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.
Thank you so much for sharing such a heartfelt review. Hearing about your daughter's incredible journey means so much to our team! We are very excited to welcome your youngest daughter to Little Rays to begin her own journey with us!
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
Thank you so much for this lovely review! We are incredibly proud of how much your son has flourished and grown in confidence - helping our children feel ready and excited for P1 is such an important milestone! We wish him the very best of luck on his big adventure into P1!
The daily communication and photos give us total peace of mind, and the nutritious meals are brilliant.
Our little girl has absolutely blossomed in confidence, speech, and independence since starting here.
Thank you so much for this wonderful review! Hearing that choosing Little Rays is the best decision you've made means the world to us. Creating a warm, family environment and providing that peace of mind for you is exactly what we strive for!
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).
Thank you so much for the lovely review! Ensuring the children's best interests are at the heart of everything we do is our top priority!
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.
Thank you so much for this lovely review! We are so proud to have been part of your daughters early years. We appreciate your wonderful recommendation and trusting Little Rays!

Thank you so much for the kind words! Building a strong, supportive culture for our kids and families is at the heart of what we do at Little Rays. We appreciate the recommendation!
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!
Thank you so much for this lovely review! We know how important peace of mind is for parents and our team pours their hearts into making this happen! Seeing him excited to come in every day is the best compliment we could receive!
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.
Thank you so much for your kind words! Our team takes great pride in being there for our families, and it means the world to know that their support and compassion have made a difference for you!!

I would highly recommend Little Rays!!!
We are thrilled to hear that your little girl skips into nursery! Thank you for the recommendation!
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.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are so touched by your kind words.
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.
Thank 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!
Little Rays staff are kind, child centered and encouraging. There is always a great range of activities, brilliant food and snacks and great outdoor play and trips in the school holidays.
My kids love attending Little Rays after school room and always have a great time!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It means so much to us that your children have enjoyed so many years at Little Rays! We really appreciate your kind words!
All staff are a credit to the nursery and delivery optimum care to my son.
The nursery it's-self is kept to high standards of cleanliness as well as a fun place for the children.
Thank you so much for your kind review! We're delighted to hear your son has had such a positive experience since joining us in January. We're very proud of our dedicated team and will be sure to pass on your review!
Constantly keeps parents up to date on the app with pictures and updates on what food they're eating, how long the child naps for and what activities the child is doing accompanied with pictures.

My son loves Little Rays Nursery Lisburn, all staff are very caring and friendly. They always bring new things to explore where kids can learn while playing. My son loves the food too. I highly recommend them.
Thank you so much! We're thrilled your son enjoys his time with us at Little Rays.
Wonderful nursery and preschool. My son has been attending for a number of years now. All the staff are so friendly and lots of activities for the kids. He loved the Amazon jungle show last week. All the visits out and external visitors in give such a variety.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're delighted to hear your son is enjoying his time at Little Rays and we appreciate your long-term support!
We started in Feb 25 - and I cannot rate them enough - as a first time Mum i was worried about leaving my child off at first, but they all put you at ease and the app is fantastic. Everyone keeps you updated on the day, and my little girl absolutely loves all the girls. Her social skills have improved so much in the last month and I cant thank them enough!
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're thrilled to hear that you and your daughter have had such a positive experience since joining us in February. We understand the worries of a first-time mum and are so glad our team could put you at ease!
I can't speak highly enough of Little Rays, Queensway. My daughter has attended now for 3 years, since she was 2. The staff are warm, caring and professional. I have such peace of mind knowing that my little one is so well cared for - she looks forward to going every day and has made some wonderful friendships. We feel so lucky to have found Little Rays!
We're absolutely delighted to have been a part of your daughter's journey for the past three years. We truly appreciate your kind words and we are so glad our team can help care for and nurture your daughter!
I love that they have the children outdoors throughout the day where possible. They are quick to send updates where needed
