My son started nursery a few months ago and we've had a wonderful experience so far. My son was so attached to me I was worried he wouldn't settle down. Initially he was really emotional and I'd leave him with both of us in tears. Fast forward a few weeks, he has adapted to the nursery environment and
has progressed so much already, which is a credit to everyone who works here. All the staff have been so kind, reassuring and supportive. It's lovely to get all the updates and know that your child is safe and well looked after. I would recommend this nursery to everyone and I can't wait to see my sons journey here.

Reply from Jag Kaur, Manager at Banana Moon Day Nursery Davyhulme

My son goes to Banana Moon Davyhulme. He started at around 9 months old and he was very attached to me! His induction process was super smooth & comforting for me, each member of staff ensured that both me and my child were happy before we got him in full days! The staff always keep me up to date about
my child's day which I love, and I'm pleased knowing my son is happy and safe at Banana Moon. The management is absolutely amazing & any problems that arise have been attended to immediately & professionally! Since starting at Banana Moon my son has developed so quickly & his food palette has grown immensely with the different variations of food they offer. My son has quickly made bonds with other babies in his class & grown strong connections with the workers.

My daughter has been here for a while now and her confidence has blossomed, she's much more confident, she's very sure on what she likes and doesn't like, she talks to everybody, she knows her number, colours and sentences and it's all thanks to banana moon staff, I would like to thank them for being
patient and making her feel welcome. Best nursery I picked. Would definitely recommend to everyone.

The nursery have been absolutely fantastic with my child who has been there since 9 months and is now 3+. The staff have always been fantastic with our child and very good at keeping us informed of how their day has been. The progression my child has made while at this nursery has also been fantastic.
They have always been achieving well over the expected milestones.

Excellent nursery staffs. We have had great experiences with my eldest while he was in Banana Moon. He still speaks fondly of his friends and teachers despite leaving almost 3 years now. I am so glad that we made the right decision to transfer our younger one back here and since in this Nursery, I have
never seen him so keen to get dressed to 'go school'. He would launch himself into his teachers' arms every morning which make a big difference to us parents knowing that he is well looked after. Massive thanks to the manager and staff who've been the best teachers any child can ask for! The updates on the app are excellent. I would 100% recommend Banana Moon Day Nursery Davyhulme!!!

Banana Moon Day Nursery has been a wonderful experience for our child. We've been so impressed with 4 members of staff in particular and the entire team's dedication to the babies' well-being. As working parents, we especially appreciate the peace of mind knowing our little one is in such capable hands.
The daily updates provide valuable insight into their day.
We're grateful for the team's evident passion and commitment to creating a stimulating environment. Our child has thrived with the wide range of activities designed to encourage learning and sensory development. We also appreciate the nursery's focus on healthy meals and the staff's support in fostering our child's independence with self-feeding. The daily feedback we receive clearly demonstrates the staff's hard work and genuine care. Thank you to everyone at Banana Moon Day Nursery Davyhulme for your exceptional dedication and for providing such a nurturing and enriching experience for our child. You all have been amazing!!

My baby has just started at Banana Moon Davyhulme this January 2025 and I could not be happier with our choice of nursery. The entire staff team are amazing, but I really want to highlight the girls in the baby room. They have adapted their routines and care to suit my baby's needs (including physio
for hip dysplasia) and are so caring towards him. I genuinely feel so relieved that he is in a place where I know he is receiving the best support alongside learning new skills. He is exposed to new learning daily and I can already see how much he is progressing from the interactive, sensory, thematic and stimulating activities that he experiences. The food that is provided is also excellent - there is always a range of flavours and healthy options. I also really appreciate the contact with home via the app - it's so wonderful to see updates on his day. I cannot thank the team enough for their hard work and kindness. It is so appreciated as a first-time mum returning to work!

The staff at Banana Moon have made our son feel welcome and he was very happy to go there after only a few days. The regular updates on the app keep us in the loop and have made us feel at ease, especially in the first few days. Staff have also helped a lot in the rehabilitation of a joint health issue
and implemented the guidance that the physio has given us.

All the staff are amazing. My son has been in the nursery since August and has come on so much, he loves attending nursery. All the staff could not do anything more to offer a more safe place for my son. He has come such a long way since being in the nursery, I can not thank the amazing team that take
care of my son while I'm at work.
The app is great to see what my son has eaten and the activities he gets up to on a daily basis.

My daughter has been attending this nursery since she was 11 months old and we love everything about it! Staff are friendly and helpful and it is clear that they care as much about my daughter's development as myself and her dad do. We always receive a warm welcome in the morning and enjoy updates on
the app throughout the day. Keep up the excellent work!

I can't recommend Banana Moon enough! The staff are incredibly caring and attentive, creating a warm and friendly environment for the kids.
Our daughter has blossomed since starting here, engaging in fun activities that promote her development. The safety we feel when she is in there is immense and
we go to work feeling safe and stress free!
We love the regular updates on the app and the open communication with the nursery staff at each drop off and pick up.
It's a fantastic place for any child to learn and grow! Definitely highly recommended.

I often collect my nephew from nursery, where his face says it all about the days he has had. He comes out with a beaming smile on his face, telling me all about his day. All the staff adore him and show a very professional manner when speaking to me. The app is great as we can look back at what he's
been learning in nursery daily. He's been at the nursery since he was 6 months old and is now turning 4. Seeing him grow and develop through all the rooms has been amazing. I definitely recommend this nursery if you want your child to have a homely caring experience.

All the staff are amazing. My son has been in the nursery for over a year now. The manager is a fantastic lady and could not do anything more to offer a more spectacular, safe place for my son. He has come such a long way since being in the nursery, I can not thank the amazing ladies that take care
of my son while I'm at work. 1000% all day every day is given to all children within the nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.930)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.930) out of 10 for Banana Moon Day Nursery Davyhulme is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 32 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 32 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.930 for Banana Moon Day Nursery Davyhulme is calculated as follows: ( (359 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 384 Ratings = 4.93

  • b) 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 Davyhulme is based on 32 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 51 number of registered child places is 10.2, which has been reached with 32 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
