Day Nurseries Owned by Little Rays in County Antrim

The only reason she's leaving is because she's starting secondary school-otherwise she'd never want to leave! She will miss everyone so much, and so will I. Thank you for everything you've done. We couldn't recommend Little Rays highly enough.

Sending our eldest daughter to Little Rays is genuinely the greatest thing that we have done for her. She began little rays in Lisburn when she was 11 months old and I was returning to work. Knowing she was cared for and nurtured everyday in such a loving environment, made my return to work a lot easier. She has developed so much, she immediately began crawling after having hip dysplasia, she then began walking, the words began coming, and she grew into the most loving, smart, caring little girl. I know little Rays played a massive part in this and I know we will be forever grateful. We are now looking forward to our youngest child beginning her Little Rays journey.

Our son has flourished in the pre-school room with the guidance and support of the staff. He started the year as a quiet toddler and over the year has become confident in his speech and conversations and is ready to transition into P1thanks to the support and attention given by staff

Our little girl has absolutely blossomed in confidence, speech, and independence since starting here.

Excellent nursery that has all children in their best interests. All staff are friendly & understanding and very patient with the children. Frequest updates provided throughout the day via the app and the lunches and snacks provided are great (my wee one loves them).

Since my son started at Little Rays, he has absolutely blossomed. His development has come on so much, and every day he seems to learn something new. He is very fond of the staff and often talks about them at home, sharing what he has learned, the fun he has had, and the friendships he has made. He genuinely loves going in each day and there are never any tears-only excitement and happiness. The food provided is excellent, and knowing that he is happy, well cared for, and thriving gives me complete peace of mind. I couldn't be more grateful for the positive impact Little Rays has had on him.

His face lights up when he sees the girls who care for him. The way he reaches for them without hesitation. The way he settles so easily into their arms. That kind of trust can't be taught - it's built through genuine love and care, and they give that so freely.

My Daughter attended Little Rays from the age of one and will be staying until she moves to primary school in September. The care, education, play and of course the food she has received since she joined has been amazing. I would have no hesitation in recommending Little Rays to anyone.

My son has been at Little Rays since 8 months old and now 3yrs old. The staff are fantastic, taking the utmost care with the children and supporting thier development at every stage and take the time to chat about how my childs day has been, they are so accomodating and understanding. The environment is clean and spacious with great outdoor facilites for play all maintained to excellent standards by the caretaker. They provide fresh onsite cooked meals & snacks which is great. Through the app I am fully informed throughout the day of what my child is doing getting photos and advised on what he has ate etc, the communication is great. I have no hesitation in recommending Little Rays Ballymena to any parent it really is fantatic.

Very engaging staff & culture. Kids really enjoyed going. Activities are great, challenging & keep the kids entertained at all times. The staff have a great relationship with the kids & families. Would recommend Little Rays to others.

I'm very happy with everything this nursery provides. My twin daughters are currently attending and love it. The staff is very friendly and everything is there. The meals are very varied and they love what they eat. Everything is perfect and I recommend it to everyone.

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.

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. Managers are very respectful and friendly, reply very quickly to all queries. My daughter enjoys every single day spending in the nursery.

Absolutely amazing nursery! The staff are out of this world, they give so much love and care to our son! He has been going from 6 months old and loves going to nursery everyday. I have always felt he has been in the best care possible, I get so many photos throughout the day of the fun activities he has been doing!

The staff are all incredibly lovely, warm, approachable and genuinely caring!

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.

Absolutely amazing staff! They always have a smile on their face and are fantastic with my little girl! She loves going into nursery in the mornings,no tears she just skips in and looks forward to seeing everyone!The staff are great at sending fotos of her during the day(which i look forward to seeing)showing what great activities she has been doing!! I would highly recommend Little Rays!!!

My daughter has attended Little Rays since she was 9 months old and now attends pre-school. It is like one big family. I have always been happy with the care and i love that everyone knows my childs name. She is happy going and the communication from staff is excellent. The food is amazing too and my daughter always talks about it.

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.

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
