My son loves the nursery and the staff are very loving and kind towards him. He has always struggled being separated from me (even though he has been going for over a year!) but all of the staff give him lots of cuddles and patience and he has a great day every time.
It would be nice to get some more
photos of what he has been doing, but I’d rather everyone was busy having fun. They do lots of activities and have bikes and a mud kitchen.

I really like Banana Moon because of the staff, the rooms and the transparency. They have an app system which is brilliant. The building is newly constructed and feels good. My child is happy there, so definitely recommend it.

My little one has been at Banana Moon for over a year now and loves going to nursery. The baby room was great with lots of love and care are given to the little ones. She is now in the toddler room and loves it even more. Lots of activities to get involved in and a great focus on independence and self-learning
through play and during food time.
A positive, happy atmosphere amongst staff!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been at this nursery for nearly 12 months and has come on in leaps and bounds since starting. She enjoys her time here and has developed trusting relationships with the staff. She comes home every day excited and can’t wait to tell me all about her day. If she had her way she’d stay
there forever!
The setting is new and purpose-built with everything at children’s height encouraging child-led learning with a great playhouse in full moons!
The price is equivalent to other nurseries in the area and payments are split equally across the year making it easier to budget.
The staff are all approachable and responsive to any queries or requests. I really like the fact that I can walk in at any time unannounced using the fingerprint system - this was a massive selling point for me when choosing a nursery. I would 100% recommend it.

My daughter loves going to nursery here! The staff are very friendly and attentive. They have each child's individual development in mind and do activities to help achieve key milestones. The premises is always neat and tidy and they have great indoor and outdoor spaces. I am happy to be able to send
my child there knowing she is safe and well looked after.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have a toddler and a baby at the nursery and I am very happy with the care they receive. The staff are very thoughtful and caring and the kids always come home tired out after a day at nursery, so I know they have been busy and stimulated. My toddler enjoys telling us what he’s been up to, which friends
he’s been playing with and what he’s been talking to the teachers about. The facilities are more than adequate, there is so much for them to play with, and it always seems very clean. The only thing I would add is, it would be great to see more photos and earlier updates on the app, but I understand the staff are very busy so appreciate this isn’t always possible.

A great nursery. Very good communication from the staff and regular updates are sent via email regarding any changes or events. The staff were very patient with my child when he started and helped him to settle well. He now loves going in. Food and snacks are prepared on-site offering good healthy meals
which is great.

Everything from my first impression to the friendly welcome of all the staff just makes me feel comfortable about this nursery. The building is purposely designed for its use and feels extremely safe and clean and well-equipped. The outdoor space and openness of the roof gardens are such great spaces
for the little ones. The staff are very informative and always put me at ease and seem to care about the child’s well-being you can tell it’s not just a job. I feel happy sending him to nursery and now only 6 weeks in he’s settled in and I know he’s thriving and happy there. The food is amazing and the communication is also great. The use of the app keeps me reassured daily and I always know what he has eaten and how much he has slept etc. Keep up the good work guys.

My child has been attending Banana Moon for the last year and a half and we couldn’t be happier with our choice! All the staff are brilliant- friendly, professional and they really get to know each child. The setting and facilities are amazing and it’s fantastic that they offer lots of outdoor play.
The biggest testament is that my child enters and leaves with a smile on their face and always lets me know they've had a wonderful day. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Banana Moon!

After a year at a different nursery with our first child, we were keen to improve our experience. Banana Moon Day Nursery Stirchley was a breath of fresh air. The team are so welcoming and allowed us to be very involved with the settling-in process. We have two children with them and both have settled
in beautifully. The staff are warm and friendly and my children are rarely returned to me overly messy, tired or hungry (unlike the previous nursery!). We’re delighted with Banana Moon and happy we joined.

All the staff are amazing and understanding, all staff take their time to say morning or goodbye to each individual. My son has been going now for a year and loves every moment, the support he is given as a child with speech delay is amazing.

Fabulous nursery! Very clean, modern and has plenty of toys and activities to keep the children busy all day. The staff genuinely care about every child that attends. Even the members of staff that don't work closely with my daughter know her name and take the time to greet her when they see her and
tell me how well she seems to have settled in which is so lovely. My daughter is really happy here and enjoys telling me what she's been up to. She loves playing football and in the sandboxes outside. If the weather isn't too bad then the door to the garden is kept open so she can go in and out as she pleases (obviously under supervision at all times). Another great aspect is the positive changes in her behaviour at home. Cannot fault this place in the slightest! Thank you.

Review from K A (Mother of Child) published on 22 September 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
We chose this nursery because it was perfectly located for the school run to local schools. We've been there for around 9 months and so far it's lovely. In the baby room the staff are so caring towards the children, if they are upset for any reason it's met with lots of cuddles, just as you would at
home as a parent. They really work get to know the children and work to their routine and interests. They are always ready with advice and helpful little suggestions for everything child-related too.
My only down points are that you have to provide your own nappies and wipes (at my eldest's nursery it was all included for the same price) and that on the app I don't see many photos but that might be because we aren't there all week.

Transferred our little boy over at 1 year old after having been with another nursery for about 5 months. This one was closer to us which was the main reason for choosing but we are really happy with the decision overall as fantastic facilities, lovely staff team and always lots of fun activities for
the little ones. Our toddler enjoys his days at nursery and we get good regular updates and news on the app.

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.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. 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:

  1. 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
  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 4.85 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:

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