Nella's Daycare - Call for assistance. Don't use the yelp messaging feature. She responds quickly to call or text. - Child Care & Day Care Near Me - Santa Clarita, California

Ms. Nella provides a safe, loving, and supportive environment where children truly thrive. She came highly recommended by a friend, and from the very beginning, we knew she was the right fit. As parents who both work with children, we had very high standards and knew exactly what we were looking for in a daycare. Ms. Nella exceeded every expectation. Our daughter attended Nella's Family Child Daycare for four wonderful years, and we honestly don't know what we would have done without her. Even now, at 13 years old, our daughter still talks about how much she loves Ms. Nella and the many happy memories she made there. If you're looking for someone who genuinely cares for your child and creates a warm, nurturing, and enriching environment, you can't go wrong with Ms. Nella. She is simply the best, and we recommend her without hesitation! read more

I have been sending my kids (1 and 3) to Ms Nella's daycare for a half year and they love going so much! They are building relationships with peers, learning rules and daily life wisdom from Ms Nella. Ms Nella is more than a care giver or a teacher to my kids. They love her as a family! We appreciate her hard work. If you need somebody who would look after your child with genuine love and care, Ms Nella is your best choice! read more

I can't say more good things about Nella! From the first time I called she answered immediately and shared with me she has been doing this for many years. Make sure you call or text her direct phone number listed above, she will always answer unless changing a kiddo! My daughter started at 6 months and has never had a day crying dropped off and has always come home happy! She now runs in when we arrive to join her friends. This is so much better than a center setting! It feels like going to family's house. Nella adores my daughter and my daughter adores her. I check on her frequently when I miss her (working mom) and Nella happily sends me updates and photos. I could not be more grateful to have a safe place to keep my sweet girl! read more

We love Nellas Daycare! Both of my kiddos have been going there for years! I am so thankful we found her!! Text her for inquiries she's a speedy responder! read more

I can't say enough wonderful things about Ms.Nella! My son was lucky enough to be in her care for about 3 years and it was truly a blessing. She is so kind, patient and professional. She truly does have the best interests for the kids and it's no surprise my son adores her and has always looked forward to spending his days at her daycare. She is always planning fun activities for the children to enjoy and stay busy and I have always loved the pictures and small updates she would send through out the days. I tried another daycare but things didn't work out and now I can see this is by far the best daycare in our area! She is very trustworthy and I would definitely recommend her to anyone in need of childcare. The best way to reach her is by phone directly, she is very responsive. I can't say thank you enough to Ms.Nella! read more

I found Ms. Nella through Yelp! It's been the best decision to have my son placed on the waitlist with her before he was even born because it was so hard to get a spot in her amazing home daycare. I placed my baby in her care since he was 6 months old and he's just been thriving. She's very attentive to each kid yet structures their day around the meals, fun activities and incorporates all the fun holiday activities for them. During each of the holidays they do fun activities-- this past holiday she had older kids come and read the little ones holiday books. My son loves-- LOVES playing in her backyard with all the play structures. Whenever I go to pick him up, he cries because he wants to play there longer. To me that's a great sign she dotes on them! As a FTM I was nervous about leaving my baby with anyone but she made it seamless. She sent us photos of our baby playing and eating throughout the day. It was especially helpful for us in the beginning. Even now though he is over 2 years old, she sends us cute photos of him playing and growing. We appreciate that a lot. Ms. Nella is truly the best there is for childcare. read more

We came across Ms. Nella through a good friend of mine. And let me tell you.. she is heaven sent. I was really skeptical on putting my son on a daycare but she made the transition very easy. She would always send me pictures of my son (which i really love) and she keeps me updated with my son's day-to-day activities. She is sweet, patient, and kind that's why i think all of the kids love her and us (parents) too. She is also very flexible and she will always work with you in terms of taking care of your little one. She is really amazing and we are very grateful to know her. Thank you for everything Ms. Nella. read more

Nella is one of a kind! She really loves and cares for the children she takes care of. Over 2 years ago, I found her out of sheer luck. And I am so grateful that I did. She goes above and beyond to provide a safe and loving environment. She provides a fun, educational, and entertaining daycare and the kids love her so much that they don't want to leave! I've visited quite a few of other daycares and my little one was in a couple of other daycares and this is by far the best daycare in SCV. You can't find a better daycare than Nella's daycare. We love Nella! Best way to get a hold of her is to call her directly. She is always very responsive while my little one is there. She is very trustworthy and I recommend her for anyone who is looking for child care. read more

