My daughter has been attending Little Rays in Lisburn since 2022 and absolutely loves it. All the staff are wonderful and always keep me informed on how my child is getting on through the app. I would highly recommend this nursery and I plan on sending my second child here.

Review from Gary K (Father of Child) published on 14 February 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
There aren't enough superlatives for me to say how amazing a place Little Rays Nursery Lisburn is! My daughter has been with them since she was eight months old and she will be seven next week. She has learned and grown so much as she has moved through the different rooms and even went to pre-school here.

The staff are what make this place so special, to a person they are amazing and they go above and beyond for my daughter and indeed every child with them. They are a credit to Little Ray's. A special mention needs to go to one member of staff in particular for her magical chicken curry. I don't think there is a child who has tasted it who doesn't rave about it.

Reply from Ashleigh McCrum, Area Manager at Little Rays Nursery Lisburn

Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words. We are so proud of our dedicated team and their commitment to providing exceptional care. We will be sure to share your praise with the entire team, and we'll pass on your special mention for our chef with the 'magical chicken curry'

My baby always has the best time in the nursery. Whenever we pick him up from the nursery we can see how much he enjoys being there and whenever we drop him off he is all smiley going in which puts our mind at ease as parents.

Staff are all very welcoming and sensitive to child's needs. I like how I can see throughout the day how my child has got on, eaten etc. And if upset which is usually at drop off staff will reassure me that my child has settled and happy.

Both of my sons have attended the preschool in Little Rays Nursery and they have both been so happy. My 4 year old is currently attending and we are so grateful for the genuine care and support he gets. The staff are all amazing and put the children's needs and safety first. They are also excellent at communicating with us through the app and keeping us up to date with photos and information which is also lovely. Thank you!

Review from Sasha C (Mother of Child) published on 9 February 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Highly recommend this nursery. Staff treat my son so well and he gets so excited to go in each day and loves spending time there. There are a great range of activities each day which I can follow on the app and they give us regular updates and photos throughout the day. The food is fresh and cooked on site and great to see opportunities for bonus activities throughout the year such as day trips, fitness classes and surprises like Santa visits or ice cream van visits. Great value but more importantly staff give you great piece of mind that your child is supported and well taken care of.

Reply from Ashleigh McCrum, Area Manager at Little Rays Nursery Lisburn

Thank you for your fantastic review! It's great to hear your son loves coming to Little Rays and enjoys our engaging activities.

Review from Roisin W (Mother of Child) published on 9 February 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter started in Little Rays Nursery in September 2023, she is young in the age group (May birthday) and we were concerned with how she would settle in. With the guidance of the Little Rays staff she has thrived over the past 5 months and loves getting her uniform on and heading into school each day. Little Rays are great at communicating with parents and answering any questions we may have. They provide a full and enriching curriculum to the children and we couldn't be happier with the nursery for our daughter. It will most definitely be our first choice of nursery when our son is of preschool age.

Looking forward to two more years with Little Rays.

Both of my children have attended the preschool within Little Rays and I have to say it is amazing! The staff are fantastic and make sure they meet each children’s individual needs, they support and encourage the children and parents in every way possible. I am so grateful to the staff for everything they do. The facilities are fantastic and they have a great outdoor area for the children. I would recommend Little Rays to all parents.
