My child has just started the nursery, settling was fantastic, and the manager and key worker were wonderful; they took time to get to know me and my baby. They explained everything that will happen during the day and what activities there would be available for my baby, including a weekly Hartbeeps
class in which I took part on my show round, which was wonderful. The menu is very well thought of, and the chef was very happy to say hello when we visited, which we didn’t experience at any other nursery. Thank you, Banana Moon Day Nursery Bromley, for everything so far.
Reply from LE, Director at Banana Moon Day Nursery BromleyThank you so much for your wonderful review! We are so glad to hear that you and your child are having such a positive experience at Banana Moon Day Nursery Bromley.
We are always looking for ways to improve our services, so it is great to hear that you are happy with the settling process, the manager and key worker, plus our activities, the menu, and the chef!

My son has been attending since September 2022. He was attending a previous nursery and there is such a big difference. My son is so much happier at Banana Moon. He is happy to come to the nursery. Made great relationships with staff and other children. The staff are great. Have good communication skills.
They have ensured that they have got to know my child really well. The facilities are great, they have a sensory room and a soft playroom. They also arrange great activities such as making pizza, sports, and having animals come into the nursery for the children to see.
Reply from LE, Director at Banana Moon Day Nursery BromleyThank you so much for your glowing review! We are so glad to hear that your son is happy at Banana Moon. We strive to provide a nurturing environment where children can thrive. We are proud of our staff, who are dedicated to getting to know each child and their individual needs.
We appreciate your feedback. Thank you again for choosing Banana Moon!

I recently visited the nursery to collect my nephew and what a wonderful place this is, I was greeted at the door by the manager who ensured security by asking me for the specific password for our family, this is brilliant.
Well, the garden area is where I was taken to and I saw the staff interacting
with the children and they looked so happy giggling away, how lovely to see this.
I spoke to my nephew's keyworker and she gave me feedback on his day, making pizza, a music man who visited and what he had had for lunch.
Super nursery with brilliant staff. Thank you.

They always have special occasions for the kids, they had a fire brigade come over for the kids which they really enjoyed. The manager there is really helpful and full of banter which is needed in this time of suffering. My child has been there since the beginning when there was only a handful of children,
it’s good to see them grow and get the recognition they deserve!
Reply from LE, Director at Banana Moon Day Nursery BromleyThank you so much for your kind review! We're so glad to hear that your child is enjoying all the special occasions and activities that we offer. We know that the fire brigade visit was a big hit, and we're always looking for new and exciting ways to keep the kids entertained.
We're also proud of our manager, who is always going above and beyond to make sure that our families are happy, which is especially appreciated during these challenging times.
We're so glad that your child has been with us since the beginning. It's been a pleasure to watch them grow and thrive, and we're proud to be a part of their journey.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been in Banana Moon for over a year. I cannot be happier. The facilities are great. Each room has a good size and activities are being changed regularly.
There is a sensory room and soft play room that is very handy during cold and rainy months.
Outdoor space is great and there is
an outside room where they can play. The food is brilliant, they have their own chef and the food is always fresh and hot.
There is a sports team coming, music man and multi-sensory classes. They always come up with new activities, like pizza-making or planting flowers. They organise summer parties with parents.
The staff is great. The manager is always around and knows every child. She creates such a warm, like home, environment. The baby room has actual cots (not just mattresses on the floor).
The nursery is not cheap but value for money is great. It is worth every penny!
They are Ofsted good but they are much better than other outstanding nurseries we have been before.
Reply from LE, Director at Banana Moon Day Nursery BromleyThank you so much for your wonderful review of Banana Moon! We are so happy to hear that your daughter is thriving in our care. We take great pride in our facilities, our staff, and our curriculum, and we are always working to improve.
We are particularly pleased that you mentioned the manager. She is a passionate leader who is dedicated to creating a warm and nurturing environment for all of our children. We are so lucky to have her on our team.
We also appreciate your feedback on the value of our nursery. We believe that our quality of care is worth every penny. We are committed to providing our children with the best possible start in life, and we are grateful that you recognize the value of that.
Thank you again for your review. We are so glad to have you as part of our Banana Moon family!

