Clearly Kids, Lisburn is situated just off the M1 roundabout, with its location being perfect for commuting parents. Set on the banks of the Lagan, it is also close to nature unlike many other city locations. Heavy investment has been put into refurbishment to make sure that facilities are the best possible for safeguarding children.

The nursery accommodates children aged from 3 months to 5 years. Children are able to safely enjoy the outdoor play area, that overlooks the River Lagan with an wonderful view of ducks and ducklings.

The team invite you to book an appointment to visit the nursery and find out more about what they can offer your child.

I would 1000% recommend this nursery to any parent/guardian!
He has been full time here since he was under a year old and honestly the staff members who have cared for my son feel like more like family members as their help and support has contributed to my sons development immensely. They have been
a big support to me as a parent also. From potty training, crafts, weekly themes, well balanced meals and snacks and encouraging my child to be helpful, polite and kind. I will be sad the day he has to leave.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We couldn't be happier with this nursery. From the very beginning, the staff have been incredibly caring, patient, and attentive. Our daughter found the transition quite difficult at first, but the team went above and beyond to support her settling in. They took the time to understand her needs, reassure
her, and build her confidence at her own pace, which made such a difference.


Now, she absolutely loves going to nursery. It's clear that the staff genuinely care about the children and their wellbeing, and that gives us real peace of mind as parents.


We're so grateful for the kindness and dedication. We would highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a safe and happy place for their child.

Our son simply loves going to nursery each day - and it makes it all the easier leaving him in! Every day he goes in without a care, happy to see the staff and his friends. The staff go above and beyond to look after our son, and his development is testament to that. I really feel he gets great care,
and the variation in day to day activities helps keep him entertained. We're really happy we chose this nursery.

The staff in Preschool 2 have all been fantastic since our daughter moved rooms in November 2025. She has really started to thrive and her confidence is improving every week. They provide a range of fun activities, lots of arts and crafts, dancing, movement and a wonderful playful environment. Thank
you for all you do - we appreciate it very much!

My daughter goes to clearly kids in Lisburn. She has settled in well and I have found all the staff exceptionally loving and caring. My daughter sometimes talks about her nursery practitioners being people she really likes. I feel my daughter is getting a good all round care in a safe environment. We
get daily updates about her in the app and when we come pick her up at the end of the day.

Our little one was upset at going in. The wonderful girls came over to her and talked to her and got her to settle. They took her hand and led her to play with the toys.
All the staff in this Nursery are so warm and welcoming. So pleasant.
I would recommend this nursery to anyone who looking to
start their little ones in Daycare.

We've had such a positive experience with this nursery. The staff are kind, patient and truly caring. They really helped my son settle in so well, which meant so much to me as a parent. He feels comfortable and happy there, and I can see how much effort they put into supporting each child individually.
I'm very grateful for the support they've given our family

My kids have went here for years but recently it has went downhill. Problems with staff numbers, requesting to pick kids up early and closing rooms due to shortages. Has lost the family feel that it had when I joined years ago.

Review from V S (Mother of Child) published on 9 February 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
We have generally been very happy with the nursery. The staff are warm, caring and clearly invested in the children, and the facilities and activities provided are engaging and age-appropriate. Our children enjoy attending and feel settled and supported.
One area we have found slightly confusing is
staffing within one of our kid's room. There have been periods where staffing levels appear stretched, and we've noticed a relatively high turnover of staff in a short space of time. While this hasn't changed our overall positive experience, we feel it's something worth mentioning as consistency is so important for young children.
Overall, we value the care our children receive and hope this feedback is helpful.

Clearly Kids is run as a business, the management are not receptive or responsive to concerns raised about children, in particular with regards to safeguarding. They do not discuss concerns with you and their responses are hostile and do not investigate the issues raised. In our experience (4 years)
the children are not given individual care or attention and the failure stems from management level. I had to remove my child after a series of serious incidents over a period of time. Very poor and disappointing.

Clearly kids Has been brilliant every month but as his first December here it was more than could ask for from the activities the crafts and thought that went into his days there,when your child runs into nursery and doesn't look back you know they are in the best place and reassured they are having
the best time while I'm at work , and being able to take him when there was a emergency at home on his usual day off meant so much biggest thankyou to all who care for him and for the fun he has everyday he is in

The staff at Clearly Kids Day Care are incredibly warm and welcoming. They've made my son feel right at home and have created a loving environment. We as a family are impressed with the quality they provide. My son has been introduced to a variety of play and has maintained their routine seamlessly.
The management team is very professional and involved. They take a genuine interest in the children and are always ready to help out. We appreciate their hard work and kindness.

My son started in September 2024 and is very delayed with his learning and speech. When he started he also ate very little at home. The staff and management have been amazing with him, they have so much time and patience for him and me. He now eats loads of different foods and has started saying a few
words. The staff are amazing at understanding his needs and what he wants and seeing how he is around them when he goes in shows me how good they are with him. I honestly can't be more thankful for everything they do. Amazing nursery with amazing staff.

Our child absolutely loves attending nursery - each morning he enters, all the staff know him by name. They say hello and he is full of smiles - he has no hesitation being handed over to the staff and loves to go each day. We are so happy he is so settled here.

My grandson has settled in really well and has learnt so much. I'm so glad they have a few stairs and ramp, it has taught my grandson how to go down stairs on his own and off the sofa on his own, it's amazing the way he has come out of himself. I highly recommend this nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.622)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.622) out of 10 for Clearly Kids, Lisburn is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 20 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 4.696 for Clearly Kids, Lisburn is calculated as follows: ( (216 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) + (6 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 263 Ratings = 4.696
  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 4.926 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Clearly Kids, Lisburn is based on 20 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 108 number of registered child places is 21.6. 20 Positive Reviews ÷ 21.6 = 0.926
  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.
