Nikki is absolutely fantastic. We've been going to Nikki's for about 6+ months now. My toddler loves going to her and I feel confident that he's safe and happy at her child care. He's learning so much right now, soaking up the books and flash cards she uses. She's kind, caring, understanding, and flexible with schedule. The cost is reasonable for the area too. It's a great home child care with a really nice play area in the back yard. I also appreciate how she handles illnesses to make sure the kids aren't spreading sickness around as much as possible. 10/10 would recommend! read more

Nikki is wonderful! Highly recommend her, especially if you are a nervous first time parent like I was! It can be so difficult to trust someone with your child, but after meeting Nikki and seeing her in action we felt instantly comfortable. Our son has been with her for months now and he runs to the door when it's drop off time, and we've even had some pick up's where he has not wanted to leave lol! - that says ALOT to us about how happy he is there during his day. She is kind & patient and truly cares about the children in her care. read more

Our son has been with Nikki for 4 months now and he absolutely loves it! He is always so excited to see Miss Nikki and his friends. If you are parents that love displaying your child's art on the refrigerator like us, then you will have no shortage with sending your child here. Nikki makes sure to keep the kids busy and engaged while still having lots of fun. Can't wait until our youngest is old enough to join her brother with Miss Nikki. read more

My daughter has been been with Miss Nikki for almost 4 months and she absolutely loves it there. We were hesitant about starting daycare but we recently had some serious family issues that we needed more time to attend to and Nikki was able to take our daughter and help us out right away. My daughter loves it there and it was a great and easy transition from home to daycare. Nikki is warm, sweet, nurturing and my daughter absolutely loves her. read more

I would highly recommend Nikki's child care to anyone looking for a daycare for there little one. My son started there 3 months ago right before he turned 1 years old. Which I believe to be a hard age to start. I tried other daycares prior and they just didn't feel right. At Nikki's childcare she always lets you in and out when dropping your child off. My son was sleep trained from a young age and was use to his crib and room. They helped to make this a comfortable transition for not only him but me as well. She will text updates and let you know how he is doing. I feel confident when I drop my son off that he is getting the best care possible while having fun! Mrs. Nikki and Mrs. Sandra we love you guys and I feel so fortunate to have found you! read more

As a first-time parent, the experience of trying to find ideal and affordable child care is absolutely nerve-wracking. Luckily, my partner discovered Nikki's Child Care online. Their website is informative, polished, and displays a really promising facility. We weren't quite sure what to expect, but it didn't take long for us to realize that Nikki's Child Care was exactly what we were looking for. We have been with Nikki's Child Care for about 5 months now and we couldn't be happier. As an educator myself, it was really comforting to know that we had found a place that shared the same institutional values. So far, our daughter's experiences with the daycare have contributed tremendously to her growth and development. Their program, curriculum, and projects are wonderful and are perfect for our now 20-month-old! Again, as first-time parents, it has been a real blessing to know that our child is in good hands. Miss Nicole and Miss Vanessa are very warm, caring, and energetic as well as kind and attentive. Their rates have increased quite a bit recently but we hope that the facility will remain affordable. We'd love to be able to continue sending our daughter here until it's time for her to go to grade school. Enrich your child's development; support this lovely, small business. read more

We registered our 18 month old son in Nikki's Child Care in September after taking him out of a day care center where he was continuously getting sick. We've been with Ms Nikki now for just over 2 months and we LOVE her! My son does not get sick as often as before, her day care is very clean and she is cautious with covid guidelines, which we really appreciate. She creates a very welcoming and comforting environment that makes us feel better about leaving our baby for the day. Our son seems to love Ms. Nikki and enjoys spending his days there while We're at work. They also get to participate in fun holiday parties and activities. We appreciate the visibility that Ms. Nikki gives parents, you actually get to walk your child in at drop off/pickup and you can check in on your little one at anytime. read more

My daughter has been with Miss Nikki for about a month now, and she loves it! When she first started out, she had a hard time whenever I would drop her off in the morning (as would a normal 2 year old); but Miss Nikki always made her feel comfortable throughout the day. During the first couple of weeks, Miss Nikki would send photos of my daughter to show what she's doing, and there's always an open communication through text messages. So far, after being in child care for a month, my daughter RARELY cries when she's dropped off in the morning, she walks in there with a big smile on her face and ready to play with her friends. Miss Nikki always sends home a daily report on what my child ate, how many times she's had her milk, as well as how many times her diaper's been changed - so that definitely helps as well. I would recommend this place to parents who are looking for child care. PS. I love that this place has a very nice and secure gate. There are cameras outside who show who is ringing the bell before Miss Nikki buzzes you in. There are also cameras inside as well. Before you get into the child care, there is another gate that makes it pretty hard for a toddler to reach which is awesome. :) read more

