After school provision is great and my child is thoroughly enjoying the summer scheme for the school holidays. Nothing is ever too much bother for the staff and there is lots of communication about what's happening at nursery.

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.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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 =)

Review from Maria W (Mother of Child) published on 18 May 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
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.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

My daughter has done her week of settling in and the staff were amazing with her. The manager is brilliant at explaining everything to do with the nursery and was brilliant with my daughter and reassuring me. I can't recommend this nursery enough, there is so much for the children to do and the nursery
is very open inside which was great when checking to see if my daughter had settled. The staff really were amazing and my daughter left happy I can't wait for her to start now.

Overall I'm really happy with the staff and nursery. Knowing that my child is happy makes going to work so much easier. The nursery is always warm and inviting and the staff are very approachable. Always plenty going on and I enjoy seeing photos of my sons day.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From my first contact with the staff at Clearly Kids I knew this was the place for my children. The open day proved we had made the right choice. The attention to detail at the premises inside and out is 2nd to none.
The staff are all so lovely and caring. They love them like their own. The activities
they do on a daily basis are fantastic. My kids love the nursery and have transitioned extremely well. I feel confident leaving them there knowing they are well taken care of. I can't fault Clearly Kids!!

I have two daughters at Clearly Kids and I could not be happier with the staff and the facilities. My girls love this place so much it takes me 15 minutes to get them out the door, that's how much they love it. The staff are very friendly and welcoming, I know my children are being cared for to the
highest standard and I cannot recommend this nursery enough.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.969)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.969) 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 5.0 out of 5 from 40 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 40 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 4.969 for Clearly Kids Day Nursery Bangor is calculated as follows: ( (463 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 478 Ratings = 4.969
  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 40 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 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 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 40 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.
