The children have very attentive & engaging staff. Children enjoy being there. They have met a lot of good friends (for life) and they all get on so well.
Classroom activities are very good and plenty of outdoor time too.

My children have attended Little Rays Nursery from small babies and have attended pre school, after school and days during the holidays.
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!

Little Rays Nursery Ballymena

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

I can't say enough great things about Little Rays Nursery, Ballymena. The staff are incredibly warm, nurturing, and attentive to each child's needs. From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed and reassured that our son would be in a safe and loving environment.
The activities are well-planned,
engaging, and help children learn through play. The facilities are clean, well-maintained, and equipped with everything needed for a fun and educational experience. We've seen such amazing growth in our son's confidence, social skills, and development since joining.
Communication is excellent, with regular updates and photos through the app, which really help put our minds at ease. It's clear that the team genuinely cares about every child, and we are so grateful to have found such a wonderful nursery. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a nurturing and enriching place for their children.

My child has recently started to attend little rays within the last 6 months and I have really enjoyed seeing them bond with the staff.
My child used to fight me going in, but now they go to the staff & take their hand.
I'm sent regular photos throughout the day which I absolutely love and the fact
I can communicate with the room via the app is great
I've seen improvements in my child's abilities and speech since attending little rays & just from my own experience would recommend it to others.
Thank you all for the hard work & effort you put in to provide an excellent level of care

Little Rays Nursery Ballymena

from Amy J (Mother of Child) published on 14 March 2025
Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My daughter has attended Little Rays for close to 3 years. She has been looked after in almost every room during that time. The level of care given to her has been exceptional throughout this time. The planning of activities is amazing, most notably in the searchers/seekers room. Themed days/weeks,
outside activities and so much more! The room leaders care so much about the children - special mention to two members of staff in particular! My daughter come home talking about her leaders and friends every day. All information is shared on the app, which allows me to feel up to date about my daughter's day. I would highly recommend Little Rays to anyone, because i have no doubt they will be well cared for.

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.

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.

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!

Lovely and caring staff and nursery provides a nice and safe environment away from home. App is great and keeps parents updated throughout the day on what the kids are getting upto, all the fun and educational activities planned and meals they offer. The initial transition and settling into nursery
was very well organised and supportive for both kids and parents.