Our family absolutely loves Nikki! My son has been going to Nikki's Child Care for a few months and we've had a great experience thus far. Nikki is so kind and always professional. This is my son's first experience attending daycare and Nikki helped the transition go smoothly. I was nervous about my son napping at daycare because he only sleeps in his crib at home. Nikki has been so patient with him as he adjusts to a new nap time environment. I highly recommend Nikki's Child Care! Your child will be in great hands. read more

I will recommend Nikki's child care to people who is looking for a daycare. My son has been attending Nikki's care for almost 3 months now. Its a gated house. You ring the doorbell and nikki will buzz you in. There is another door which is child proof before you actually get to the place. Cameras all over the house. The place is cozy, clean and comfortable for the little ones. There is also an outside area where the kids can run around and play. When you drop off your kid, Nikki will greet you and makes your little one feel comfortable. My son has separation anxiety so he would cry when ever i drop him off but Nikki makes sure that he feels comfortable and situated whenever I'm about to leave. Really appreciate that. She sends daily report about your child. What they eat, activity for the day, and whenever their diaper has been changed. I believe she sends reports via texts messages throughout the day as well. My only take is that you have to pick up your child before 5pm. After 5 theres a charge of $1.00 a minute. I myself trek the 405fwy everyday real tough. Other than that i give Nikki's child care a 5 star. I Recommend her to anyone who is looking for a day care for their little ones. Thank you Nikki! read more

I used to really like this facility until I started to notice some things that made me feel extremely uncomfortable. The facility is always a mess, toys everywhere outside clean up doesn't seem to exist at this place! Also I have caught Nikki curling her hair before while a child was already present at the daycare! How is that appropriate supervision? Oh right IT ISNT! Also, she had her sick dog inside the facility while my child and other children were present! I've let so many things slide with this place but not anymore! She claims she works on enrichment but I have yet to see any of that. Extremely disappointed! read more

Our little daughter has been attending Nikki's for over a month now and we only have words of gratitude for the way our baby is been taking care of, she has grown so much to be more social and open with other kids and even learn to speak more. Nikki is very sweet and patient with the children and so understandable with the parents. She has the perfect environment for the little ones to develop, learn through playing and enjoy healthy food and yummy snacks. This is an affordable daycare for parents who are on a budget. Daily reports on how your baby is doing and texts of their daily activities makes things easier of being away from her and with a very organized schedule that makes nap time easier at home as well, something that parents of toddlers will appreciate very much. read more

The place is clean and people are very friendly. Everytime I asked my daughter if she wants to come back..her answer is always "Yes!". Thank you Nikki! read more

We found Nikki's childcare listed on Care.com she was one of the first daycare providers to reach out to us. Upon our first visit our daughter seemed very comfortable with Nikki. Being a first time mother this set my mind at ease. Nikki is a very sweet person, she is very flexible and is constantly providing me with daily updates on my daughter's progress. It's only been about a month but we definitely see how our child has grown and we know that she is in good hands and loved. We are so grateful for finding Nikki. read more

As Nikki's first official client, we wanted to share our experience on her still developing Day Care.  We will try to stick to just the facts, rather than opinion, so here it is: Nikki is one of the nicest individuals we have met.  She was very sweet, very open / accommodating to our requests.  Not sure you will find a nicer individual in the Day Care field.  Which is truly what drew us in to sign with Nikki. When Nikki first explained her vision of her new business to us, it sounded like she wanted the business to be focused around toddlers / pre-school, which was mainly her experience for the past few years before she was let go (on good terms - confirmed from pre-school she previously worked at).  But she was open to accepting our infant (4 month old), and her license permitted her to an infant, as we were told.  After speaking with her references, all of her references had toddlers that Nikki took care of.  None of them had Nikki take care of an infant, although one of her references said that she spoke with a different reference that said Nikki babysat her infant for a little while (so reference of a reference confirmed - guess we had to trust them?). :) So we took a leap of faith with a young Day Care individual, knowing that Nikki didn't have extensive experience with infants, which is not easy concerning your infant first born child. We decided to start off with part-time Day Care to test the waters.  Two days the first week (Mon & Fri), and two days the second week (Thurs & Fri).  After the first day, Nikki reported that our little guy had good moments, and fussy moments, but overall great!  The second day she reported he was very fussy, and she brought in her assistant (which is her very young cousin).  The third day came, he did good again!  And the fourth day came, which was also the starting day for one other infant (so she now has two infants, which I believe reduces the amount of toddlers she can take in per her license unless she had more Day Care professionals - probably not what she envisioned for her business).  So here we are, the 4th day in, no reports of issues from Nikki throughout the day, everything was normal according to her text messages throughout the day.  My husband goes to pick up our little one, and Nikki informs us that she is dropping us as clients, and is no longer willing to take care of our fussy infant because she believes there are better more infant focused day cares to take care of our infant.  SHOCKING to say the least.  Not only did she drop us without any warning, but she revealed that she was only able to feed our 4 month old infant 2 OUNCES of milk the ENTIRE 9 HOUR DAY!  Nor did our baby sleep at all!  No phone call, no text, nothing to let us know that our infant was not eating or sleeping.  Nikki said that she didn't want us to think that she couldn't take care of our baby.... So here we are, back to square one, scrambling to find a new day care who can handle infants.  Looking back, and as Nikki put it herself, it's a good thing that she dropped us, as our infant would have continuously been deprived of proper infant care and attention. read more

