We couldn't be happier with the care at Clearly kids. The staff have been so helpful whilst we have been potty training our little boy, they make the whole process easier. He loves seeing his teachers in the morning and always has a cuddle for them at the end of the day.

The twins have been in Clearly Kids Bangor since they were 9 months old, they are now 9 year old and with no immediate family in the area and mid term break upon us. Without the nursery my husband and myself would have to juggle work to look after the twins.
The kids love their time at nursery and
the little pals they made over the years.
I highly recommend all the staff and their continuing devotion to making a great environment for all the kids.

Best decision back in 2023 was signing my daughter up to Clearly Kids Bangor. Since her being there from 7 months old to even now every carer who has been in the door has been not only well trained but caring to the children. We've never had issues or problems and staff are happy to listen to us if
we need clarity on anything. The team are all great!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son started Clearly Kids when he was 6 months old in the baby room. As any Mummy knows, it was extremely hard to leave him while I went back to work. The ladies in the room were absolutely fantastic and worked hard to ensure he settled in after a few weeks. Over two years later he has moved through
the Wobbler room and is now in the Toddler room. He talks about all the staff in the room all the time like they are family. Nursery has been fantastic for his social skills and he loves all his friends. The experiences and play they organise daily for the children are excellent and he likes the food better at nursery than he does at home! I couldn't recommend Clearly enough. Thank you to Barbara, Zoey and all the team.

I am always made to feel welcome when I come to Clearly Kids; when asking for help or making a suggestion I am always met with listening ears, and a desire to support and help us as parents and care for our children together. It truly feels like a partnership and that we're on the journey together.

The staff are great, very informative, my son always enjoys his time and is well looked after. The nursery has really helped with his development in social skills, speech, drawing and communicating. Daily updates are good on the app as it's difficult to listen when picking your child up.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have had both our boys at Clearly Kids since 2021. It is the most supportive and flexible childcare we could hope for. The kids are so well looked after and the staff know them so well. They are brilliant with both our boys and have given us massive support with our older son's neurodevelopmental
needs above and beyond that of regular reasonable adjustments. Pick-ups and drop-offs at school are a lifesaver for working parents and we know they are safe at all times. This is underpinned by a very low staff turnover meaning our kids build relationships with the staff over prolonged periods. One of the staff has had both of our sons in her preschool room and is the most phenomenal educator.

The nursery is amazing and we feel totally confident sending our daughter. The girls in the baby room have been amazing and go above and beyond to cater to anything she needs including her dietary requirements (as does the chef) Everyone is so lovely and polite and even staff outside of our daughter's
room know her name and say hi to her when they see her!

Clearly Kids and the management team and their staff far surpass regular childcare.
They go way beyond what is expected of them to ensure my child and all the children are kept very safe and happy.
It is like leaving my child off with family.
My sincere thanks to all.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.937)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.937) out of 10 for Clearly Kids Day Nursery Bangor 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 41 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 41 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 4.937 for Clearly Kids Day Nursery Bangor is calculated as follows: ( (461 Excellents x 5) + (27 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 490 Ratings = 4.937
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Clearly Kids Day Nursery Bangor is based on 41 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 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 4
    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 105 number of registered child places is 21, which has been reached with 41 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
