Links Childcare Clontarf

My little girl Maggie, now 2 years old, joined Sarah and the team when she was 5 1/2 months and her baby sister Eve is soon to follow her. Links Clontarf is a lot more than childcare, it’s a home away from home. I really wouldn’t have my girls anywhere else. When we first started using Links Clontarf we traveled far everyday passing many other providers and it was worth it to obtain the standard of care we wanted for our child. Before choosing Links Clontarf I met with the large majority of childcare providers from Dublin 9, D3, D1, D2 to say I was extremely picky is an understatement ! The moment I met Sarah I knew I had found the perfect place. It was a great comfort for me when I was going back to work to know Maggie was happy going in everyday. Sarah and the team are incredibly supportive and willing to discuss any needs you may have. The level of professionalism and care is outstanding. Sarah clearly carefully picks her staff as each and every one of the team are a joy to engage with and their passion for the children they mind is clear to see both on their smiles and how happy every child is to see them. I have never had a morning that Maggie didn’t want to go in to crèche or a collection where she wasn’t beaming with joy. The team clearly care a lot for the children. Fresh healthy meals are prepared every day I only wish Maggie liked my food as much !! I cannot recommend Links Clontarf enough it is simply miles ahead of other childcare providers.

Lovely well run creche with great staff who really love the kids. Our daughter loves it here and we feel very secure that she’s well taken care of and kept busy and entertained all day. The menus are great too so we know she’s eating good nutritious food.

The staff is very friendly and helpful. My son spends all day in the creche and I am not worried cause I know he is in safe hands. It’s good to see him happy when he goes to creche and same when I pick him up and tells me about his day.

They have a nice outside playing area and daily activities. My son loves Yoga and his random daily responsibilities like door holder, garden inspector, etc.

I have nothing but good things to say about Links Clontarf and the team, my son is having everyday fun with lots of learning.

My daughter has been in Links Clontarf for nearly 3 years starting in the baby room and now in pre school with lovely educators along the way, each perfect for her age and development. Cody definitely brought out her fun side! All the staff and manager Sarah have been especially attentive during this challenging time to make working parents life easier knowing our child is in good care. I would recommend this creche to any parent looking for somewhere that takes good care of their little one.

I can only speak superlatives about Links Clontarf and all the staff.
Education is very much child centred, and I see it on my boy’s development ( He is 4 years old now. )
Our son has attended different Creches before, and there is a very big difference in what we have experienced since we changed to Links Clontarf. It is more outstanding than any other creches he attended previously.

I am Hospital Consultant, well aware of child welfare.
Links Clontarf’s staff have their standards to the maximum.

In Links Clontarf we have NOT experienced significant turnover of teachers as in other places.
All teachers are very caring and dedicated, and I can see the sizeable improvement of my sons development in the last year since he started in Links Clontarf.

My son now displays significant development in speech, improved behaviour, better colouring , counting and writing skills, and lots of interests he picked up from his teachers, since he started there. (Like interest in fishing, which Grandpa will adore, thank you Ray! )

Thank you all, Sarah, Ray, Ana and Javier,
You are the best !

Links has a very friendly staff who are fantastic with the children. Every time I drop off or collect my son there is a sense of fun and smiles all round.
My son puts an smile in his face every time we ask about the meals in the creche. He loves pizza Friday!
We could not find a better creche to our son. We feel that he is in a good place with much care.

My daughter attended Links Blackrock for over a year. With MUCH deliberation and hesitation I have moved her to a new creche (ONLY because we moved house) as there was not a day she wasn’t happy to go in and always came out at the end of the day with a big smile on her face.
The staff are very friendly, energetic and caring and I felt very comfortable having my daughter in their care.
I would especially like to mention the creche manager Clara Brennan who I found very personable, supportive, and always had time to talk to me about my daughter. It was obvious she knew my daughter well, her personality and her needs.

I cannot give enough praise to Links blackrock. Isak started four years ago and Lukas almost two years ago. Links have been so supportive and always put the children first, both my children loves being there and never any hesitation going in. The only reason we are leaving is because we’re relocating. The staff is always so helpful and lovable and the children have such great connection with them all, they have learnt so much during these years. I think that one of the reasons that everything is working so well is because it is very well managed, so professional and personal. It is not easy leaving your children in someone else’s care but I have always known they are in such safe hands. We can’t thank you enough for this time. Maria & Jimmy

Our little boy has been in Links Blackrock since he was 9 months old. He is turning 3 next month. We could not be happier with the care he has received. Every day he bounces in to crèche delighted to see his carers/minders and leaves every afternoon with a big smile on his face. Clara, Belin and the whole team are exceptional with the children and from a parents point of view they couldn’t be more helpful, professional and personable. We have a smart, confident, sociable little boy and we have no doubt that is down to his experience here. I would not hesitate in recommending Links Blackrock.

My child has been in Links Blackrock for just over a year, and they love it there. I am very confident that they are well looked after by the educarers, and my child is so happy going in every day. The educarers do a great job, and it seems to be a very well run facility with a debrief on your childs day provided at the end of each day, and plenty of time given by the creche management to answer any questions that you might have or provide updates on your childs development. The meals and snacks provided are very nutritious, and the cirriculum is good and varied with lots of time and fesh air in the secure garden and playground when the weather allows.
The pod system put in place in response to Covid also seems to work really well and minimises risks.

Our son has attended Links Blackrock for the last six months and we couldn’t be happier with the care. There isn’t a moment’s hesitation when he is dropped off in the morning and it is all smiles at collection time.

The staff are terrific – always relaxed but very diligent and you’re never in doubt as to how well they know the kids and how interested they are in their development.

I can only assume the food is really good as I can’t remember a single day where our son didn’t eat everything (which isn’t guaranteed at home).

Generally seems a really well-managed and well-operated facility. Communication is faultless also.

Keep up the excellent work!

Our son has been at Links Blackrock for seven months now and we have nothing but good things to report.

Esther, Clara and all of the staff that we’ve met have been amazing, big smiles and welcomes every morning. Our 2 year old runs in without a backwards glance in the mornings and has to have a chat and blow kisses to everyone on the way out.

He’s come home with a huge collection of artwork and all sorts of new vocabulary and songs. I’ve never met the chef but kudos to anyone who has my fussy eater going for a third helping of vegetable curry!

Starting creche for the first time mid pandemic was worrying but we’ve been so happy with how Links Blackrock have operated, their staff are an absolute credit to them.
