We took our 3 month old here for a few months before we moved out of state but would have kept sending her if we had stayed in the area. Even with COVID-19 we felt very safe with their precautions they put in place and we knew our baby was being well taken care of while she was there! Everyone there was extremely helpful and nice!
Response from the provider:
Than you so much Jessica, we miss your little girl!

My son was cared for at Robin's Nest from 4 months old to 15 months old. I truly felt like he was cared for everyday and felt a wave of happiness everyday when he smiled reaching out for his teachers at drop off and not wanting to leave at pick up :) Renee and her staff are accommodating, friendly, caring, responsive and professional. Having to navigate through the world of Covid during our time there, I felt safe sending my son back when they were able to reopen as the appropriate procedures were strictly followed. Would highly recommend Robin's Nest, we hope to be back in the future!

We enrolled our 5 year old at Robin's Nest for her remaining Pre K year and summer. This program is fantastic! What a well organized, loving and caring place in a home setting. Renee and her staff communicate very well and I always felt that my daughter was being well cared for.

Our daughter Macie started going here at 7 months old when we moved to the area. This was the perfect mix between a commercial daycare and an at home daycare. The house was built with the daycare in mind so the facility is the perfect setup. Lots of room for the kids to play outside and easy pickup and dropoff. We loved the app they use and the security of having to enter a pin number to pickup or dropoff your child. The app allows you to know exactly what was going on with your child which is so comforting. The staff there is amazing and always made me feel that our daughter was a priority. They are always posting pictures which made my day. Every here really loves what they do and cares about each of the kids. Highly recommend!

I took my daughter there when she was less than a year. Robin's Nest was the first child care that she went to after she was born. They made the transition so easy. I love the app they use to keep parents in the loop. I love their attention to detail. From the cute backpacks they give the kids to the embroidered tag with their name on it for the backpack. No detail too small. We recently moved so we are leaving Robin's Nest. I really wish we could have stayed with Robin's Nest. We will miss Robin's Nest!

We have been a part of the Robins Nest family for over 5 years. My oldest is about to enter kindergarten. We have always been very happy with the care that our children have received. Robin's Nest is a very loving and safe environment. The kids have a great time playing on the playground and running around in the big field. The lunch provided daily is always nutritious and well rounded. There is also diversity among the age groups which allows for enhancement of social skills. We have complete trust in the staff and feel comfortable leaving our kids there.

When we originally looked at Robin's Nest for our 3 month old daughter I was hesitant. I had always intended to get a nanny but was convinced that an outside daycare may be more appropriate for our child. Upon meeting Robin and Renee I was immediately at ease. Their commitment and love for the children at the facility were more than apparent. My daughter has been with Robin since she was three months old and she is now three years old! The daycare resides on the lower level of Robin's house. I really liked this as I felt like Robin was bringing the children into her home and family. Further, her and Renee provide healthy home cooked food for the children for breakfast, lunch, and snack. Robin's backyard compares to nothing else out there. Mostly shaded, she has tons of playground equipment and open field space for running around. My daughter especially loves the neighbor's horse who often comes for a visit in the warmer weather. My daughter is always excited to go to Robin's house and she clearly learns a lot while she is there. At a very early age she knew her numbers, colors, and shapes. I fully believe Robin and her staff are responsible for this. I would highly recommend Robin's Nest for any family who is looking at daycare. Your child will be well- cared for and loved, guaranteed!
