Our daughter loves going to nursery at Banana Moon Day Nursery Stirchley and I can only attribute that to the amazing job the staff do of looking after her. There is a warm and cooperative atmosphere amongst the staff and they are always welcoming and helpful towards the parents.
Reply from Charlotte Robbins, Director at Banana Moon Day Nursery StirchleyDear Jenny, it is very reassuring and comforting to know your child enjoys coming to nursery. We hope your child continues flourishing with us. It is a pleasure to have you as part of the Banana Moon family.

Review from J S (Father of Child) published on 30 April 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
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.
Reply from Charlotte Robbins, Director at Banana Moon Day Nursery StirchleyWe appreciate your review. We are pleased that your daughter is growing and blossoming while with us. In addition, we will take into consideration your views on flexibility for the future. Thank you for being a great family to work with.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.
Reply from Charlotte Robbins, Director at Banana Moon Day Nursery StirchleyDear Samantha, thank you for your uplifting review. we are delighted to have been chosen to be part of your child's most important years of life. We are glad you and your family feel safe and at ease with us.

Banana Moon is a fantastic nursery, the staff are absolutely lovely and do the utmost to ensure my daughter has the best time when she is there. They have helped her to come on leaps and bounds with her speech and her crawling/walking. She absolutely loves going to nursery and they have been amazing
in regard to her wants and needs.

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!

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!

Review from Gemma P (Mother of Child) published on 5 April 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
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.

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!

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.678)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.678) 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 4.8 out of 5 from 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 18 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 4.828 for Banana Moon Day Nursery Stirchley is calculated as follows: ( (178 Excellents x 5) + (37 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 215 Ratings = 4.828
  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 18 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 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.95
    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. 18 Positive Reviews ÷ 20 = 0.9
  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.