Mrs Nella is the absolute best! We were so blessed to have found her as our child care provider! Our son loves her and she loves all the kids! She's so great with the children and he has learned such important social skills that we are truly grateful for. read more

Nella's Daycare - Tyler @ Mrs Nella's Daycare eating lunch. - Child Care & Day Care Near Me - Santa Clarita, California

Nella is one of the best babysitters there is in Santa Clarita. She is kind and takes care of your children just like it was her own children. We were with her babysitting service from 3 months- 3years old. My son loved Nella and still asks about her. I am so grateful for the kindness she has provided to my son. She provides a loving, safe and caring environment for the children. She was always fun and educational with the kids. She also would provide holiday parties and swim days (summer) for the kids. Nella is your girl for your babysitting needs. read more

Both my girls have been here. Kids loved their time with Nella. She has plenty of activities to keep the kids busy. She sends pictures and videos throughout the day. If we weren't moving out of state, we would absolutely continue with her. Thank you so much Nella. read more

Mrs Nella is truly an angel. She is now family to us. My son went to her daycare when he was 4 until he started school and my baby started at 4 months. She loves them like her own. They have so much fun at her daycare. She respects all your methods of parenting. She cooks delicious and nutritious meals for the children. She even made me lunch one time when I went to visit my baby on my lunch break. She keeps the children in line and for that they all respect her and love her. I highly recommend her. I am so thankful she was referred to us by a friend. My husband and I can work confidently knowing our baby is in great loving hands. We just love her! read more

I don't often write reviews but I feel like I just need to do this. My son Henry goes to Nella's daycare Wednesday to Friday. He is 10 months old. This is our first son and frankly it's been really tough adjusting. Nella has made it easy. She keeps me up to date with videos and pictures. The first day Henry was so happy to be around peers he didn't want to leave. I'm so blessed that my prayers came true and I found a person who has decades of experience. Nella is very helpful. She is very professional and her staff is so accommodating. I visited many other facilities and they were amazing but I wanted a more home like atmosphere in a nice family neighborhood. We really did a lot of research and toured many places. As long as we are living in Santa Clarita I don't see any other place I could leave my son. Thank you Nell's Family Child Daycare read more

Nella's Daycare - Henry (10 month) First Day at Nella's Family Day Care - Child Care & Day Care Near Me - Santa Clarita, California

My son really likes going to Miss Nella's Daycare, he has been going to there for a year now (this is really an overdue post). We are really blessed to have her in our lives. Our little one is well taken care of and is learning different things every day. For full time parents who need extra hand with their little ones, Miss Nella is just a call or text away. read more

There is no better place to put your most treasured possessions, Nella is like family, and we have been blessed and honored to be a part of her daycare for the last three years. If you are fortunate enough to get a space here, your children will be in the best of hands. We are now on our second of two kids who have been with Nella since 8-weeks-old. One is now almost 3y, and the other is just eight months. When you are leaving a baby that small, especially your first, you need to trust who you are leaving the baby with. There is no one I would trust more. She is accommodating, responsive, attentive, reliable, helpful, and extremely professional, while also being a trusted friend and amazing influence on every single stage of our child's development No one ever told me that Daycare could be such an integral and cherished part of our kids lives, and it has become that for them, and for us. Our oldest even runs to the door to greet her every morning, and often is sad to leave. I also can report that when there are discipline problems (what, my kid??) we have worked together to come up with a mutual plan of how to handle these situations at home and at Nella's. The result is love and consistency and that is what kids need. I cannot recommend Nella enough. There is everything you could ever need in a daycare here, plus so much more for both the kids and the parents. And while I know there will be a time that both boys have grown beyond the daycare age, and must move on, but I can assure you we will visit often. Nella is family, and what more could anyone want for their kid? read more

My son started going to ms. Nella when he was 2 we both absolutely love her and her family one of the hardest things we had to do when I decided to move back to Texas was say goodbye to her. He still FaceTimes her and his friends whenever we get the chance. She was always available by phone or text when my child was in her care, she loves each and everyone of the children she has in her care as if they were her own they are always welcomed and told goodbye each day with hugs. She also spends time teaching them the things they need to know to prepare for kindergarten my son is now almost 5 and will start kinder next year he just tested at almost a first grade reading level. I can't express into words how grateful my son and I both are to have Ms Nella In our lives. read more

