Audrey’s Nest

After about 1.5 years of having our two children receive the BEST care at Audrey’s Nest, I am very comfortable highly recommending this very special in-​home daycare. Our oldest child received care from 18 months till almost 3 years old when we switched him over to preschool. Our youngest has been at Audrey’s for the last 6 months (since he was 14 months old). For a few months Audrey was looking after both of our very active boys!
Audrey is kind and patient and really takes the time to get to know each child. She is very educated on child development and pays attention to each child’s individual needs and helps foster growth in those areas. Both my kids love going to Audrey’s Nest and I always have felt 100% comfortable with them under her and her assistants care.
We used to live in Oakland 5 minutes away from Audrey’s Nest. We moved to Alameda 7 months ago and never even considered giving up our spot at Audrey’s! It is well worth the commute to know our children are happy and being well taken care of.

My daughter has been going to Audrey’s Nest for a year and has really blossomed here. Audrey is caring, calm and super creative. Her home has lots of fun play areas — inside and out — and is clean and spacious. The kiddos always receive lots of attention and are supported in learning their own way. Audrey gets to know each child and understands their unique personalities in a way that really fosters their development. I know that every day my daughter is at Audrey’s she will have fun, learn, eat well, and feel safe and loved. This is the best feeling for a parent. I would encourage anyone looking for an in-​home day-​care/​preschool to consider Audrey’s Nest!

After looking for several months for a wonderful place for my two year old boy, I was so happy to find Audrey’s Nest. I love the big grassy backyard and garden and fun activities everyday, but most of all I appreciate how Audrey truly «leans in» to support and nurture the children. She is present, warm, kind, creative and gentle. They read books, make homemade playdough, play with water outside, take walks, and more. Her two new staffers seem very caring and engaged. Other daycare’s I visited felt less personal and caring. My son is two and a half. I have no idea what we will do when he is too old for Audrey’s. He often doesn’t want to leave when I pick him up — even after being away from mama for 6+ hours!

My daughter LOVE this place! We started when she was 11 months old and now she is two! Audrey is patient, sweet, and very active with the kids. The back yard is awesome and it is so lovely to see them kids running around laughing and singing when I go pick my LO up. Also there is a playhouse in the back for napping and playing house. We couldn’t be happier with the program and care Audrey provides here.
