My child has settled in really well in Clearly Kids Day Nursery Bangor and there's always a smile on his face when I pick him up. I leave him in knowing that he's well cared for and stimulated. I couldn't fault the nursery staff, they do a great job.

Lovely modern building with fantastic outdoor play area. The staff are very friendly and attentive. My daughter quickly bonded with the staff which was a big relief. The kids seem to eat extremely well with a great variety of food. Highly recommend this nursery and I know my daughter will be in safe
hands when she is there. Great for her development.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This is a new nursery for us (but also for Bangor) first impressions last. From the minute I called in to have a look around the Manager was excellent. She was able to answer all my questions and let our son play while we talked. He started September 2016 and immediately settled in. The staff are great,
very friendly and supportive. It always helps when he comes out with a smile on his face, although most days he wants to stay at "school" (as he calls it, as he doesn't want to come home. Which I know then he has had fun. He brings us home art he has done too. I love how modern the nursery is and the big outdoor play area and fish tank are a bonus!

Excellent nursery and extremely friendly staff. A pleasure to send my baby girl to Clearly Kids Nursery, especially when she can't wait to go every morning and gets very excited in the car. This makes it a lot easier to leave her ...

Superb service by all staff! Felt welcome from day one! The attention to detail about every day my son spends there is astounding. Always willing to take a call from us any day we want to check on him. They have made our child settle well with a new routine. Plus the food he is provided is superb and
freshly prepared on site!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son started nursery in September for the first time and I have to say the staff have been amazing helping both him and I settle into our new routine! My little one had a tough time adjusting to me returning to work (as did I!) but the staff really took care of him even tho he had a melt down everything
he went in. They are never annoyed when you ring constantly to check on your child and give brilliant feedback on what your little one does every day. The selection of food is brilliant! Staff always have time to chat about your child and really have helped me cope with leaving him all day. From the moment we walked into the nursery I knew it was the perfect place as the manager took her time to show me around and answer any questions I had (even if they were silly!). All in all, I would definitely recommend this nursery to anyone and when we have more children I would not hesitate to enrol this into the same nursery.

My son started this nursery in April and they made every effort to help him settle in. He loves going here and we get excellent feedback each day he attends. The facilities are great and the selection of food is excellent. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to others. They make every effort
to develop the needs of my son and he has been developing brilliantly since attending.

I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough. The premises are outstanding but it is the staff who make it what it is! They are friendly, approachable and supportive towards me as a parent and my babies adore all of them. They are so happy and content to go to nursery everyday. I couldn't ask for more!

I couldn't recommend this nursery enough. It is housed in a purpose built building that is clean and bright. The staff are professional and caring and I am filled with confidence to leave my child there. My child loves nursery and is such a happy wee person when collected. Food is freshly cooked
on site and nutritiously balanced.

We visited a number of nurseries in North Down after we moved back to Northern Ireland last year. None of the others came close to this one. It was brand new, purpose built, clean, spacious, really well equipped and organised, and the staff are all great. Both our kids love it and it is easy to see
why.

My little boy is 2 and has been at Clearly Kids Nursery in Bangor for 7 months now, and we couldn't be happier with his care. The staff are always on the ball, friendly, approachable and treat the kids like their own. They have a great menu of home made food throughout the day (he eats better for the
nursery than he does for us at home!!) . I am always seeing pieces of art they've done with him, and pictures of all the activities! Would highly recommend =)

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son started the nursery in September 15 when it first opened and it is very clear that he loves it. The nursery is extremely family friendly and encourages all feedback from parents.
All of the staff are welcoming and very caring towards the children. They adapt to each child's needs and wants
and facilitate as much as they can.
The nursery has invited all the children and family to attend a Christmas party and a mad hatters tea party which was a lovely day out and filled with activities for everyone (including a goody bag for all the children).
The overall presentation of the nursery is immaculate and very welcoming. I would highly recommend the nursery.

Clearly Kids is a brilliant nursery. All the staff and management are very friendly and welcoming. My daughter is in the after school room and really enjoys her time at the nursery. There are always plenty of activities for her to do and she loves the playground outside. She has made lots of new friends.
I would definitely recommend the nursery to my friends, family and anyone who asks me about day care.

My son has been at the nursery for two months having moved from a different pre-school setting and I can honestly say he is like a different child. The staff from management right through to their chef have been excellent in supporting his needs and I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough. They
are friendly, informative, helpful and an absolute joy to leave my son with.

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.