Nikki's Child Care - Child Care & Day Care Near Me - North Hills, California

My son has just started at Nikki's Child Care. Although I miss him terribly I know he is in good hands. The prices are affordable and Nikki is truly so sweet. She really gives my son lots of attention and keeps him happy all day. I get a few pictures throughout the day which I appreciate and she communicates all day with me on feeding and his overall schedule. The Child Care is very clean and in a good neighborhood. She has a camera system and its secure. She listens to the tips I give her when it comes to my son and applies them. We have a great system going on. Its been a good transition from home to daycare. I am very grateful I found her as it is hard to find care for infants especially at the rate she offers. read more

Nikki is wonderful! My 14 mo old son has been going to her part time for one and a half months now, and we have had a great experience. It was his first time in day care and Nikki helped make the transition smooth for both of us. She is fun, friendly, and welcoming. The space is very clean, and colorful and fun. She sends home daily reports on how their day went, and will usually text a few pictures too. I highly recommend her! read more

I recommend Nikki's Child Care to those who are looking to enroll their children. My daughter has been attending for about 3 months now. She has had a very hard time adjusting to the new environment without Mom, Dad or Grandma being around. She has had difficulty adjusting to nap time as well. The entire time, Nikki has remained patient and been extremely open to trying out new ways to make her feel comfortable. Now, she is taking 1-2 hour long naps and does not cry anymore when being dropped off (except when she's dropped off by me). Daily reports are sent home and Nikki also sends texts throughout the day if you want to get an update on how your child is doing. She just recently extended the hours from 5 pm to 5:30 pm which is a HUGE help for those trying to make it on time from work. The house is surrounded with an automated gate and the door to enter only opens when it is buzzed from the inside. Multiple cameras are placed around the residence. The children have a lot of activities to do inside and there is an outside area as well. Nikki provides meals/snacks for the children. She is very affordable and for the experience the children receive it is so worth it. They get to learn about colors, shapes, numbers, etc. and get to have fun while doing so. Thank you so much Nikki for all you have done in helping our daughter develop and taking care of her while we are away. We appreciate it very much. read more

Mrs Nikki is a wonderful young lady who gave me the first impression of having a genuine passion for caring for kids. I knew that once I met her I can truly trust her with my child because I had that instinct of knowing that my child would be in good hands as I am away from my baby. As a loving mother of my baby it is hard enough for me to be away from any of my kids, but Nikki is kind enough for me to call and check up on my baby or even come in at anytime without any notification at all to see my baby. I highly recommend Nikki for anyone who needs their child to be taken care of because she is a trustworthy and caring individual who wants nothing but the most valuable care for children. read more

I daughter recently started going to Nikki's Daycare and I was super nervous at first since this is my first child and she's always been in care of family members. But I quickly realized it is a safe and secure daycare for any child. I thought it would take my daughter a long time to get use to a new environment but she quickly got accustomed. I can see that Nikki is so attentive to my child and I can tell how much my daughter likes her because she let's go of me when I drop her off. I'm glad we found this daycare! read more

This is an update of my previous post. My daughter seemed to enjoy it here for awhile, but after a few months she would come home pouting everyday and saying negative things about herself, like I'm dumb, where would a 2 year old learn that? Miss Nikki is very sweet and I do think she genuinely loves the kids, but her daycare seems to lack structure. The kids spent a lot of time inside watching TV, which is not ok with me. read more

