Review from Rachael M (Mother of Child) published on 15 January 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I needed to return to work after 6 months of maternity leave after having my first child. Before selecting a nursery, Her dad and I viewed a number of nurseries; but Little Rays for us, stood out from all the rest. We were particularly impressed with the experience from within the nursery, the friendliness
of all the staff, and the fun, bright and positive learning atmosphere. Little Rays is welcoming from the moment you step through the door and our daughter loves it.


During our time at the nursery we have benefited from Little Rays using Nursery Pal (a little bit like a Facebook page for her day). We have found this a brilliant way to keep us posted with how her is getting on, and during a lunch break I can log on and view a picture from that day that has been uploaded onto her page. My husband and I love it as it feels like we are not missing out on her learning and development.


This nursery is amazing. The facilities are excellent, the staff are awesome and the activities and rotation of play are faultless.


I cannot rate Little Rays highly enough.

Reply from Michelle Rea, Company Director at Little Rays Nursery LisburnThanks Rachael for such a positive review. The team work so hard to provide a welcoming and friendly environment for all the children and parents and it's so lovely to read acknowledgement of this.

  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 24 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.924 for Little Rays Nursery Lisburn is calculated as follows: ( (266 Excellents x 5) + (22 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 288 Ratings = 4.924
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.923 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Rays Nursery Lisburn is based on 24 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 130 number of registered child places is 26. 24 Positive Reviews ÷ 26 = 0.923
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