One of life's most precious gifts is your children. So, when considering a daycare provider you strive to find the best!! I found that with Miss Nella. Both my children have gone to her daycare since 2012. My children absolutely adore her and she treats them as her own. Nella is nurturing, patient, and very easy to work with. If considering daycare for your children, Nella's is the place to be!! read more

My daughter has been going to Nella since she was 3 months old. As my first child I was so nervous finding daycare for when I went back to work. I checked out other places that were obvious like tutor time and they were so expensive and didn't seem very personable. Luckily I was recommended Nella by a friend and after the first day I felt so relieved that I found someone with the attentiveness and experience as Nella (and also at a more reasonable cost!). As a mom of three and a daycare provider for many years, she has acted as a mentor to me through all stages of development of my daughter. She gives me a full rundown of everything that happened during the day. It used to be milk and diaper changes and now it's more behavior reports now that my daughter will be turning 5 soon. She even worked with my daughter with her letters and taught her how to write her name after I opted out of preschool due to COVID. She is like a second mom to my daughter and I know she will miss her very much. read more

My kid has been with Nella for a few years now and all I can say is that she provides the kids with a lot of TLC. She communicates very well with parents which is valuable and knowing that my child is in a safe environment while I'm at work. The place is also very clean and feels like a second home to some other kids. I always see them happy and contented being with Nella. Whenever I pick up my child she always let me know how did the day go, keeps me up to date on progress such as walking, teething, etc....She even teaches the kids proper manners such as a simple thank you and please. My child has improved greatly with language and social skills. I highly recommend Nella for anyone who needs childcare! read more

Not sure why my previous review wasn't posted. But here it is We moved here from Singapore last year and was feeling nervous about sending our 1.5yrs daughter, Reesha,to a daycare. I came across Miss Nella's daycare on Yelp. After meeting her, I felt at ease about sending our daughter over. We are so blessed and grateful to her for taking such great care of our daughter. Without a doubt, Miss Nella is an excellent daycare provider. She is dedicated to the development of each child by ensuring goals are met at their own pace. For e.g. when we felt it was time to potty-train Reesha, she provided great advice on how to get started, how to be consistent with the training at home & daycare care as well as updated us on Reesha's progress. Reesha loves going to Miss Nella's daycare & playing with her friends. I always look forward to the videos and pictures she sends us. My family is so lucky to have met Miss Nella. We are truly going to miss her when we head back home to Singapore. read more

Every time I call this school no one answers. I call during business hours also at 9:30am. It sounds like it's someone's voicemail. If they can't answer the phone I'm not sure I'd be comfortable with sending my child here. What if there was an emergency and I needed to talk with the staff. This is very unprofessional read more

Ms. Nella has showered our one and only daughter with loves once she was eight months old. She has nurtured our daughter with patience and guidance, and who are we kidding- US TOO! She is no Pinterest Daycare, she is the definition of HOME Daycare. Ms. Nella has devoted so much to our daughter being not only TK ready, but socially, emotionally ready for a classroom (and life!!). Any family would be lucky to have their child attend Nella Family Daycare. read more

Nella is the best!!! My son was at Nella's from 15 months to a little over 4 years old. From the first day I dropped him off, he never cried, it was the best feeling ever. My son has grown so much and Nella has helped in his development. She is very loving and I am so happy she has been part of our lives, she will definitely be missed. read more

I posted this last month. I don't know what happened to it, but here it is again. I have been taking my daughter to Nella's Family Child Daycare for two and a half years. When my daughter started, she was 20 months old. She had spent the previous year in an orphanage. When she started, she didn't speak or understand English. As a result of Nella's nurturing, my daughter is a happy, well adjusted four year old who loves learning. She knows her letters, numbers, colors and shapes. She loves going to Nella's. Nella is the best kind of daycare provider because she believes in being a partner in a child's upbringing. Nella treats the children as though they are her own. (BTW, when you meet her children, you will realize that that is a good thing.) read more

My daughter has been going to Miss Nella since she was about 8 months old. I interviewed several providers and was feeling very discouraged until I met Nella. She put me at ease and was so kind and nurturing. My daughter is turning 4 tomorrow and is so happy there. She has met great friends that she talks about all the time. If my daughter is sad, Nella always knows how to make her happy. She is professional, loving, and all about the kids. Her whole family is wonderful! I love that she sends me pictures of my daughter having fun. She communicates so well with me and my husband. It will be a sad day when she leaves for preschool. Highly recommend Nellas Family Child Daycare. read more

