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.
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're thrilled your daughter has enjoyed her time at Little Rays and we look forward to welcoming your second with us too!
Put simply, my child is very happy!
He loves all the staff, who genuinely care about him and his happiness!
They keep us informed on how he is doing, plan excellent activities, take a pragmatic and practical approach to any issues!
The food is excellent too!
Thank you so much for your feedback, we love to hear your child is so happy at Little Rays! We always aim to create a nurturing and supportive environment, and we're delighted that you and your child have had such a positive experience.
The Little Rays Nursery Lisburn are amazing! Both of our children love it and are happy to go to nursery in the mornings. They learn so much, get to do a great variety of activities and love chefs' food! The team are brilliant, they really care about the children, would highly recommend them.
Thank you so much for your kind words, we're delighted to hear that both of your children are thriving at Little Rays! We're proud of our team's dedication and so glad that you and your children benefit from this!
They are fantastic people who have helped our children's development incredibly. Children are so well cared for, and the staff feel like an extension of our family. Great food, great facilities. Would highly recommend it.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are delighted to hear that you feel your children have thrived at Little Rays and that you consider our team an extension of your family.
Fantastic place for both my children to be, they have been there since they were babies and they have enjoyed every minute of it. They love the food, the staff are so friendly to us as parents and so caring to the children, I could not recommend anywhere else.
It means so much to us that you feel your children are well-cared for and that you have had such a positive experience as a family. We strive to create a warm and welcoming environment for all our children and their families, and we are delighted that this has been your experience. Thank you for your kind words.
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.
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.
We're thrilled to hear that your baby is happy at Little Rays. Knowing that the children are enjoying themselves is our top priority. Thank you for your kind words!
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.
We're delighted to hear that your child is happy at Little Rays. Thank you for your positive feedback regarding our team and the open communication we strive to provide.
Great nursery, I have 2 children there and it's like a wee family. The girls know all about the little ones, great care is given and very friendly staff. The updates and photos during the day are lovely.
We're delighted to hear that you and your children enjoy Little Rays! We value the relationships we build with families and appreciate your kind words about our team and the daily updates. Thank you!
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!
Thank you so much for your review of Little Rays! It means the world to hear that both your sons have had such positive experiences here.
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.
Thank you for your fantastic review! It's great to hear your son loves coming to Little Rays and enjoys our engaging activities.
The best nursery ever! Honestly top service from all the staff. My daughter is so comfortable with them and is so happy going in! They have lots and lots of great equipment and great activities. Every single member of staff is so genuinely lovely. Highly recommend!
Thank you for your amazing review! It's great to know that you appreciate our fantastic team, thank you for choosing Little Rays!
My daughter currently attends preschool in Little Rays and absolutely loves it. It has a real home-from-home feel and the staff are very attentive and caring. The app is a bonus as it is a great way to communicate and lovely to see the activities and fun your child is having. I would definitely recommend Little Rays.
Thank you for your lovely review! We're thrilled to hear your daughter feels right at home in our preschool and enjoys the caring attention from our team.
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.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're incredibly happy to hear that your daughter has thrived at Little Rays since starting in September.
Both of my children have been at Little Rays from an early and now are school-age. The staff are always friendly, helpful and caring towards my children. They provide a rich, stimulating environment that aids their development at every stage. There is always good communication and my children always speak positively of their experiences.
It makes everything we do worthwhile knowing our teams care and the stimulating environment contribute positively to both of your daughter's development. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review!
Looking forward to two more years with Little Rays.
It is lovely to hear your daughter loves Little Rays just as much as her brother did. Knowing he still remembers his time here is the impact we strive to make on all the children we care for! Thank you for the review!
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.
Thank you for your review! We're absolutely delighted to hear both your children had a wonderful experience at our preschool.
An amazing nursery and the care my child receives from the whole team is absolutely amazing. It really has that family feel and the team always go above and beyond for the children. Would highly recommend Little Rays (Lisburn).
We're all about creating a home from home feel in the nursery for the children and their families. Thank you for recognising this, your review truly makes our day.
Brilliant staff. They have been amazing while my son has been potty training. Good facilities, good activities daily. They get time outside usually daily weather permitting. All in all a good nursery .
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. It's great to hear how helpful our team were during the dreaded potty training stage!
He absolutely loves it, loves going into school and chats about his teachers and friends daily. Support from the staff is great, the food is fantastic, can't recommend Little Rays highly enough.
I'm so glad your son has enjoyed his time in Little Rays and I hope it continues! Thank you for your kind review.
