My 2 children age 1 & 2 go to the daycare once a week. They really love it and I wish I could afford to send them more. Staff are great with the kids and keep me well updated on their day. They do lots of fun activities with them and they are well looked after. Would definitely recommend

Little Rays Nursery Ballymena

from Assumpta M (Mother of Child) published on 2 May 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

Little Rays Nursery Ballymena

from Sarah M (Mother of Child) published on 2 May 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
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.

Little Rays Nursery Ballymena

from S C (Father of Child) published on 2 May 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our child has been attending Little Rays since he was 10 months old. He is now 3 and has been in a number of different rooms.


The staff have been friendly, caring and our child never has a bad word to say about them. We have recently had another child and we had no hesistation in reserving them

a place for when my wife returns to work.


They were very supportive when our child was potty training and we credit the speed at which they potty trained in part to Little Rays.


Multiple updates are provided throughout the day and activities are varied and well planned. Food is also varied and our child eats well.

I can't say enough great things about Little Rays Nursery, Ballymena. The staff are incredibly warm, nurturing, and attentive to each child's needs. From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed and reassured that our son would be in a safe and loving environment.
The activities are well-planned,
engaging, and help children learn through play. The facilities are clean, well-maintained, and equipped with everything needed for a fun and educational experience. We've seen such amazing growth in our son's confidence, social skills, and development since joining.
Communication is excellent, with regular updates and photos through the app, which really help put our minds at ease. It's clear that the team genuinely cares about every child, and we are so grateful to have found such a wonderful nursery. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a nurturing and enriching place for their children.

My child has recently started to attend little rays within the last 6 months and I have really enjoyed seeing them bond with the staff.
My child used to fight me going in, but now they go to the staff & take their hand.
I'm sent regular photos throughout the day which I absolutely love and the fact
I can communicate with the room via the app is great
I've seen improvements in my child's abilities and speech since attending little rays & just from my own experience would recommend it to others.
Thank you all for the hard work & effort you put in to provide an excellent level of care

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has attended Little Rays for close to 3 years. She has been looked after in almost every room during that time. The level of care given to her has been exceptional throughout this time. The planning of activities is amazing, most notably in the searchers/seekers room. Themed days/weeks,
outside activities and so much more! The room leaders care so much about the children - special mention to two members of staff in particular! My daughter come home talking about her leaders and friends every day. All information is shared on the app, which allows me to feel up to date about my daughter's day. I would highly recommend Little Rays to anyone, because i have no doubt they will be well cared for.

Our kids have been at Little Rays Nursery Moira for over 4 years and we can't rate the nursery highly enough. The staff are wonderful with the kids, nothing is too much trouble and the staff have such a fantastic relationship with the children. The environment is so supportive of their development and
they have such fun everyday. There has been lots of NICSS information to navigate and they have been great at communicating and supporting parents through this.