My son has been with Nikki for over a month and let me just start by saying it has been the best decision i have ever made, at first i was very spectacle because of everything you hear in the news about daycare and stuff like that and i swore i was never going to enroll my son in one, so i started working again and i had no one to watch my son that i trusted with so i started looking into daycares and called many and went to look at many but none caught my attention and then i came across Nikki's childcare here on yelp, so i decided to call her and go take a tour, from the get go i like the way Nikki explained and communicated everything about her childcare and the safety of my son, i like the curriculum, rules, discipline, etc she enforced and now a month later, my son is fullly potty trained, knows all his abc's, is way better behaved, and even knows how to use a pencil. I will never get tired of telling Nikki and Vanessa thank you for always helping and doing the best they can with my son and i will definitely be recommending Nikki's childcare to my family and friends read more

Nikki and I have worked together at a preschool together. She is kind, patient and makes you feel very welcomed. We also became very good friends. Now that I became a mom and a first time mom. Bringing my baby to her daycare I was super nervous. But she makes you feel very comfortable. She also will send you pics, and updates of your child. When I picked up my baby she seemed very happy. Nikki will provide you a daily chart on how your child did, how many times they ate and went to the bathroom. She is Also is very adorable then many other daycares I looked at. read more

Our daughter was going on spring break and the child care we would normally bring her to was completely full. We had to find a place we liked and felt comfortable with in just a few days. Luckily my husband came across Nikki's Child Care, set up an appointment to check out the place. when we arrived love how it is located on a cul de sac, and you have to wait until she buzzes you to get in and out of the place, she has cameras all over. Our daughter was comfortable with Nikki as soon as we got there. And Nikki was very flexible with the days and hours we needed. The place is clean and you can tell and feel the love she has for the kids. She sends home a daily report consisting of activities they completed for the day, including their meals and nap times. Our little one was there for a week, and goes back to school now, and as I was driving her to school she spontaneously said, "Mom I miss Ms. Nikki and Ms. Lucy, I'll go back there when I don't have school right?" Oh yes! We just found our new child care for her days off from preschool! read more

My daughter has been attending Nikki's Child Care for almost 2 months now she absolutely loves it.Miss Nikki is very sweet and has a lot of patience, she is really flexible when it comes to choosing which days you would like your child to attend.Also Miss Nikki is in constant communication with me throughout the day about my daughters activities which gives me a peace of mind while I am at work. I am so grateful that I found this safe and secured daycare for my daughter. read more

My 2-year-old son has been with Miss Nikki for a month now, and we were so nervous to have him in out-of-home care. Nikki responded to my inquiry immediately, answered all of my questions, met with us multiple times, and worked with us to meet our scheduling needs. My son had a hard time adjusting, and Nikki was understanding, reassuring, and comforting both to my son and to us. She sends photos and texts throughout the day, and communicates very openly. She was able to get my son to nap even on the very first day, and works with him to decrease pacifier use, which is one of our goals. He is now bonded and engaged with Nikki and the other children. Her child care is spotless, light and welcoming, tons of fun toys inside and outside, and (this was critical in my selection) very secure. The home is surrounded by a tall wall with cameras, and parents must be buzzed in and out. I highly recommend Nikki's Child Care! read more

This is my son's first time at a daycare so it was rough the first couple of weeks and Nikki did everything she could to try to make it feel like home for him. I was very uncomfortable with the idea of leaving my son at a daycare but Nikki would send me updates and pictures throughout the day to let me know how he was doing and that put me more at ease about everything. He was also having a hard time staying asleep during nap time and Nikki would try EVERYTHING she could to make sure he got his rest. Now he is sleeping through nap time! She sends home a progress sheet to let you know how much they ate, drank and even used the bathroom throughout the whole day. The daycare has multiple cameras everywhere and even has 2 locked entrances so not just anybody can come in. The daycare inside and the outdoor play area are always clean. I love the curriculum she has and also the rules she applies to all the children. My son loves coming to Nikki's daycare and now he even waves goodbye to me when I drop him off. I would recommend this place to anybody looking for a person who is going to care and nurture for your child like one of their own. Nikki's daycare is honestly one of the best out there. Thank you Nikki for everything! read more

My daughter has been attending Nikki's Child Care for about a month now and she absolutely loves it. She is an ex preschool trying to start her own preschool . She is very sweet and has a lot of patience. Miss Nikki has affordable prices and is willing to negotiate with parents who are on a budget. She is really flexible when it comes to choosing which days you would like your child to attend. Nikki also keeps me updated throughout the day on my daughters progress (which I love) it really helps with parents who worry about being away from their child. She puts that to ease. My daughter talks about her all the time at home and all the arts and crafts she does with Miss Nikki. My daughter learned how to write her name within two weeks . I have absolutely nothing bad to say about Miss Nikki she is great with my daughter and I would recommend her to anyone who's looking for affordable child care. read more
