Hatton nursery rated as one of the Top 20 nurseries in the West Midlands

A nursery in Hatton has been rated as one of the top 20 nurseries in the West Midlands.

Banana Moon Day Nursery, which is Station Road, made the top 20, out of 1,280 early years settings in the region.

The top twenty nurseries have received an award from day nurseries reviews site, daynurseries.co.uk, with the award based on the nursery’s reviews from the children’s families and carers.

The nurseries were rated on overall standard, facilities and outside space, learning, resources and equipment and ICT, care, activities, staff, food and nutrition, management, cleanliness, safeguarding as well as value for money.

Liz Scoular, Director, Banana Moon Hatton, said: “Banana Moon Hatton – the staff, children and parents – are so excited to have received the Top 20 Nursery Award from Day Nurseries for the third year in a row.

"It is always so special to be recognised.

"To win this Award too in what has been a challenging year for us all is really appreciated as well.

"Thank you to our parents for their continued support and positive feedback about Banana Moon Hatton.

"I would also like to say a huge personal thank you to the whole staff team at Banana Moon Hatton who everyday provide fantastic and fun opportunities for all the children and have ensured that all our children are safe whilst at nursery. Thank you team."

Amanda Hopkins, reviews manager of daynurseries.co.uk, said: “We would like to congratulate Banana Moon Day Nursery Hatton on being rated by parents as a top nursery in the West Midlands.

"Being chosen as one of the best nurseries by family and carers of children that attend the setting is a huge achievement.

“This year has been a huge challenge for nurseries, many of whom were offering childcare to vulnerable and keyworker children during lockdown and have now opened up fully, giving parents and children that vital return to ‘normality’.

“We hope these awards will boost the spirits of nursery staff and give parents valuable guidance in choosing the right nursery for their child.

“Reviews of our Top 20 nurseries show these settings stimulate and nurture children, enhancing their social and emotional well-being as well as their learning.”

The daynurseries.co.uk awards are being sponsored by software company Child Paths, which produces interactive software for childcare settings and schools.
