Nanny's new Beginnings Childcare

"We have had a great experience with all the staff. Both of my kids (4 and 2) have attended from infants. They have always been loved and well cared for during are time at the facility. Most kids have been there for several years with both of them."

"I appreciate the positive reviews. There are parents who are still there that truly have a positive experience. And there are parents that are stuck there because of the lack childcare in the area. And cannot leave a negative review as their children are being taken care of there still My reviews are getting reported and taken down. I actually don’t understand; if they didn’t like my family while there, why would they want to bring families like mine into their facility in future. A family willing to take their three year olds very articulate description of being yanked so hard it made them cry by a provider over the denials of the provider. When the child is making up a story, they are hesitant and have to think about what happens next. Instead of saying, “[Provider] hurt me; she grabbed my arm like this and made me cry.” Then grabs one arm with the other hand and yanks it up aggressively. Just like another reviewer - prior to potty training, we had three instances of coming home in the exact same diaper as the child left home in (we started initialing diapers in the morning after the first time). The provider or manager would be told and it got better for a few weeks, then happen again. The, you will pay for care even during unexpected closures, was taken advantage of during Covid. They would close for weeks due to lack of providers - but the parents were still expected to pay for services not rendered. Even though the state was providing assistance specifically for child care providers. I have requested to view the video feed previously and was denied as this was a live feed only. My child was a problem child for them. A problem we never witnessed ourselves in multiple venues and environments. Parents are not actually allowed in the classrooms. We believe we finally figured out, they have a time out function for discipline, but do not think it was used effectively. One provider identified that our child screamed at her for requesting to use utensils. That’s it. If my child screams at me - they are immediately removed from the area until they can be respectful and identify what they did wrong. It’s swift and immediate. You do not get attention for bad behavior in our house. If a provider allows disrespectful behavior and thinks arguing or negotiating with a three year old will make them behave, then yes, the child will run all over them. Talking to them in a baby voice only increases the tone that they do not need to be respected from the child. Another provider accused my child as being an abuser and never having the support of the parents. I have all the documentation of communication back and forth of all the things we have tried in order to alleviate the problems they seemed to be having. Only one was increasing the amount of exercise the child was getting as when we talked to the facility - “the children hadn’t been outside in months”. I get it, it’s too hot. But when your facility is SO small for that many kids - children that are higher energy will need more activities than just play centers. We took our child to doctors, specialists, other providers, and psychologists. Those who were local asked about the facility, and when told it was Nanny’s, they responded - get them out of there. My child had had nightmares for 6 months plus. They came home with scratches and bruises from other children but we were never told about any incidents other than what our child had done. Crying every.single.morning. About having to go there. Extremely drastic behavior changes from what we saw vs what they saw. I should have put it all together, and I feel that daily. I failed as a parent to see that the problem was not my child. My child is in a new facility and has had zero issues since. If, as a business, you need to get your employees and a handful of parents (out of a potential 76) to leave positive reviews, then maybe you do have issues. Why don’t you ask the other parents how you can do better? And blocking negative reviewers on FB to remove negative ratings is just petty."

"My son has been attending Nanny’s for about a year and half or more and we have never had an issue. He started in the toddler room and is now in the twos and threes class. This daycare has lovely caring childcare providers. Angie and Liz are amazing and my son adores them. My son is quick to talk in in the morning and hugs Ms. Maddison every time he sees her. This entire place is caring and kind and they all adore the children that they care for. By far the last place that would hurt children. Take the other false allegations with a grain of salt."

"I am speaking on my own experience. Others are entitled to their own opinion; however, claiming that the owner/teachers hate children is an inaccurate statement. Additionally, making fun of someone’s pronouns because of your bad experience (whether accurate or not) is uncalled for and downright disgusting. My daughter has been attending NNB for about 3 months in the infant room (currently 10 months old), and LOVES all of the staff. She follows them around like a puppy. When picking her up from daycare, she reaches back to Angie/Liz with hopes that they pick her back up. I have not seen any sign of neglect or abuse. In fact, it’s just the opposite. Jessica is also amazing! She isn’t even the teacher for the infant room, but shows so much love for my daughter and the other kids. Overall, I was hesitant in enrolling my daughter in Daycare because of my distrust for other people watching my kid, but the staff here is so wonderful and helps set my worries aside. They even send my infant home with crafts during holidays. It is wonderful!"

"My daughter attended here for 2 months in the infant room. I withdrew her after multiple issues of neglect. There were instances where her diaper was not changed for 3 hours at a time, not fed for 4 hours, and left crying in a crib hungry and with a dirty diaper. The last incident that called for immediate withdrawal is when I walked into the infant room and found her placed alone in the corner of the room by herself crying as if she was put in time out or being punished. The teacher stated she put her there so she could use the restroom. There are plenty of places to leave a child such as a crib, jumper or on the floor playing.. not in the corner by themselves all alone. My 9-month-old daughter's behavior changed drastically the 2 months she was in this facility. This is not a place suited for child development or the ability to thrive and progress milestones. Simply, this facility is a place for basic survival. I do not recommend as there is no proper oversight and accountability from the director and parents concerns are not welcomed but rather excused."
