My little girl who is a year and a half loves coming to little rays. The four girls in her room are great and plan so many activities with her, every week on nursery pal she is doing something new baking, messy play etc. I love seeing the pictures of her on nursery pal and it gives me peace of mind when I'm at work that she's okay!! The girls in my daughter's room are friendly, caring and welcoming when I come in in the morning and in the evening they give a quick update on how she has been. When my little girl was sick and going through an operation the girls and management were so supportive and helpful when my other child needed to have extra care. I would recommend little rays to others and appreciate all the hard work the girls put in to make my daughter have a good day.
Thank you so much for this positive review. Little Rays will always try to accommodate families when they need additional support and the staff always aim to be friendly and helpful. They will be delighted to read this lovely review.
My daughter really enjoyed the time at Little Rays. She developed so well, and all I can say is thank you so much to all staff.
Thanks for taking the time to write this review. It’s great to hear you’re happy with the service provided.
The team who care for my son are warm, friendly, caring and professional. The care they provide is excellent and I feel content knowing that my son is being well looked after.
Thanks so much for this lovely review, the team are always trying to provide the best service they can.
My two sons attend Little Rays Nursery and absolutely love it.
Our 3-year-old beams when running in every morning and his development has progressed so much that’s due to all the interaction and activities in Little Rays Nursery.
Both boys adore the staff and we are very happy that they are cared for in a safe and caring environment.
All staff from management to the care staff and support staff are all friendly and interact in a lovely manner with our children.
Would definitely recommend Little Rays Nursery.
It’s lovely to hear that you’re happy with the service provided and we appreciate you taking the time to write such a positive review for us.
Highly recommend. My little girl has been attending since she was seven months old. She has always been very well looked after. The staff are very friendly and attentive.
Thanks so much for taking the time to write such a positive review. The staff are always encouraged when they receive positive feedback.
My little girl has been going to Little Rays since she was 9 months old and is now almost 3. She absolutely loves the place. She has made lots of wee friends and often talks about the girls who look after her.
The kids have so much to do here; from learning to playing, the range of activities is brilliant.
The food on offer is great too and have helped my girl try lots of new things.
I especially love that I can check up on how she's doing throughout the day via the web. It was really reassuring in the early days and I love seeing all the pictures the girls upload.
Can't recommend the place enough.
It’s so lovely to hear that you’re happy with all aspects of the care your daughter receives. It truly is a team effort to provide top quality care and I know the team will appreciate your acknowledgement of this.
I'm taking my youngest son to Little Rays. He got used to the staff in a couple of days and they did everything they could to make him feel welcome. The management was very understanding when I needed to change a day due to employment. The app that I use to see if my boy slept, played or was changed is great as well. I would definitely recommend Little Rays to my friends and/or family.
