Rascals Day Nursery - Balmoral

Thank you to everyone at Rascal's for giving our son such a wonderful start in life. We'll always be grateful for the care, support and happy memories you've given our family.

Rascals on Lisburn road is fantastic. Have loved having my daughter there and she is coming along so well. The staff are wonderful and have so much patience with the kids. The facilities are great for learning and development and they have lots of fun.

My children are so happy going in to Rascals and they have great fun the days they attend. The staff are so caring and attentive and I never have to worry about them when I am at work. They get fresh air every day and nutritious meals. I would highly recommend Rascals.

The team in Rascals are absolutely fantastic. Our Son started at 9months and he loves it - he gets excited as soon as we walk up to the doors and is always full of smiles for the staff. The staff clearly care a lot about the children. They do a huge variety of activities and this has definitely contributed to his development.

I could not be happier with this nursery. My little girl has been attending for nearly a year and loves it so much. The staff are all so great with the children and the environment feels so personal and homely for them. The food is fantastic and the regular updates are incredible from the team to me via the app. Would recommend to anyone!

Couldn't speak highly enough of the staff and set up in Rascals. Seeing how much our daughter loved going in to see all her friends and the staff always put our mind at ease. They always have brilliant activities and she has really thrived in this environment

My son attended Rascals for only 6 weeks in July and August 2025, and he was not familiar with English. Despite this short time and all the new adjustments, my son absolutely loved it! He was so well taken care of and loved his school and his new teachers. We received wonderful updates every day and could follow everything that was happening. What I really appreciated were all the fun activities, the positive energy of the staff, and the cosy environment. We were truly happy there and already miss Rascals now that we have moved to another place. I highly recommend this nursery school to anyone who has the opportunity to attend! The flexibility and opening hours are excellent, but above all, the knowledge and attitude of the staff are hard to find anywhere else!

My son went to Rascals for a year and loved every minute of it. We only heard amazing story's from him when he would come home ant the end of the day. All the staff took such good care of him and kept us informed with anything that was needed. We have nothing but positive things to say about this nursery and will definitely send our next child here.

Our son started in Rascals as a baby and left the preschool room just before he started P1. He was so well looked after during his time there, the staff helped him grow and develop at every stage with patience and kindness. They knew him inside out and he was so happy to go every day. The activities set out for the children every day were well thought out and so much fun! The manager was so helpful with anything we needed to ask. The nursery is very clean and excellently run. The food offered is varied and healthy while being appealing to the children. Would recommend this nursery to any parent!

We're so grateful to Rascals Balmoral for helping shape our little boy into the amazing person he is today. Thank you to everyone at Rascals!

My little girl has an allergy and I have found the care and communication around this excellent. Recently they both came home with an Easter treat. An allergy friendly option was sent home with my little girl, which meant a lot to us, they are really inclusive.

My twins went to rascals starting before they were one. The building and facilities are very impressive; lots of space for little ones, a variety of nice toys and activities and wonderful outdoor space. The daycare was always clean and there was a chef who made their meals. I'm very satisfied with the care they received. There wasn't the constant turnaround of staff that there appears to be in some day cares and there was a high level of organization I felt informed and also listened to for example, if there was a change in routine I needed staff to implement. After a natural settling in period, the twins ran in and never looked back for me (even though they attended part time). They were happy to be there. Whilst it's pricey, I have no hesitation recommending Rascals.

I had my older son in Rascals, and now the baby is attending it too. Great staff, clean rooms, the baby settled in really quickly. Enjoys staying there and is happy whenever I drop him off. The staff is very kind and responsive to any enquiry. Thank you to the whole team in Rascals!

Keep up the great work!

Staff at Rascals show genuine care for the children and this is apparent every single day.

It was amazing to see how her development came on so quickly after starting at Rascals. Another bonus was the quality of food provided by their own in-house chef - everything was made from scratch. My son now attends and has settled in very well. I'm sure he will enjoy it as much as his sister!

Thank you everyone in Rascals!

My daughter has been at Rascals from 7 months until she turned 3 and she has loved every second all the staff are so caring and we're a big part of her life for so long. They have the best team of ladies and they all work to the highest standards. The building is so homely and inviting and they really make all the children feel like it's a second home couldn't recommend anywhere else.

A massive massive thank you to all the staff that looked after my daughter.

Our first son joined Rascals Day Care at the start of 2022. It was at the tail end of Covid and there was still a lot of government legislation and restrictions in place making this milestone of starting a nursery even more difficult and daunting but from the very first email, the team at Rascal have shown why they are rated 10/10. From the baby room right up to preschool the staff were incredible and really went above and beyond with making every day engaging, fun and safe. They were always so accommodating when it came to us adding an extra day when an emergency popped up etc. We now have another son at nursery stage and the experience has been just as positive with him. Highly recommend 10/10!
