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.

Thank you so much for this very positive review. We do try to stand out above the other local nurseries by providing a safe, loving and stimulating atmosphere, to prepare children for their school days.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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!

I and my husband cannot speak more highly of Snuggles. After our daughter's nursery had to unfortunately suddenly close, we had to find alternative nursery placement on short notice. The manager allowed us to come down that same evening and made all three of us feel welcome from the very start. Everyone
has been so welcoming and really helped her settle in. She was able to do this very quickly due to the warm, friendly and stimulating environment that forms the foundation of the nursery.
She loves being at nursery and has made lots of friends with both the other children and the staff. The regular updates and photos of what she has been doing during the day is great.
As a parent, they have been brilliant at accommodating changing work schedules with notice, and we hugely trust all the staff employed.
Thank you to you all!

I honestly can’t recommend Snuggles enough! I was very nervous going back to work after spending every day with my son for just over a year and they put me straight at ease! The staff are so lovely and you can tell my son loves them! The effort they put into providing the children with plenty to do
is amazing and I love that they have little day trips out. It’s great knowing my son isn’t just getting looking after but he’s learning from such a young age of under 2! They provide lots of information on how your child is getting on so you don’t feel like you’re missing out as much in work. We have had to phone in last minute a few times for our son to get looked after and we really appreciate how they’ve been more than accommodating to get us sorted. They’re a brilliant wee nursery and I’m so so happy we found them!

I never thought I’d find somewhere that would show my baby girl the love and affection that she gets at home, but Snuggles Day Nursery proved me wrong. My daughter was welcomed with open arms, the staff are amazing, not only do they treat my daughter like family, they treat me like part of that family
too. My daughter has become a social butterfly since starting the nursery and she is so happy and content and to me, that means the world. The staff are so attentive and from the moment you walk in the doors you know that your child is going to have a day full of fun and adventure. I know in my heart that choosing Snuggles was the best decision I made, not only for my daughter but myself.

I am absolutely in love with Snuggles Day Nursery! When we moved from overseas, finding safe, friendly, and stimulating daycare for my son was both a priority and concern. As soon as my husband and I visited Snuggles, we immediately knew we had found the right place. The staff are so friendly, welcoming,
and professional that the nursery feels just like home. Our son thrives at Snuggles and is always happy when we get there - he can’t wait to crack on playing with his toys and the other children. The staff give him lots of care and attention which he loves. As well as the quality of the care, I would also highlight the excellent administration of the nursery, everything runs very smoothly and communication is excellent. Snuggles is such a friendly, happy nursery, and I am delighted to recommend it to any prospective parent!

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.217)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.217) out of 10 for Snuggles Day Nursery Bangor is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 out of 5 from 7 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.857 for Snuggles Day Nursery Bangor is calculated as follows: ( (73 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 84 Ratings = 4.857

  • b) 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 4.36 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Snuggles Day Nursery Bangor is based on 7 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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 = 3.7

    • ii) 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 53 number of registered child places is 10.6. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 10.6 = 0.66

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
