The most amazing nursey, with amazing staff that make my child feel safe and happy. They always go above and beyond for anything, really help with learning activities to help with child development, and my child loves every minute going. Cannot recommend enough!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been attending Clearly Kids in the baby room for four months now and we absolutely love it. She loves going in each day and doesn't give us a second thought! We get great picture updates of all the fun she is having during the day and a detailed report on collection of everything she
has done that day. It has helped her development in every way, and all of the girls take such a genuine interest in her. We can tell how much they all care about her and how much she loves them. We couldn't imagine trusting our little girl to any other daycare.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Hands down this is the best place for my wee man. 4 girls in the baby's room are equally great and lovely and give excellent care to my son. I can’t thank them enough. It was a tough time getting him to settle into the nursery but the girls did a fantastic job and made the process very smooth. He loves
going into nursery now and he misses nursery a lot during weekends. They do quite a lot of activities with them and it was great to see how they do from updates in the app. My wee one improved in every aspect since he started nursery thanks to the amazing staff. Food selection is great too and they have a variety of food so kids get more exposure. Both nursery managers are doing an excellent job and I guess they know very well about each and every child in here. Can’t recommend enough! They are the best!

Review from Grace S (Mother of Child) published on 2 February 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our little boy started here in January. From the first moment we viewed the nursery in the summer, we, as anxious parents, knew it was the right place for him. We were greeted warmly by all staff members who took the time to chat with us and our son and had time to answer all our questions and queries.
Clearly, Kids felt different from all the other facilities we viewed and decided to send our little boy here was easy. Our little boy has settled in so well and all of the girls in the Baby Room are fantastic. Communication has been excellent and nothing is too much trouble. They have gone out of their way to get to know him and all his likes and dislikes. Each of the girls has a real passion for their job. We are so happy we chose Kids.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I couldn't recommend Clearly Kids enough. My little boy has been with them for over six months, he took ages to settle in and the girls in the Babies room couldn't do enough to make it work. We extended his settling in period, did more half days then full days. I was kept in the loop and up to date
through the whole process. My little boy has allergies and was so well accommodated for, he would never have felt left out or excluded. I love that there is an app and I am able to get an insight in to his day with pictures and updates. My eldest went to a different nursery school, and I am so delighted we made the change to Clearly Kids as the staff, resources and management are incredible!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I decided to send my child to this nursery as I had heard great reviews from friends with children there. My daughter is very clingy to me so I thought it would of been hard for us both, the girls in the wobbler room completely put me at ease and send me regular updates of her throughout the day, the
transition for her was a lot easier than I thought and she absolutely loves going! The girls go above and beyond to make sure she’s happy. Would highly recommend.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have our baby in this childcare facility and initially chose it because of the manager. We absolutely loved the fact she really took time out of her day to talk to two overly anxious parents about their baby starting daycare. Since then, the staff is the reason we stay. Our baby is so well taken
care of, has come on in leaps and bounds and their curiosity encouraged. To us, they are our extended family!

I would definitely recommend this day nursery, my little boy was here for a a couple of months, all members of staff have been absolutely amazing with him and supportive in regards to current circumstances, I have been kept up to date with how he was during the day and the activities he was doing, which
he completely enjoyed as they were different each time, his speech etc. has came on a lot from being around the other children. I really hope to put him in again in the future.

Review from Sylvia P (Grandmother of Child) published on 20 April 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Four of my grandchildren attend this nursery and have done for many years. The kids absolutely love going and when I call to collect them at 4 pm they are usually outside playing and do not want me to collect them which is praise indeed to the staff. The staff are always professional, helpful, understanding
and knowledgeable. I can honestly say when P7 ends there will be a few sad faces. The management team are very helpful and willing to accommodate both parent and children’s needs. How they manage to organise daily drop off/pickups for everyone at different schools and at different times is a credit to their management skills. I just love this nursery and I know both my sons go to work knowing their children are in a safe and happy place. Big thank you to everyone at Bangor Clearly Kids - you are all amazing.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff at Clearly Kids Day Nursery Bangor are our village. Our little family wouldn’t function without them. Both daughters enjoy their days at clearly very much. The staff are knowledgeable and caring. They are child centred and led. The staff are a fantastic resource for parents having seen it
all before. Management are angels, they have been more than accommodating during our joyful time of adding a new little human to the family. The kids are always very well fed, with meals that make me jealous. The activities are age appropriate, educational and enjoyable. The kids are doted on with little gifts at Christmas etc and the artwork is always such an honour to receive as parents. I couldn’t recommend a more brilliant daycare.

My grandson always comes to visit from nursery with plenty of stories to tell me about his day along with an array of artwork from drawings to paintings and glitter. He loves going to clearly and enjoys showing me his photographs that have been taken on the app of him from the room. He is very tired
after a busy day and usually not hungry either after having plenty to eat while at nursery. Highly recommended.

My son has been attending this nursery since he was about 4months old. The staff here are so friendly and make the nursery a home from home for the children. The nursery is divided up into age-appropriate rooms with lots of toys and activities to keep the little ones busy.
I would highly recommend

I have two children who both attended the baby room. The staff made the transition so easy for both babies and me, for going back to work. All the staff and management were so approachable. Most important both children really enjoyed their time in the baby room and we have lovely keepsakes the babies
did while in the room. Highly recommended.

My little girl started at the beginning of January after leaving a nursery she was at previously and we as parents have noticed a massive difference in her positively. The staff are great and the updates including images you are sent are a great way of seeing how your children are getting on. The meals
and snacks they get are brilliant and they are well-stimulated.
cannot fault anything.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I can't speak highly enough of the folks at Clearly Kids Day Nursery. Our son has been through the baby room, into the wobbler room, and is about to move into the toddler room, and he loves it there! The staff are absolutely amazing, it's great to see how caring they are, knowing that our boy is in
good hands.
On top of that, they are so great with 'developmental steps' and really nice modern things that put your mind at ease that your child is progressing well at the right speed.
The app they use for communication is great, and I love getting wee pics of him playing throughout the day.
The management team are also great, they are always available to answer my dumb first-time dad questions and put on great events that really help as a parent.
Also, the food they serve sounds amazing, I am always jealous when I get the rundown about what our son has eaten for the day!
We are expecting another soon and will 100% be signing him up for Clearly Kids when he's old enough.

Couldn't be happier. Little one moved rooms a few months ago. Was tough for her to start but the staff were great at managing the process. They continue to provide professional care for my daughter and I also know she's safe and well looked after when there. Great job all around.

Had a brilliant experience at Clearly Kids Day Nursery. I was a nervous mum leaving my daughter and was concerned about her settling in at daycare. The ladies made it a very smooth and easy transition for my daughter and myself! The place is so well-run with so many resources. The outdoor space is brilliant
and well equipped. Every staff member is a credit to the daycare!

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.
