Child space in Belfast

“Very friendly, welcoming and professional. Well equipped for children from birth to 16 years. Staff are very experienced, knowledgeable and terrific with kids. The sensory room is unmatched. Upstairs is the Bee Hive - unique charity shop just for kids, with new (with tags), nearly new and pre-loved clothes, toys, games and more. Space to hire for kids parties, mother and baby groups etc. Recommended.”

“Louise has been coming to our nursery for three years now. Each time for Halloween and Christmas . I love how there is a constant flow to the session without stopping and starting. This really keeps the atmosphere going and the children interested. The props are also brilliant and so is the music and movement. We all love it! Thank you.”

“Our child has been at Cabbage Patch for almost 2 years and is now hoping to secure a space within their pre-school programme. The building and grounds are immaculately kept and include parking, soft play and garden areas. The staff are extremely competent, friendly and helpful, with a seemingly endless repertoire of games and educational activities. They have a very slick app that offers regular updates during the day, offering both peace of mind and an insight into what the children are getting up to and how they deal with various challenges. There is no doubt that the people and the routine of attending Cabbage Patch weekly have strongly contributed in the development of the social and learning skills vital to our child's development.”

“My son has been attending the after school club in little gems since September 2015. The girls who work there are absolutely fantastic! The snacks provided by little gems are more than adequate and the children have a lot of choice. They also have the opportunity to complete their homework whilst there making it a lot easier for parents. There is a lot of effort put into the children and it is clear from observation that they are all very happy to be there. I would not want my son to be cared for by any other company. My son has additional needs and these are met by the staff and I am confident that he is looked after well. I am one happy customer !”

“I use the gym on the occasions when I visit northern ireland. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable and it never gets too busy. They have a great crossfit area and ample free weights and deadlift facilities. It is popular with elderly and the young with no posers or weights hogging, I would recommend! my only criticism is that they need soap in the changing rooms!”

“My Dan’s 17th birthday on Monday night in men-cap from heroes”

“One of my friend's recommended booking Loc-down Events for a birthday party. So glad I did all the children had a fantastic time! Thank you Loc-down for a truly magical day! Can't wait to book again!”

“One the best day care centres in North Belfast that's served both sides of the community for many years.”

“Kids love it. Only used soft play so far, but there’s plenty on offer from crazy golf to bowling, soft play & amusements.”

“Great place to do shopping, well thought out department and the follow the arrow system is good.”

“Great space to bring your kids for a play. They have the biggest baby soft play I have ever been to for under 3's and have a good range of traybakes, coffees and snacks for little ones. The sessions timings are 1hr 45minutes and they let everyone know clearly when the session has finished.”

“Love this store staff go and be on for me,I love Hotwheels,the manager is Awsome better than the last one,they had in,if your looking toys try here.”

“The young man helping children down the “big” slide on Saturday was so patient and kind to my daughter, a real asset to the business”

“Very good fast service and people are nice it’s very tidy and has lots of things usually in stock”

“The place reminds me of Woolworth's but much better by far! I had forgotten how good This place was, and will definitely use this store More than I have been.”

“Great toy store I bought a Lego car and got a free Jurassic world Lego set Workers are always in a good mood and always ready to help you”

“Very helpful staff. No waiting on purchase either. Saves a trip into town too so a welcome addition to Forestside”

“Fantastic charity organisation with equipment available such as 3d printers and laser cutters for members. Regularly hosts community events and workshops.”

“The staff here are fantastic. So friendly and evidently take pride in their facility. The location is fantastic and it is great value for money. My son is well looked after and I love seeing the bits of artwork that he does when in nursery. Definite 10 out of 10 in my book.”

“Very professional care for Children. Calm quiet and engaging environment”

“I have been to the Saturday morning 'tiny tots' sessions four times now and my one year old loves it. There is a large, enclosed open plan play area with toys, balloons, balls, role play items, a large sand pit, small soft play area with slide, and a fantastic sensory room with different lights. There is a large seating area with high chairs for feeding. The change facilities/toilets are great, and there is coffee/tea facilities. Everyone we have met there is very friendly, as is the girl who runs it. It is less than a fiver for 75mins, so good value for money. It is a great place for your wee one to socialise and have a run around.”

“Hands down a fantastic nursery and after schools club, the staff are so welcoming and genuinely care for our girls (one went through the nursery and eldest through after schools). Really well priced in comparison to other childcare providers in the area but cost isn't the number one decider for us, its the high standard of care provided, facilities offered and responsiveness to us as parents. wouldn't send our girls anywhere else!”

“Staff are very friendly and accommodating. Great variety of meals and snacks provided. My son always leaves the nursery at the end of the day with a smile on his face.”
