to nursery and they are always eager to go. They have lots of fun and always come home having done different activities and they enjoy them all. The staff have a strict allergy
policy and I know my son who has a nut allergy is in very safe hands and if needed they are all first aid trained. I was recommended the nursery by a colleague and we cannot fault them at all. I have and will continue to recommend the nursery to friends and family.

When my daughter started coming to Banana Moon, she was very shy and not very confident. She has been coming for over a year now and she has settled in so quickly. The staff has helped my daughter find her confidence and not to be so shy and explore new things. The staff are so friendly and caring towards
the children and it is a very safe place to let your child explore and learn new things.

The staff are friendly and attentive. My little girl started in February 2019 and I must say, she has settled in really well. She has become more independent and her eating habits have improved a lot. She enjoys going to the nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I cannot praise the staff at Banana Moon enough for how they have made my child feel at ease with being away from me initially and has grown to love attending nursery. I am terribly sad that our time has come to an end with school on the horizon, however, I am very satisfied that my child is more than
prepared to move on and we will remember his time there fondly. The staff are lovely and I always felt that there was time to discuss how the day had been or any concerns that I was having. I would recommend this facility highly.

Have had 2 children here who have both settled really well and happy to come each day. The staff are genuinely enthusiastic and have a caring nature towards the children. No concerns over anything and feel that everyone is approachable enough to talk over any concerns if I would've had any.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
As parents, me and my partner are very happy with how this Nursery handles situations, how they support the children, and how they carry out everyday activities with the children, and as a Nursery. As a result, our child has gained far more confidence and happiness, which she struggled with when at
her previous Nursery. We thank this Nursery.

Review from Nicola C (Mother of Child) published on 8 February 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My children have attended Banana Moon for almost 6 months now! I have one child in under 2’s and one in over 2’s/preschool. They both love attending nursery, we are always greeted by a friendly face every morning be given a full account of their day, which is lovely! The staff are always very professional
and lovely and spend the time to get to know the children!
The facilities are fabulous, very clean and modern and staff are always changing it around and adding new additions to the children’s play areas! The outdoor area is lovely but It would be nicer to have freer access to the outdoors for the kids and the outdoor area being a little bit bigger!
They have such a good selection of meals and snacks and it’s all cooked fresh with my children usually eating seconds!
The nursery is always striving for improvement to help make the experience better for all. A recent addition being the launch of the e-journals where parents and staff can access easily for monitoring of child’s progressions.

After being disappointed with my child’s nursery, I decided to view Banana Moon and was really pleased with the information that was given; the resources, the daily routines and most importantly cleanliness of the nursery. My child settled really well and staff were brilliant.

Fabulous staff, very welcoming, spotlessly clean place. Apart from many other factors, what I really love about the nursery is their fresh home cooked food that is served for lunch and tea time. It means I don't have to cook/feed my child after a long day at work. My child loves going to the nursery
and every time I pick up my child, I get a detailed feedback from the staff. Well done to all the staff.

This is my first experience of a nursery and all staff are fantastic with my son. It was especially hard to get him to settle and they were all very patient with him. He now has fun every day he goes and has come such a long way since attending!

Leaving my children with the staff knowing they are well looked after, cared for and surrounded by a bunch of great teachers is what I found put my mind to rest.


My children grew in confidence, speech, academics as well as mannerisms and most days surprised me with the knowledge that they had (not

taught by me).

My daughter totally loves going to this nursery, it is a well cleaned and present nursery, the staff are amazing. I would highly recommend this nursery to everyone for their child.
I had separation issues when I first looked into putting her into a nursery, I viewed 2. This being the 2nd place and
I didn't look at any other. They worked amazingly with both me and my daughter, even through some really hard times they have accommodated mine and my daughter's needs, even at the last minute. Thank you. Looking forward to watching her grow for the next year at this nursery before she starts school.

Our daughter settled in so well, she has the best time at nursery and looks forward to going! The staff are amazing - they are so kind and helpful, and our daughter has bonded fantastically with them all. The 'baby' room is full of great activities, toys and books. I cannot recommend Banana Moon more!

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.
