Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Cannot praise staff highly enough for their leadership, kindness, helpfulness , empathy and encouragement over the past 3 years. Each and every one are very special to my grandson who loves them very much. He always talks about them and the fun he has had each day after I pick him up. He has learnt
so much from them which will help him greatly as he goes to school.
Reply from Ashleigh McCrum, Area Manager at Little Rays Nursery BallymenaThank you so much for your lovely review! We are absolutely thrilled to hear how much your grandson has enjoyed his time with us over the last three years!!

Great and very polite staff! Very attentive to all kids' needs. Flexible with additional requests (urgent late collection kids). Plenty of games and activities, clean and cosy premise.

Little Rays Nursery Ballymena

from Danielle T (Mother of Child) published on 19 March 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We've been absolutely delighted with Little Rays Nursery since our daughter Saoirse started. Before nursery, she was very reluctant to go to anyone else, would get easily upset or overwhelmed in open space's, and struggled around other people. We were nervous about how she'd settle, but the transformation
has been incredible!
Since starting Saoirse has grown in a many wonderful ways. She's now genuinely content and happy, she actually looks forward to going to nursery each day and gets excited about it. She's starting to interact more with others, building those important social skills.Her confidence is blooming, and it's heartwarming to see her thrive in such a nurturing environment.
The communication is outstanding, we receive several lovely photos and updates daily,showing exactly what she's been up to. These glimpses are so reassuring and bring big smiles, especially seeing how settled and engaged she is.
The staff are all incredibly lovely, warm, approachable and genuinely caring!
Reply from Ashleigh McCrum, Area Manager at Little Rays Nursery BallymenaThank you so much for your beautiful words and sharing your daughters story! We appreciate your kind words about our team and communication. We know how much those daily updates mean to parents, and we love sharing those "big smile" moments with you!

The staff in Little Rays are the best. Their communication with me throughout the day when my son is in creche is fantastic. I have seen such a change in my son and he loves to go there. We hope to get a place in the pre school next year as his confidence just continues to grow. The whole team of
staff are so friendly and helpful, and they have been very supportive of our family as we have another child with additional needs. There compassion has been so appreciated by me as a mum, especially on days I am struggling! Thank you.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our two girls have been in littlerays from ten weeks old starting off in the baby room and our oldest is five coming this summer - we couldn't recommend littlerays enough because of the staff! The kids talk about staff members in the loveliest way. The app is brilliant for us to keep up to date on our
kids and look at pictures of them during the day, communication is excellent and the skills our kids have picked up from learning throughout littlerays still shocks us! We love that our kids are always in a room with kids/babies of similar age and stage of development, from nappies and baby chat to the big girl toilet and play dates. We will never be ready for the last day of littlerays.
Reply from Ashleigh McCrum, Area Manager at Little Rays Nursery BallymenaThank you so much for your beautiful review and for being part of the Little Rays family for the past five years! It's lovely to know your children speak so fondly of our team!

Both of my children have went here since they were babies and I cannot recommend it enough! We were originally with an independent minder of which we had a horrible experience and moved to little rays. I never in my life thought I'd be comfortable leaving my kids with someone again but from the moment
we left our son I felt totally at ease. They have taught them so much and they are so sociable. The staff are also so friendly. We genuinely have never had a bad word to say about one of them! I couldn't recommend this place enough x

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
All of my children have attended Little Rays dating back to 2013. Although i no longer work as close as i did it is worth going the extra few miles out because the care is exceptional. The girls are all amazing, Kathy makes the best food - curry is a particular favorite. They do so much with the children
too educationally, with art and color activities and lots of sensory based play. It is important to also add my children have also had additional needs both dietary requirements and otherwise and the attention and care given to this is exceptional.
Reply from Ashleigh McCrum, Area Manager at Little Rays Nursery LisburnThank you so much for your heartwarming review! It has been a privilege watching your family grow with us! I'll be sure to pass your kind words along to the whole team, and I'll make sure Cathy knows her curry is still a fan favorite!

I am extremely happy with this nursery and the care my child receives. He has been attending for almost a year now, Monday to Friday, and he is very well taken care of at all times. The staff are professional, caring, and genuinely lovely, which gives me great peace of mind as a parent.
I can clearly
see how much my child is progressing-both socially and developmentally-and it's wonderful to see how happy and comfortable he is there. I'm very grateful to the whole team for the fantastic job they do and would highly recommend this nursery to other parents.

As a first time mum, very nervous of leaving their child in nursery, I have to say Little Rays Moira have been fantastic. They are so responsive, friendly and in the space of a few weeks my daughter now is so excited to go in each day. You can see the genuine care the staff have for the children and
the level of detail/photos you get on the app is so reassuring throughout the day. The food is brilliant and my daughter who refused everything at the start now eats everything (also so good in relation to her food allergies).
Reply from Ashleigh McCrum, Area Manager at Little Rays Nursery MoiraThank you so much for sharing your experience! We know how daunting those first few weeks can be for a new mum, so we are thrilled to hear that your daughter has settled in so well and now arrives with excitement.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have three children who have all attended Little Rays with one now in p1 and a 3 year old and 1 year old still there. I have had experience of all rooms and staff in Little Rays over the past 5 years and there is a reason I keep choosing Little Rays year after year. The activities and learning that
takes place here in a fun and child friendly way is incredible. Play is at the heart of the children's day and the staff, in my opinion, go above and beyond what is expected. Over the years I have bumped into staff outside the nursery setting and I have had family members comment on how my children interact with the staff as if they are my child's family. They do so much to make the Little Rays experience the best it can be. There is so much packed into the day and there are fantastic food items on the menu which is great to know the kids are being well fed. I have a child who is DF and GF and they are catered for. I have always found the staff respectful of my wishes as a parent.

I would highly recommend Little Ray's. Our son loves going to nursery - he runs in without looking back! The staff are warm and caring and he clearly loves them from hearing him speak about them at home. The meals are nutritious and varied with a good balance of treats and healthy food. The outdoor
play areas are spacious and safe with plenty of toys and bikes. The range of activities is great, with arts and crafts and the children helping to prepare their own treats for baking. The children learn about wildlife and about the seasons, to name just a couple of things that our son talks about. Communication from staff is great - they'll always respond quickly to messages via the app and will be happy to make time to speak in person at pick up or drop off.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have two children in Little Rays and the fact that they both are so eager to go each day is enough confirmation for me that it is a great nursery.
The staff are so warm and friendly and I can see how fond they are of the children and vice versa (my oldest frequently refers to them as his friends).
I
love getting to see the updates on the app throughout the day and to hear what they have been up to. I can visibly see how being at Little Rays helps my children with their social interactions and their development.
I have and will continue to recommend Little Rays to anyone. It is such a big deal for a parent to hand their children's care over to someone else but I know with Little Rays that I have nothing to worry about.
