Review from A M (Mother of Child) published on 16 March 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We started Snuggles in November 22, and from the beginning, our son has been welcomed to the Snuggles family. Every staff member is enthusiastic and approachable. They look after our child’s needs with utmost professionalism and care. Our son has food allergies, and these are catered for without any difficulties or differences that would be noticeable to anyone who did not know. I cannot express how happy we are to have found this nursery.

Reply from Bobbi McCullough, Manager at Snuggles Day Nursery Bangor

Thank you so much for your kind words; it is very much appreciated! The staff work hard to adapt to every child's individual needs here at Snuggles, and it is very important to us that you feel safe, secure and at ease with your little one in our care.

I have had the best experience with Snuggles and all the team there. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. The encouragement my picky eater has received has made a huge difference. The girls make the kids feel like they are in a home-from-home. I couldn't ask for a better bunch for my daughter to be around

Overall Experience

Over the years we have had our son in different childcare facilities, but Snuggles are by far the best. I couldn’t recommend this nursery highly enough! A loving, positive environment for the children, and from a parent's perspective, dealing with friendly, down to earth people. They really do go the extra mile in terms of activities, crafts and outings. Absolutely fantastic for anyone looking for childcare in the Bangor area.

Overall Experience

My 16-month-old son has been at Snuggles for 3-months. I had an experience of another nursery with my daughter, and there is no comparison. The staff at Snuggles are child-focused, loving and attentive, giving my son the very best care while I am at work. They are interested in his development and reinforce positive behaviours very much like at home. I am delighted with the range of food they offer, which he enjoys and eats all of. Very pleased!

Review from Siân M (Mother of Child) published on 17 November 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We were anxious when leaving our 12-month-old in daycare following lockdown, but we needn't have worried. The assistants in the baby room are fantastic and are so attentive. We get constant updates throughout the day and lots of pictures to see what he is getting up to. Seeing him happy and interacting with other children puts us instantly at ease. The staff are all so friendly, and we can tell they genuinely care about all the babies and are building relationships. We have no hesitations in recommending Snuggles to friends.

Reply from Susanne Nixon, Manager at Snuggles Day Nursery Bangor

Thank you for your lovely review, Sian! The staff here at Snuggles are very committed to their roles and go above and beyond to ensure every child is happy and secure from day one.

Overall Experience

Where do I start? This day nursery is amazing! The staff are like a second family to my children, never mind me! They are always so welcoming and friendly, and nothing is ever too much trouble for any of them. My daughter used to struggle to go in, and now, she walks in and doesn't look back. my son loves going here too, and it's all they talk about to each other! I will most definitely be sending my baby when I return to work. They are forever doing bits and pieces with the children, and they never run out of ideas. Thank you for all you do, Snuggles!

Review from Lyndsay T (Mother of Child) published on 6 July 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Snuggles Day Nursery Bangor is amazing, from day 1, my little boy has loved it. The settling in period really put my mind at ease after being at home for a year on maternity leave during Covid. The staff are so friendly and look after my little one just like one of their own. He loves going in and always gives them cuddles.

They do so many activities and I love getting all his wee crafts home. The online website that lets you see how your child is doing during the day is fabulous. I love being able to check in and see his smiling face during the day and what he’s been up to. I would recommend it to anyone looking for childcare in Bangor.

Review from Emily S (Mother of Child) published on 6 July 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter started going to the baby room at the beginning of May; she settled in so quickly and now absolutely loves going to Snuggles. It’s so evident from how keen she is to go in in the morning, the photos sent to us via the app and from all the chat she comes home with. The staff take such good care of her and have taught her so much already. I’ve seen my daughter come on so much already in terms of her confidence and development since starting Snuggles, and I would recommend it to everyone!

Reply from Susanne Nixon, Manager at Snuggles Day Nursery Bangor

Thank you so much for your kind words. Your wee daughter has settled in so quickly; she is very happy and content in the baby room. The staff ensure all of our new babies are made welcome and feel secure from the very beginning.
