Back to School Update – No Appointments This Year

This back-to-school season, we will no longer be running appointments and instead will be serving customers on a first-come, first-served basis during our regular opening hours.

We know some of you liked the appointment system and we truly appreciate that feedback. However, we also received quite a few complaints from people who weren’t aware of the booking system and missed out, so we’re trialling a more open approach to see what works best for everyone moving forward.

If your child would benefit from a quieter environment, please feel free to contact us and we’ll do our best to arrange an appointment outside of normal hours.

Some of our items can also be purchased online via our website: Ruckleys – online.shopify.
Alternatively, if you know what you need, you can call us on (01446) 700006 or 07957 312 624 to pay over the phone and collect at your convenience.

You can also drop us a text with your requirements, and we’ll aim to respond to every customer at the close of business each day.

. You’re At The Heart Of Everything We Do

Ruckleys is THE place to go for prams, toys and gifts, children’s clothing, christening wear, outfits for pageboys, flower girls, and bridesmaids, Reborn dolls, workwear, accessories, children’s shoes, and school uniforms.

Our founder Faye Ruckley set up our store in Holton Road, Barry, after having her own children.

She says: “I love interacting with customers – helping people find the perfect wedding outfit, the right nursery furniture, and baby clothes which will make their little one look a picture.

“We also love meeting our customers’ babies and children!

“For brides, we are happy to organise out-of-hours appointments at the store so they can make their choice in comfort – with their mums, sisters, aunts, and friends. We’re also open seven days a week.

“It’s an honour to be part of the most important moments in their lives.

“At Ruckleys, we take that very seriously. We work hard to ensure our customers get exactly what they need.

“If a dress needs an alteration, we’re happy to arrange it. If someone is looking for the right pram, we’ll help them make that choice and get the best fit for their family.

“We have customers who came to us as brides who come back when they have their children for baby clothes and prams, then children’s clothing, and school uniforms. We must be doing something right!”

Ruckleys is also able to offer its top quality items at reasonable prices – allowing us to give our customers great value for money.