My son went to Nella from the ages of 3 months to 4 1/2 years, and we were very happy with her service. He's 18 now and in college, but we have Nella to thank us in assisting with his early foundation. She is a very warm person, and is great with kids. She even knew that our son was smart, and gave us tips on how to encourage him to grow. She was right about that, since he ended up graduating in the top ten of his high school class. It was really hard having to return to work when he was 3 months old, but Nella made the transition easier, and we wouldn't have trusted anyone else with his care. I would recommend Nella to anyone looking for a safe and caring environment. read more

Ms. Nella is wonderful and has taken such good care of our daughter from the time she was about 6 months old. She is now almost 4 years old and has learned a lot from being with Ms. Nella including her love for animals! I knew that our daughter was happy to go to daycare everyday and was at ease knowing that Ms. Nella was the one caring for her. I highly recommend Ms. Nella! read more

My daughter and I absolutely love Miss Nella. She provides such a warm and loving home atmosphere for my daughter, who is now 2 years old. She communicates very well to the parents and is just so so wonderful. I am so happy to have found her to watch my daughter for me while I am at work. I highly highly recommend her. read more

Nella is amazing! We were very nervous about finding a good daycare for our daughter. She is our first child. We found Nella from a referral from a friend. Nella is so sweet and amazing with the children. Our daughter is excited to be dropped off and sometimes she even cries when we pick her up! She has learned so much there from Nella and the other children. We couldn't imagine leaving our daughter with anyone else. If you are lucky enough to get your child in you won't just be finding a great daycare but you'll be extending your family. That is what Nella is. read more

Nella was the best thing that ever happened to us. Even though it has been 20 years since my daughter was in her care. My daughter was always well cared for and really never wanted to come home. Alessa learned so much back then. We are still in touch with the whole family and I wouldn't trade her friendship for anything. We love you Nella and your family. read more

Leaving our son in Nella's care is like leaving him with family. When we were looking for the right daycare, everyone we encountered appeared tired and nonchalant, but Nella was happy, energetic and she is still that way every day when we arrive at the door. She treats and cares for our son as if he were her own. He loves Ms. Nella and so do we! We are so fortunate to have her!!! read more

Miss Nella is the most incredible caregiver I have ever met. We were fortunate to find her. She cared for my grandson until his mother decided to move to Texas. She was very accommodating when it came to special foods my grandson wanted to take with him and she also served many of his favorites for lunch and snack every day. She takes her kids on daily strolls and manages to work with each child individually when it comes to their scholastic levels. When my grandson started at the age of 2 he refused to color or try to even scribble. By the time he left he was enjoying this activity very much which helped him prepare for kindergarten. She found a way to make it fun for him. His mother and I would randomly get special texts and videos of him during the day when he was enjoying a special activity Miss Nella had planned for her children. She was able to provide the full package of a standard preschool with the love and atmosphere of a home! The curly headed boy in some of her pictures is my grandson. She loved him and he loved her! read more

I feel extremely lucky that we found Nella. She cared for my son for 8 years since the age of 18 months until he was a 9 year old 3rd grader. My son is now 18 and graduating Highschool and to this day he still considers Nella his second mom. He still keeps in touch and always mentions how amazing his time at Nella's daycare was. Nella provided a comfortable, warm, safe and positive environment for him that made him look forward to everyday he was at daycare. Nella encouraged him as he progressed through the years, instead of moving to a traditional preschool he remained with Nella up until we moved in 3rd grade. He learned and advanced far beyond what he would have in traditional pre K. I truly believe the nurturing environment really helped him do so well when he finally attended elementary school. He continued to stay with Nella after school from Kindergarten until the beginning of 3rd grade. Myself and my son, would highly recommend Nella's daycare for your child/children. I believe, Nella stands out because she treats every child like they are her own. She provides a clean, warm, safe and educationally stimulating environment while providing a comfy and safe daycare nestled in a wonderful neighborhood. I can't say enough positive things about her...a truly amazing person that is a natural at providing a second home for children when parents are working. read more

Exceptional childcare provider! My son is now 2 years old & he has been with Nella since he was 8 mos. old. My sons loves to go and have fun with different kids.

We highly recommend her services to anyone who needs childcare. read more
