My Daughter has been attending Banana Moon in Stirchley since September 2023. She loves going into nursery and has made some lovely relationships with staff and children. The nursery is clean, tidy and they have lots of nice toys and equipment for the children to play with. She especially loves the
garden with the bikes and messy play. The staff are always so friendly and welcoming and I feel confident she will always be looked after and comforted if she is ever upset. Since going up to Mini Moons her speech has really improved and she surprises us with how much she learns at nursery. We couldn't recommend Banana Moon more.

My little boy has been attending Banana Moon for over a year now and he absolutely loves it! The staff are really caring and friendly, and the toys/equipment are lovely. Its really good to receive updates as to the activities that the children do, and he eats all of the meals provided (plus extra portions!).
The nursery have been really supportive with potty training recently and he is doing so well :-). I would definitely recommend this nursery.

I cannot say enough good things about this nursery we have been thoroughly impressed with the nurturing environment and dedicated staff.
The teachers are not only professional but also genuinely caring and attentive. They create a warm and welcoming atmosphere that makes drop-off a breeze. I love
how they take the time to get to know each child and tailor their approach to fit individual needs.
The curriculum is engaging and developmentally appropriate, combining play-based learning with structured activities that promote social, emotional, and cognitive growth. My child has come home excited to share what they learned each day, and it's heartwarming to see them thrive.
The facilities are clean, safe, and well-organized, with plenty of outdoor space for play. Communication with parents is excellent, with regular updates and opportunities for involvement in activites

My little boy has been attending this nursery since February 2023 ( shortly after it first opened!). The staff are lovely and welcoming and the environment is bright and airy. The outdoor space is quite big and lots of well maintained equipment for the children to play with. The updates every week on
what each room will be working on is great. Communication is fantastic and having the app helps with any little questions. The food is fantastic, my son regularly states that the chef is a good "cooker"! , all freshly made on site.

We love banana moon nursery! My two daughters have been at the nursery now and it is a lovely environment for children to flourish! We are so pleased and reassured by the care and compassion the staff have for the children and make the effort to get to know them so well, their likes and dislikes and
always feedback on how their day has been. We love receiving artwork and different things they have been up to in the day and it's lovely when the children get to have time to play outside. Thank you Banana Moon x

Our children seem to enjoy their days at Banana Moon, and have formed nice bonds with some of their favourite staff members. The building was recently purpose-built so indoor facilities are great, and always seem clean and tidy. There's some outdoor space; in an ideal world a bit more would be nice
but finding an urban nursery that offers this is rare. The weekly activities seem well organised and thought-through, and relate to the seasons/time of year etc. Lots of Comms about what's coming up, and how this relates to learning objectives, both via email and in the app. The care seems to be very good, especially in the baby room the kids seem well looked after, albeit on occasion the staff in this room seem to have their hands pretty full at times. Food seems decently nutritious, and our fussy older child eats more adventurously than at home. Management are friendly and communicative. Pricing is reasonable, especially given the quality of care.

My little one has been going to nursery here since Sep 24 and is thriving. We are so impressed with how much the staff care about his wellbeing, they are always friendly and make time for a thorough handover, they send messages on the app to put our mind at ease if he's having a hard time and send pictures
so we can see him having the best time at nursery. He loves the home cooked meals and usually has seconds, his language development has really improved and he's just a happy bunny. We love that he's outside whenever the weather allows it and takes part in lots of messy and arty activities.

My son has been at Banana Moon for 2 years now and every day he has the best time. Staff care is second to none, activities are varied and keep him stimulated, communication at the end of each day provides a detailed summary of what he's been up to and E-communication is outstanding but now over bearing.
I've suggested Banana Moon to my friends for their children and those who have taken up the offer have been equally impressed.

From the first day, he cried and said he wanted to go home. One day, two months later, he said that I really love Banana Moon and the teachers. “I want to go to school every day.” Thank you very much to everyone in Banana moon.

The nursery facilities and staff are a brilliant environment for our daughter to develop social and core academic skills.
The food provided and value is great and our daughter enjoys the experience and her cereal to start the day.
My only criticism is the lack of flexibility in amending days when
required for holidays and leave period, when we are still required to pay for non-attendance days, regardless of the notice provided.
Would highly recommend.

My son has been going to Banana Moon Day Nursery since the start of January 2024 for two days per week. At the start, I was very anxious as I had just started back at work following my maternity leave, the staff at Banana Moon made me feel that my son was going to be safe and they also gave me updates
throughout the dreaded first day. Since then, I have enjoyed bringing my son to this nursery, always greeted by staff that are smiling and always up for a quick chat, continuous updates on my son's progress and always addressing any concerns in a timely manner. I will enjoy seeing and hearing about my son's progress throughout his time in this nursery and would recommend this nursery. Thanks to all the staff members.

Our experience with Banana Moon Stirchley has been very positive so far! Our daughter started there last September just before she turned one. The building is brand new so everywhere is very clean and modern. The food is amazing! Diaries are updated daily, sometimes with photos. Security is good and
all the staff are lovely and just want to do their best for the children in their care. Our daughter is very happy!

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.712)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.712) out of 10 for Banana Moon Day Nursery Stirchley 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 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 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:

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

    The Average Rating of 4.862 for Banana Moon Day Nursery Stirchley is calculated as follows: ( (175 Excellents x 5) + (28 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 203 Ratings = 4.862

  • 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 4.85 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Banana Moon Day Nursery Stirchley 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:

    • 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 100 number of registered child places is 20. 17 Positive Reviews ÷ 20 = 0.85

  • 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.
