Clearly Kids is a warm and welcoming nursery. My son has been with Clearly Kids from a baby and he absolutely loves it. The staff go beyond to make your child’s journey that extra bit special. The nursery itself is modern and clean.

A fantastic nursery that provides outstanding care, support, and development for each child. The staff are amazing, kind, and helpful. My daughter has attended from when she was 10 months old. She was hard to settle but the nursery was sympathetic and helpful in getting her settled. The manager is fantastic
and offers great support and advice. Having the right childcare is very important to parents. There has to be a lot of trust in knowing who you hand your precious child over to, will provide the best quality of care for your child during the day and this nursery is outstanding. This allows me to go to work not worrying about my little girl through the day. It also has a very clean and professional setting with great toys and structure.

This is a home away from home. As a parent who works full time, the nursery staff and care delivered are super important as my kids are there nearly 40 hours a week. I can honestly say the team here go out of their way to make sure (even on a bad day) some level of comfort is received at all times.
The office door is always open for parents to vent/ connect/ ask questions. I am grateful my kids have attentive teachers and access to a large play area for outdoor activities every day. The lunch menu is super healthy as well. Amazing chef. I’m glad now with restrictions easing as I think the activities from external providers or “field trips” were missing from the curriculum. I also wish there was more artwork/ crafts coming home- something I do see improving as they get older. But the care and cuddles are endless so I would highly recommend.

I can’t speak highly enough of Clearly Kids Day Nursery Bangor! The manager and her team always go above and beyond for not just the kids but for the whole family! They provide excellent care and my boys are always so excited to get in the car on “nursery days”. Throughout Covid their dedication and
support have been outstanding, they even came in on their days off to allow the kids to have a socially distant Christmas Party to let them have some bit of normal in a crazy time! I can honestly say after a difficult year I don’t know what we would have done without them!

My little one has been going to Clearly Kids Day Nursery Bangor since he was 8 months, all the staff have been wonderful and nothing is too much trouble for them. They have been amazing in regards to things like allergies and daily medications and he obviously likes the food because he eats like a horse
in nursery and is picky at home. During a tough year, the place has been like a home from home for my little one, I can't recommend them more highly.

This is my second child attending Clearly Kids. She is in the Toddler Room and absolutely loves it. She comes home with so much excitement and is always full of new fun games which she has played at nursery. The staff are so caring and friendly and really take great care with the children. I would have
no problems recommending Clearly to anyone considering putting their child into a nursery.

The nursery staff have been fantastic in helping my 2 year old daughter to settle back into nursery following lockdown. She has been very unsettled going in each morning but the toddler room staff have been on hand to help ease her in. The manager as always is so helpful and accommodating to personal
circumstances. Thank you to all at Clearly Kids Bangor!

We now have 2 children at Clearly Kids and would recommend it all day long. All the staff genuinely care so much for the kids, they share in their joy and feel for their pain. The nursery presence throughout lockdown really had to be commended and all measures upon reopening have been fantastic. Clearly
is very much part of our family now.

Clearly Kids is a great nursery. My son has been going there since he was six months old. He is three now and absolutely loves it there. The staff are all very friendly, helpful and professional and are very good at putting the kids at ease. He has learnt so much there and made a lot of friends. I'd
recommend the place to anyone.

Clearly Kids Day Nursery in Bangor is simply outstanding. The care they provided to my son is beyond all expectations. They have a nurturing, fun and warm way of dealing with the children. My son thrived at Clearly Kids and most days when we picked him up at the end of the day he didn't want to leave.
He was obviously very comfortable and happy to be there. I would recommend this daycare to any parent. The staff just make the place.

My niece's and nephew go to Clearly Kids. They have always enjoyed their time there. I have never heard anything negative about the nursery. My in-laws have always been very positive and have highly recommended the nursery to me. I am in fact hoping to send my son there when my maternity leave ends.

I could not be happier with the level of care and nurturing my two children receive from the amazing staff at Clearly Kids. It is a pleasure to drop them off and pick them up and see their huge smiles. I go to work knowing my children will not only be well-taken care off but also they will be played
with and will eat well and will be safe. The girls and drivers and chef and management are top quality!

My child went to Clearly Kids from the age of 18 months until he left in September 2018 for preschool.
I can't say enough amazing things about this nursery. The staff were amazing when my child first started. They put us both at ease, reassured me that I could phone at any time to check to see if
my child had settled down.
Throughout all the rooms the staff were professional and always caring to my child and I felt always confident leaving my child in very capable safe hands!

As a mum, you find it hard to put your trust into someone looking after the most precious thing to you. I can hand on heart say all the staff of Clearly Kids make leaving your little one extremely easy. They have become a second family to us. All the staff have helped us out greatly with our son's behavioural
issues as well as his ASD diagnosis.
We would be lost without Clearly Kids.

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.
