Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
An absolutely wonderful playgroup which our little boy loves. We love how they utilize the space they have both indoors & outdoors, but also how often the children go on trips to the park or beach! Jess & Aimee work tirelessly & with so much love and attention. They're a credit to the Banana Moon team.
We're
so pleased we chose Banana Moon and would reccomend it to anyone looking for childcare within the area.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son absolutely loved his time at Banana Moon Porthcawl Holiday Club! From the brilliant walks to all the play opportunities and the constant supply of tasty snacks, he had the best time. It really is the best hidden secret in Porthcawl.
The staff are warm and welcoming, the space is fantastic, and
the facilities are excellent. The location couldn't be better-close to town, the parks, and the beach. The app is great too, keeping us updated throughout the day.
We're already looking forward to our little girl joining once she's old enough.
Highly recommend! X happy son, happy mum.

Current Review Score: 8.7 (8.667)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.7 (8.667) out of 10 for Banana Moon Day Nursery Porthcawl 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 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.8 out of 5 from 3 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 4.917 for Banana Moon Day Nursery Porthcawl is calculated as follows: ( (33 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 36 Ratings = 4.917
  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 3.75 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Banana Moon Day Nursery Porthcawl is based on 3 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 = 3.25
    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 30 number of registered child places is 6. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 6 = 0.5
  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.
