Is a welcoming and pleasant place and my daughter loves it, hard to get her home some days she's having so much fun. She really enjoyed their make-believe type of toys and they have an abundance of them as well as reading books.

My grandson has been at Clearly Kids Bangor Nursery since he was 9 months old. He is now 6. The whole staff team are very welcoming and nothing is ever too much. The building is bright and spacious with plenty to keep the children entertained and busy. The food provided is of good quality and the fact
that they can cater for different dietary needs is excellent. My grandson enjoys his time there and can't wait to tell me what he has been doing when I pick him up.

Excellent all-around care provided by the management and team at Clearly Kids.
Plenty of information on policies/child well-being which is important to parents.
My child is picked up from school and enjoys his time in after school which, from his perspective, is what matters most to us.
Wouldn't
hesitate to recommend it. Many thanks to the manager and the team.

We are extremely happy with the service and care provided by all staff we have encountered within Clearly Kids. It is evident they care for my son, which helps me feel safe and secure leaving him in their care.
They listen and act upon my wishes for my child while in the daycare and offer advice when
appropriate. He is very happy, so we are very happy. I cannot thank them enough.

My little boy is thriving at this nursery. I couldn't speak enough about how amazing the staff are at clearly kids in Bangor.
They really take the time to get to know parents and children and what works best for them. The app is great for updates throughout the day and nice to see what they get up
to. You get what you pay for. Good quality food, care and staff 10/10.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Great nursery with a lovely atmosphere. Both of my children have thrived under the care of the staff here, right through from the baby room to the afterschool group. All the staff are attentive, kind and genuinely care about the children. Any time I've mentioned potential issues with my children's behaviour
or development, the staff have helped identify any issues and used their wealth of experience to help alleviate any problems and offered solutions.
They do a huge range of activities and the facilities are some of the best we've seen. Would not hesitate to recommend it and couldn't imagine having sent my kids anywhere else.

An amazing nursery with brilliant staff. I recommend this nursery to all new mothers I know. I've had both my sons at this nursery and couldn't fault it at all.
They get fed really well and the indoor and outdoor playtime is great also!
Thanks so much.

My child has been attending Clearly Kids for three years, he is very well-settled and has loved each room from his childcare journey.
The staff are fantastic and always approachable. The manager has been a huge support when I have had any questions or concerns.

The girls in the afterschool room are really amazing! They go above and beyond to make the parents feel valued and more importantly they are so inclusive of the children! They ensure every child is treated the same, and the managers are so patient and supportive of the children. Highly recommend the
nursery, the food is great, the staff are so friendly and the facilities are always kept to a high standard!

From the moment you walk through the door you know it is such a welcoming and safe environment. Every staff member greets you and your child, even if you don't them. The staff that support our daughter are exceptional and so attentive, our daughter cannot wait to go to nursery and see her friends, which
includes the staff and never looks back when you drop her off.
The activities that the kids are involved in from such a young age are fantastic and we can definitely see the benefit of this in our daughter's development.
We are delighted that we picked Clearly Kids Bangor for our daughter and would highly recommend it.

I don't think there are enough words to show my appreciation. The staff at Clearly Kids are amazing. My son is in the toddler room. The ladies always went above and beyond. My son has autism. The girls got to know him and they are so good to him. The nursery manager is amazing! Her door is always open,
nothing is too much and always willing to help. Recently we have been on a journey of understanding and accepting his diagnosis, but the manager has always told me what I needed to hear. 10/10 for Clearly Kids!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has attended since 2022. The staff in every room that she has progressed to, have welcomed her fully and have made each transition seamless. The updates we receive via the app are thorough and detailed. Every day is filled with different, fun activities, and my daughter is always surprising
me with how much new stuff she has learned (and how many different foods she's eaten)! Staff will take kids for outdoor play every day (unless weather is dangerously bad!). She absolutely loves the nursery and thinks of the staff as her friends, which makes it so easy to drop her off and know that she is happy and well looked after when I am at work. The managers do a great job of running the nursery, knowing everything that is going on, actively taking an interest in the children and helping out in the rooms as well. Every member of staff (including the chef and drivers) have always been pleasant & professional. I couldn't recommend Clearly Kids Day Nursery Bangor enough!

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Clearly Kids have been outstanding for us in the days & weeks in the run up to our daughter starting right through to the end of our daughter's first month of settling in. They've made all of us feel welcome & worked with us during a difficult transition for our daughter into a new positive routine
whilst maintaining the comfort of her normal routine.
From day one, their expertise have helped her adjust & settle in to daily life at the nursery which has been such a relief to us as parents - including her naps & meals.
We look forward to watching her come on leaps and bounds as she starts to gain her confidence in her new surroundings.
Thank you to the whole team!

My son has come on leads and bounds since he started Clearly Day Nurseries (Bangor). He's currently in the babies room and every single staff member goes above and beyond. I have no worries about him in their care as I know he's well looked after and loved by all the staff. I would a 100% recommend
this nursery to anybody.
Forever thankful for all the staff at clearly day nurseries.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little baby girl started Clearly Kids Day Nursery Bangor back in August! The nursery was recommended by staff I work with and I can see why they were so highly regarded!
Since starting, I cannot thank the staff enough! They have helped my little one settle in so well. I love seeing all the updates
and pictures the girls always send me.
The staff in the baby room are amazing! I know they take the time to play, talk and ensure my little one is happy everyday she is there!
I love that I can go to work knowing that she is safe, well cared for and loved!
The staff are professional, caring and so supportive and loving to all the children I see in their care! It is obvious to see how well the nursery is managed.
I would highly recommend sending any child to Clearly Kids Bangor!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both my children attend Clearly Kids and have done so for over 3 years and from day one we have loved it, both our children have grown have thrived in their setting and it's mainly because of the staff, each and every staff member my children have been in contact with have loved them and it's because
it's clear the culture in there is family those staff members have clearly loved my kids and it shows, it's hard enough having to leave my children in a daycare setting to go off to work but worrying about them and feeling guilty about it is a thing of the past because I know the staff there are giving my children as much love as I would. I can't fault the team from management to the school drivers and the chef who wrote me recipes for my son when he was going through a fussy stage so if anyone is looking to leave their child in a daycare setting clearly kids in Bangor is without a doubt the best place to care for your children I couldn't be without them and their support.

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.
