The first time, it took them over three months to find a nanny -- far too long. I had to hire someone on my own just to return to school. Since I'd already paid a $500 deposit, I gave them a second chance after that nanny left for school herself. That's how we ended up here. We paid the full $7,597 fee. Within one week, the nanny they placed damaged our property and lied about it. We confirmed it on security footage and let her go immediately. The agency admitted the nanny didn't meet their own standards and promised to make things right. Instead of a refund, they offered two more candidates -- one ghosted us, and the other wanted a rate above our stated budget. We found a nanny on our own (again) and asked for a fair 80% refund. They refused -- offering just $3,000 only if we signed a non-disparagement agreement to keep quiet about our experience. They tried to buy my silence. Which makes you wonder -- how many other families have they silenced this way? Bottom Line: We paid nearly $8,000 for one week of broken trust, property damage, and zero accountability. Their "guarantee" doesn't offer real protection -- just more candidates, regardless of quality. Would I recommend them? No. Twice they failed us, and when given the chance to do the right thing, they chose legal loopholes and hush money. Cost vs. Value: $7,597 for one week of chaos and a gag offer. Families deserve better.

Amazing caregivers. Need I say more? Yes probably…read more If you're worried about having your kid attend daycare during these weird times, I understand as a new parent. My 15 month old baby has been attending the nook since Dec 2019 when he was just 4 months old and 4ish months pre-covid... The women that work at the Nook understand babies and development and are so sweet and loving. And furthermore, I firmly believe socializing your child at a young age is one of the best things you can do for their growth- studies have shown it and I've seen it with my own eyes. Kids learn so much from their peers and experienced caregivers. Covid has made me question if exposing my child to more people is safe and it probably isn't by having may baby in daycare. But my husband and I both need to work, and at the Nook, they take every safety precaution very seriously- they sanitize daily, masks on everyone except kids under 2, and if an outbreak happens in a classroom, that room is shut down for 2 weeks to protect the rest of the staff and children. I couldn't ask for a better daycare for my baby especially during these uncertain times. The Nurturing Nook was recommended to me by my neighbor who's 6 year old kid is smart funny inquisitive and kind- so from one mom to another I think this place is legit AF.
