Bleach and water will take away any mold, and there is an additive in the the paint section to prevent it from recurring. You will need to get the moisture out. If you don't have a vent fan in the bathroom, put one in. You may also want to consider a dehumidifier for your daughter's room.

Hello
The problem could simply be due to moisture-laden air (the product of living, breathing and washing in any home) condensing on cold ceilings. Dettox mould removal spray then wiping away with a cloth will remove mould, but you need to ventilate and heat the rooms adequately.
Reducing air humidity will also help; don't dry clothes inside by putting them on radiators, don't leave warm water in sinks, bowls or baths any longer than you have to, duct tumble drier exhausts to the outside of the house, use an extractor hood or fan beside your kitchen hob and check that roof space insulation is adequate (but always make sure that the roof space above it is properly ventilated so that no condensation appears on the sarking felt etc.
Finally, Dulux make an excellent anticondensation paint for ceilings - but check all the above factors first.
Best of luck.

You might have an air circulation problem. So cleaning means it will come back. You need to address both. Bathroom we assume moisture but with daughter's room.......is there a moisture issue?
Air circulation could be negative air problem in the home, not enough getting in for the various combustion appliances and stoves: gas appliances for example are using up the oxygen. You need to let in more oxygen, preferable to the furnace. A Skuttle (spelling??) takes air from outside to the furnace and is cheap.
Also increase air circulation......in the bathroom leave the fan on longer. In daughter's room, install a ceiling fan or find a small fan and set it up high, turned on low should be enough. Ideally she should be keeping her bedroom door open as the house is designed for open door air circulation, but I understand children and closed doors.
As for cleaning, there are quite a few mold and mildew cleaners on the market. If you find it has stained even after it is cleaned off, you'll need to paint but first put a sealer layer underneath such as Kilz.

Is your daughter's bedroom next to the bathroom? If so, the mold in her room may be coming from the bathroom. Do you have a fan in there? If not, you may consider installing one to help get rid of the moisture from the bathtub/shower. If you have one, check and make sure it is strong enough by putting a tissue in front of it--if it can hold up the tissue, it's still strong enough. You might want to check to see if it's clogged, anyway. For the existing mold, you need to wipe bleach onto the area--that will kill the mold. If you want to be sure it doesn't come back, then repaint the area, using Kilz as the base paint. Kilz will serve as a barrier to mold.

This has been happening in the house I work in. What we have done is,when having a shower put on expilair fan, and keep window open. After a shower, close window and if you have a heater put it on for a while to dry off the surfaces. The mould is caused by the dampness. Mould should wash off quite easily with a damp cloth with a spray of flash on it.

there is a paint that you can buy at the hardware store called Killer or something like that which basically will cover up and kill some of the mold on walls, but you definitely want to have a professional come out and treat it. Mold in the house can cause health problems.

on both cases what seem s to be the problem is ventilation.in the bathroom ,anyway.in the other room you might have damaged flashings,(the bottom edge of the roof,from the outside)allowing water to get in the wall.you need proper professional advice,as anything you do to clean it,it will be coming back unless you rectify the problem.
