My son started in Little Rays Creche in Moira and the girls are extremely caring and helpful. The environment is welcoming as soon as you walk in and exceptionally clean. Communication through the app is exceptional also.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
As a first time mum, very nervous of leaving their child in nursery, I have to say Little Rays Moira have been fantastic. They are so responsive, friendly and in the space of a few weeks my daughter now is so excited to go in each day. You can see the genuine care the staff have for the children and
the level of detail/photos you get on the app is so reassuring throughout the day. The food is brilliant and my daughter who refused everything at the start now eats everything (also so good in relation to her food allergies).
Reply from Ashleigh McCrum, Area Manager at Little Rays Nursery MoiraThank you so much for sharing your experience! We know how daunting those first few weeks can be for a new mum, so we are thrilled to hear that your daughter has settled in so well and now arrives with excitement.

Our kids have been at Little Rays Nursery Moira for over 4 years and we can't rate the nursery highly enough. The staff are wonderful with the kids, nothing is too much trouble and the staff have such a fantastic relationship with the children. The environment is so supportive of their development and
they have such fun everyday. There has been lots of NICSS information to navigate and they have been great at communicating and supporting parents through this.
Reply from Ashleigh McCrum, Area Manager at Little Rays Nursery MoiraThank you for your kind words! We're thrilled to have been a part of your children's lives for over four years. We appreciate your continued trust and support!

Our two daughters have both attended Little Rays Moira for 8 months. The girls have experienced love, care and nurture from all members of staff. We are thrilled with the support both girls get on a daily basis. They care for our children like they are their own and we can't thank them enough. We thoroughly
enjoy getting daily updates about the girls' progress and their daily routine.

Amazing staff! They go above and beyond for my daughter, who has ASD and have taken patience and care to settle and comfort her when she's having a moment of confusion or an unsettled day. She enjoys going into after school with big smiles on her face and loves the outdoor area. One happy child here.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My child has been in the baby room since September and I must say my partner and I are delighted with how he has been looked after.
Two members of staff in particular are brilliant with him and they are very professional and caring.
We love the updates from the app and the facilities are excellent.
We
have had good and bad experiences with nurseries in the past but our experience with Little Rays Nursery Moira has been really positive.
Our experience is that a nursery is a function of it's staff and our first experiences with staff and the other staff who look after him make us feel that Little Rays is in good hands.
Keep up the good work and please pass on this feedback to the staff.
Reply from Ashleigh McCrum, Area Manager at Little Rays Nursery MoiraThank you so much for your kind words! We're so happy to hear that you and your son have had such a positive experience at Little Rays Moira. We'll be sure to share your feedback with the team!

Little Rays Nursery is brilliant for our girls. They are safe, loved, looked after and couldn't be happier when we see them going in in the morning or coming out in the evening. The staff go above and beyond what we ask them to do.

We have two girls attending Little Rays since they were very young, they have additional needs. Our older girl previously attended Little Ray's Nursery and pre-school. Little Rays Moira is an excellent nursery, we are very happy with the care our girls receive, we couldn’t ask for more the staff and
management go over and above to try and meet the girls' needs. I would highly recommend the nursery.

My little boy has been attending Little Rays since July 2023. As a first time mum I was nervous to leave him, but the team were fantastic from the start both at the settling-in days and also keeping us up to date through the app and replying to messages quickly. You can see the genuine care the staff

I can not recommend Little Rays enough. From the baby room right through to the preschool and after-school setting, children are benefiting from excellent care and attention from the very capable and friendly staff. The progress and development of my children within this nursery environment have been
brilliant, the facilities offered and the wide range of activities on a daily basis keep the children entertained, and stimulated and further develop their social skills.

We have two kids in Little Rays, one from 4 years old and the other from 1.
We are very happy with the care they receive there, the youngest loves it there and sometimes isn't fussed about coming home.
When the oldest was having bother with another child there it was handled well and there was no
further problem. The mix of activities during the school holidays are good for keeping the older one happy too.
The staff are so lovely, really helpful, and have genuine affection for the kids. They really share in the milestones and successes.
Also during the terrible icy weather right now I really appreciate that the car park is completely ice-free so I'm not a danger carrying the younger one in!
I would absolutely recommend Little Rays to anyone without hesitation.

My daughter loves going to Little Rays Nursery. She has made lots of friends and she enjoys the fun-filled itinerary that has been put together by the team. The staff are professional and extremely attentive to my daughter's needs. My daughter gets plenty of outside playtime, healthy meals and she is
encouraged to learn through play on a daily basis. The staff provide me with regular updates of my daughter's progress and how she is getting on during the day. My daughter's communication and language skills are growing each day, and she is becoming a confident little lady with the help of the staff at Little Rays.

I have two children currently at Little Rays (ages 2 and 4), and both have attended since around one year old. They both love going in, and have developed really good bonds with the staff who are always engaging and very supportive. They provide a great range of activities and plenty of outdoor time
for the children, as well as lots of seasonal fun items during the year. Highly recommend!

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.409)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.409) out of 10 for Little Rays Nursery Moira is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 14 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 4.923 for Little Rays Nursery Moira is calculated as follows: ( (155 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 168 Ratings = 4.923
  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 4.486 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Rays Nursery Moira is based on 14 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 = 3.85
    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 110 number of registered child places is 22. 14 Positive Reviews ÷ 22 = 0.636
  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.
