Clearly Kids nursery, based in Bangor’s Toscana Park is like an extension to our family home. As a parent of a very special little girl, it fills me with joy to leave her off to this wonderful group of fun and loving leaders and equally. I cannot wait to pick her up at the end of a day, simply because
I love to hear about all the wonderful and educationally appropriate activities she has been taking part in all day.
Not only am I thrilled that my little girl is in such perfect hands, both at a managerial and hands-on level but I know I have made the perfect choice of nursery when I discover myself learning from the nursery and repeating these activities and routines at home. Never did I imagine that I would trust anyone with my child in the way that I trust the staff of Clearly Kids.

Clearly Kids Day Nursery Bangor is a very friendly and accommodating to our needs. We moved our daughter from a nursery she attended for two years to this one. I was worried about her settling in as she would cry every morning at the last nursery. To my surprise, our daughter has not only settled she
is happy and she would rush into her room herself without looking back. In my opinion, moving to Clearly Kids Day Nursery Bangor was the best decision we've made for our daughter. Her speech and confidence have come along in leaps and bounds. I cannot recommend Clearly Kids highly enough.

Clearly Kids Day Nursery Bognor was the first nursery that we attended when viewing places for our daughter to attend. We visited the majority of nurseries in our area and we did not get the same loving family feel that Clearly Kids Day Nursery Bognor had provided. Two months and on and we firmly believe
we made the correct choice. Our daughter is showing steady progress which Clearly Kids can take credit for and has also made my daughter's mother return to work a smooth transition to know she is so well looked after.

No regrets sending my son to this nursery, close to home and work. The environment, in general, is excellent. Staff are all very kind, caring, trustworthy, and competent. They make you have peace of mind going to work leaving your child to them. We can't thank them enough, they are highly recommended.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I made the decision to put my daughter in the nursery at 9 months old when I started back to work, which is not an easy decision for any parent to make, but Clearly Kids Nursery Bangor has made me feel so at ease. They really took the time and patience needed to make my daughter feel at ease when she
first started spending the much-needed one on one time with her while giving her space to meet other children and play. The staff are really caring and loving people.
The manager is so helpful around my flexible work pattern and really tries to accommodate us whenever she can, I could not ask for any better.
I could not recommend this place anymore!

Both our children are very happy in Clearly Kids. The staff are professional, friendly and caring and the facilities are excellent.
When we collect our children they are full of smiles and stories about what they got up to through the day.
We would have no hesitation recommending this nursery to others.

Clearly Kids Bangor is a brilliant nursery, the staff are hardworking and do so much with the children. The nursery has brilliant out door play and the kids are always kept busy. Meals are very healthy. They facilitate for school drop off and pick ups which is brilliant. Any problems you can easily
pick up the phone and speak to a member of staff who are always here to help. Overall brilliant nursery from start to finish.

I was very anxious returning to work and leaving my son after a year's maternity. The staff at Clearly Kids made me feel very welcome and kept good communication with myself and husband regarding how our son was settling in. The staff are very caring and our son was happy to be left with them. Clearly
Kids offer a great range of activities and is bright, clean and has a happy environment.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Clearly kids is quite simply amazing. My son has been attending for 9 weeks now and loves it, even wants to go to "my new school" on weekends! The staff are all very friendly and approachable and the rooms are brilliantly planned out and very tidy. I love that all the rooms have their own access to
the outside areas, with both segregated and shared areas that let the different age groups get the most out of the play areas, but also allow them to intergrate with younger/older kids as well. Fantastic food as well from breakfasts and lunches to snacks, with an emphasis on healthy but tasty, with lots of variety! Well set up to cater for a range of allergies and dietary requirements! Best of all is the giant fish tank in the foyer. Love it!

My child is settling well into the nursery. I am impressed by the structure, routine and management of the day nursery. The outdoor space, and frequency of use of outdoor space, is exactly what my child needs. It appears that the nursery is catering for his physical, emotional and developmental needs
very well. He is stimulated and challenged on a daily basis and comes home every day shattered! I love the approach to learning and development and partnership with parents.

All the staff are so welcoming and friendly. My son has autism and since starting in October 2016 he has made great progress. The manager is very professional and makes you feel very welcome. All the girls have been very patient and supportive in settling him in. Having looked at several other
nurseries I knew I had made the right choice. The nursery itself it great, very bright with great facilities, especially the outdoor play area which my son loves! All the children seem so happy and you can leave your child knowing that they are safe and being well cared for.


I would highly recommend Clearly kids to anyone.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
After moving my twins to this nursery after attending another nursery for over a year, I was quite hesitant if they would settle in ok. After the first half day settling in, my boys loved it and never looked back. Every day I was asked if they could go to 'new nursery mummy'. We are so glad we moved,
the change in their behaviour and even little things like just leaving them off has been a complete turnaround. The staff are amazing, so calm and relaxed. The management are also lovely and very approachable. I'd definitely recommend Clearly Kids.

My son has been going to this nursery for just under 3 weeks and to say I am happy with it is an understatement. He wakes up every day excited to go in, and is upset on the weekends when he is off! The girls are so friendly and professional. The nursery itself is lovely, clean and the facilities including
the enclosed gardens are fantastic. I couldn't be happier with it. It is more affordable than other nurseries he has attended in the past, yet it is 10 times better.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Absolutely love this Nursery, my son has been attending Clearly Kids from April 2016 and I have had nothing but good vibes from the place since I viewed it. Staff are all excellent and easy to talk to and get on with. My little boy has had the pleasure of starting Nursery being in the baby room, then
Wooblers and now Toodlers, this has given him the chance to meet all the staff and feel comfortable but also reaching each milestone along the way. Every day when collecting my son, the staff have recorded what he has done in the day from what he has eaten to toileting needs and activities he has done throughout the day, very rarely my son doesn't eat all his meals in nursery as the meal plan is varied and its something different most days. My little boy loves the place and he never goes in and leaves without giving hugs and kisses to any staff he can get his hands on. I would 100% recommend clearly kids to my family and friends and I feel confident while I'm at work my son is safe and well.

My child has been going this nursery for 4 months. I checked out loads of nurseries around Bangor and this one stood out a lot. My child settled in straight away and its great value for money. The managers always squeeze my child in when my shifts change and work with me.
Recommend this nursery to
anyone. Staff are all 10/10 and very understanding, welcoming and friendly.

I can't praise Clearly Kids enough for the care they give my son. The change from the day I put him into Clearly Kids is amazing, he has really grown into a confident little boy and has learnt so much in the few months he has been there.


There is never any worry when I leave him in the morning as

I know he is happy, safe and the Clearly Kids team are amazing with him. The best thing i've ever done for my son is put him into Clearly Kids.

The nursery is very bright and welcoming. The staff is all friendly and helpful. My kids have settled in well and look forward to going. The nursery is very good at accommodating extra sessions at short notice which is perfect for working parents when schools are closed. The kids enjoy the out door
play area and playing with their new friends. I would definitely recommend Clearly Kids Day Nursery to friends and family.

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.
