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.

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  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.

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
have for the children! The messy play and activities are great. We don’t have any complaints at all! Thank you for looking after our son so well!

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.

My niece has attended Little Rays for over a year and she absolutely loves it. The girls in the rooms she has been in have been brilliant with her and have really helped her helped with her development. They go over and above to give her the best care possible. She runs into nursery and has learnt so
much. The app makes it easy for forms to be signed and keeps us updated during the day as well as with her observations. Cannot recommend Little Rays enough.

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!

Such a wonderful nursery with great staff and facilities. My little girl is well looked after and even though she is a rather fussy eater the staff don't shy away from offering her the food and working to try and expand her pallet. My little girls loves going every week and when she has to go home there
are usually tears as she wanted to stay longer. We'll worth the money we pay.

The use of apps is great for constant communication during the day regarding our children. We know that our children are safe and well cared for at Little

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.633)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.633) out of 10 for Little Rays Nursery Moira is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 16 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.906 for Little Rays Nursery Moira is calculated as follows: ( (174 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 192 Ratings = 4.906

  • b) 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 4.727 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Rays Nursery Moira is based on 16 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 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. 16 Positive Reviews ÷ 22 = 0.727

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