My 2-year-old grandson enjoys all the activities at Banana Moon and I especially like that singing and music are encouraged. We often sing as we go home if the music man has been.
There is a wide and stimulating range of activities on offer, encouraging shape and colour recognition; language development
and motor control - and all fun.
Reply from LE, Director at Banana Moon Day Nursery BromleyThank you so much for your kind review of Banana Moon Bromley! We're so glad to hear that your grandson is enjoying all the activities, especially the music.

My son goes to Banana Moon and loves it! Already after only being here a few weeks, picked up on concerns I had due to speech and already sent a referral. Really feel his needs are being met. The staff are all lovely and it really is a home-from-home feel. Thank you!
Reply from L.E., Director at Banana Moon Day Nursery BromleyDear Jess, thank you for your wonderful feedback. It's been lovely to see how quickly your son has settled with us.

My son has been at Banana Moon since April last year. He absolutely loves the staff members, they are so kind, caring and loving towards my son. He is always over the moon when we pull up on the drive and is always very happy to be at nursery. He has developed so much and is doing fantastically and
learning new things every day. The app is ideal for me to check whilst I am at work. I feel very confident in the care provided here and am so happy to have found such an amazing setting.
Reply from L E, Director at Banana Moon Day Nursery BromleyThank you so much for your feedback. It's lovely to hear how well your son has settled. He is a delight to have with us and it is a pleasure to see how much he enjoys his time with us. We are happy that you are making use of our parent app too.

Review from Ozlem K (Mother of Child) published on 31 May 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
All three of my children have been here, and I’ve never had any issues. We felt very welcome from the very start. Always had complete confidence that my children are safe under their care. Very professional staff, who in addition to caring, also focus on the child’s individual developmental needs. Lovely
outside space too. We love the fun-filled Saturday events and the parent communication days! They run focus weeks where they review how my sons are doing and then give us daily updates on the Banana Moon app.
We (parents) and children love the externally based activities such as superstar sports and hartbeeps.
The staff and management are always very accommodating and happy to listen! Overall, an excellent setting! Thank you to all of the team at Banana Moon!
Reply from L.E., Director at Banana Moon Day Nursery BromleyThank you for taking the time to review our nursery Ozlem; we appreciate your feedback. Your children are a pleasure, and it has been wonderful to see how much they enjoy the activities and their time in the garden. Kind regards.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
We struggled to find a nursery that ticked all the boxes so when we came across Banana Moon Bromely we finally found somewhere we were happy to leave our son. The resources were excellent and we especially like that there was a natural outdoor play space too. We saw so many places where the whole of
the outdoors was fake and natural and a connection to nature for early years learning was really important to us. We've been so pleased with the way our son settled so quickly and enjoys going to 'school' always speaking with happy expressions when mentioning his teachers and time in the nursery.
Reply from Banana Moon Management Team, Director at Banana Moon Day Nursery BromleyThank you for your lovely review. We are very proud of our outdoor space and that our children can spend time in the natural environment. We are delighted that you chose us to share this important time with your child.

I was really apprehensive about sending my child to nursery but I really shouldn't have been - the staff are so lovely and caring and there are great facilities - including 2 great gardens, a sensory room and lots of rooms to play. My son always bounces out of nursery happy and it's so lovely to receive
photos from his day! I'm so glad I chose this nursery as you can really see the staff really care about what they do!
Reply from Lorraine, Director at Banana Moon Day Nursery BromleyThank you for giving us such lovely feedback. We were very touched to read your positive comments. It's so important to us that all our children settle in well and we're so pleased to hear how happy your child is. The parent app is a wonderful way for us to communicate with parents and give an insight into all the activities and resources the children have access to during the day. We were especially delighted to read your comments about our staff. Our early years practitioners are very dedicated and take so much pride in delivering first-class care and delivering our Banana Moon Learning and Development Programme. Thank you.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.744)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.744) out of 10 for Banana Moon Day Nursery Bromley is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 16 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 4.844 for Banana Moon Day Nursery Bromley is calculated as follows: ( (162 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 192 Ratings = 4.844
  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 4.9 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Banana Moon Day Nursery Bromley is based on 16 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.9
    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 70 number of registered child places is 14, which has been reached with 16 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.
