My 15 month old son is very happy with all carers. All educarers are very nice and have a great communication with kids. Creche manager Antoinette works hard to settle everything down within the new building. New building and the patio is very nice. We’re very happy with them.
Dear Whom It May Concern,
My partner and I are sharing a recommendation for the Links Blackrock Team who have been minding our daughter for nearly a year, who started in Wobbler one and is now in Wobbler two.
Returning back to work and running my own business was a very busy transition for me and I could not have done this without the help of the incredible team of Clara, Belen, Joanne and all the team at Links Blackrock creche.
Each day the Links team have shown reliability, positivity, and professionalism. They have fun activities, fresh food and a lovely environment. We feel delighted that our daughter is there.
Our daughter’s eyes light up when she goes in everyday and we know she is in the best care.
My partner and I encourage families to send their children to Links as they have the best interest in their children and it feels like a home-from-home for all there.
My son started in Links Childcare in the Links 3 years ago. He was very shy and quiet but thanks to the wonderful staff at this creche he has developed incredibly well. The attention they gave him was incredible and reassuring to us as parents. Our son was very apprehensive when he joined but now he loves every day he goes.
The management and staff have always been very kind, caring, considerate and professional in everything they do with the children. Its very reassuring for us as parents and we are very happy to have chosen the links childcare for our son and to see his development every year which we hope sets him up well for school this September.

My little boy started in wobbler room in January of this year and was very much a covid baby. The care he has received is second to none and his development has come on in leaps and bounds! His educarers are so kind and caring and look after him so very well, he adores them!! Highly recommended to any prospective parents!!

Couldn’t recommend the childcare enough both kids attended here and all the staff always went above and beyond. Managers are superb also of both the crèche and Montessori. The kids always so happy thanks for minding them so well

My son, who is now turning 3 has been attending crèche at the Links in Blackrock for almost one year now. I cannot speak highly enough or give a more heartfelt account of how much the carers meant to me, my partner and especially to our son. It was with the biggest upset that we decided to leave as we move to the West for our jobs and new home. It broke my heart to tell the staff as it was clear each day, just how happy and content our son was there. He absolutely thrived in the year that he was there, with the great facilities, the kids are out virtually non-stop each day with their pals and in winter, you physically cannot find enough wall space to put up all the arts and crafts they bring home each day.
The kitchen staff and food are outstanding! Everything made from scratch, with the kitchen on site for all the kids to see the chefs at work from early morning. Which gives a real community and homely feel, despite the facilities being big.
If we could’ve taken the crèche with us, we would have done so! Our son loved his time there! Thank you especially to the amazingly dedicated manager Clara and the heart and care from head staff member Belin for their endless commitment, comfort and love to our entire family. We will miss you!

Would highly recommend Links Clontarf to anyone in need of childcare. It is such a positive environment. So full of fun and laughter. The staff are so caring and friendly and always do anything they can to support you with your child and their individual needs. I’m so happy with my choice.

My daughter is in the preschool class at Links Leopardstown and it has all around been a wonderful experience for us! She was very shy and slow to open up in the beginning and her teacher was amazing with her, and really helped her feel comfortable. She loves it now!
In addition, my daughter has some health issues and dietary restrictions, and Links have been wonderful about making sure those are followed and she still gets to have lunch with the other children.
The staff genuinely care about and respect the children. Highly recommended!

I would like to say that XX very much enjoyed (and is still enjoying) being in Links Citywest, and I always trusted in the good care provided by the staff.
I can’t point out every teacher that she had (too numerous over the last 4 years), but XX is very fond of the last ones Almudena and Raoul as she was of Nicole, Aldara, Laura, Karen or Melisa.
And I would like to say that Sonja and Maria (as well as Antoinette, before she moved to Blanchardstown facility) are doing an excellent job in dealing with children and parents.

Highly recommend. An outstanding service with fantastic staff members and management. My daughter has been attending Links Balbriggan from baby room to preschool. There is a class curriculum for each age group with a focus on child lead learning and encouraging social skills through the support of the caregivers. The caregivers in Links Balbriggan always go above and beyond to ensure the children are learning in a fun, relaxed supportive environment. The management and staff are also very supportive of parents and are always open should you want/need to speak with them. Regular updates and newsletters are issued to keep parents informed. There is an on-site chef to prepare fresh meals, using fresh ingredients are provided daily and ensure all nutritional needs are exceeded. The staff in Balbriggan are exceptional, lead by Elma the crèche manager and Marbella the deputy whom are doing a fantastic job- a great team all round in Balbriggan’s Links!!

My little boy started in Links Portmarnock when he was 11 months old. He has loved his time in Links Portmarnock and we are so grateful for all the 7 years of teaching and caring that the Links crèche has provided, so it’s sad day for us but I feel that he is ready to move on after 7 years. Thank you to all the carers and managers they really have helped shape him into the happy and kind little man he is today.
It will be strange not to be part of the Links family but we have loved the time with you. Chef Conor’s dinners and brown bread will be missed 🙂

There are not enough positive things I can say here to reflect the amazing work that all the staff at Links Leopardstown do.
From the friendly wave from the chef every morning to the smiles on every face greeting us at the front door. It’s such a relief to know you are dropping your children to such a caring environment.
My 2 children absolutely love going in everyday and with such a crazy 18+ months of covid, the team have kept us informed and at ease every step of the way.
Thanks for all you do 🙂

Antoinette and the team have been brilliant since day one with both our kids. They love going in everyday. They staff are so caring and attentive.

I want to take this opportunity to say how great the team in Leopardstown has been with my two boys, they loved going in everyday and some evenings didnt want to leave. All the staff have been fantastic I want to give a special shout out to Antoinette who always had a smile on her face and made me feel sane at times when I was doubting myself. The safety measures in place made it feel like a safe space during a really hard 18 months of the pandemic. I feel really sad taking them out as they have made great friends and loved it so much; if Leopardstown is ever in a position to provide after school care I’d happily send the boys back in a heartbeat.

My kids started there when it opened in March. They had been in a small creche since they were very small and I was nervous about the change. They are now 3 and 4 years old. They are really enjoying Links. Due to Covid restrictions as per all creches, parents dont have access inside the facility or have interactions with the carers in their room but the manager and deputy manager are really lovely and fill me in on what they ate and what activities they did every day. The food is fresh and made from scratch onsite. The creche is purpose built, lovely and bright and airy and there is a nice outdoor area for the kids to play. Overall I’m very happy with our choice.

My youngest has just finished in Links and she is going to miss Ray and Michelle and all her little pals. I have been really happy with Links overall. The care is excellent and the educarers put so much effort into all the activities they do with the kids. The variety of food was super, cooked fresh daily. I would have no hesitation recommending LINKS Leopardstown.
