Everyone is very friendly and helpful. All the kids seem happy and content. I feel comfortable leaving my infant and going back to work.

The Nest School in Clayton has been such a wonderful choice for my family! Not only do they keep me updated on my 11-month-old’s progress, but they also send daily pictures of him learning and having fun. It gives me peace of mind while I work, and the staff is truly amazing and caring.

The teachers and staff show deep care towards the children and we have zero concerns about our son's safety. The programming is excellent and we have even seen carryover of the activities at home. The facility itself is bright, inviting, and clean. Our son is thriving there and we are excited to send our second when it's time.

What I like most about our experience at The Nest is the genuine care and attention our son receives every day. The staff is warm, professional, and truly invested in his well-being. We feel completely confident that he’s safe, happy, and thriving. It’s been so rewarding to watch him grow, explore, and build new skills in such a supportive environment.

All Teachers are extremely attentive. Director and Assistant Director are tremendous with communication. My son is very well taken care of. We’ve had my son in multiple KinderCare locations and Child Care Network. Nothing compares to the Nest.

Our family couldn’t love The Nest Schools more! We’ve been with them since April 2023 and are so glad we found them for our kids. They started at 3.5 years old and 6 months, with our oldest being nervous and needing extra love - which he got tenfold! Now at 5.5 and 2.5 they love their friends, their teachers and all the staff. We can’t say enough about the Clayton Mechanical location!

We really enjoy the Nest. Our daughter LOVES her teachers and they truly go above and beyond to show that they truly care about her. I really love the communication and updates throughout the day - it makes being at work a bit easier knowing she is in good hands throughout the day.

I’ve been absolutely blown away by the level of care and attention my child receives at The Nest School on Mechanical. From day one, the staff has made us feel welcome and part of a close-knit community. The caregivers are warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in my child’s growth and happiness. The environment is clean, safe, and full of enriching activities that keep my little one engaged and excited to go each day. I love how they blend fun with learning—I’ve seen noticeable improvements in my child’s social skills and curiosity. Plus, the regular updates and photos give me peace of mind knowing my child is thriving while I’m at work. I couldn’t ask for a better place for my child to grow and learn!

I love the sense of community. From the Director to teachers (even teachers who my kids don't have) and then even to other parents- they all make it feel like such a welcoming environment. Finding a daycare you can trust is one of the hardest things my husband and I have done, especially after experiencing one that left us constantly worried and guilty for leaving our child there. At The Nest, my kids love going and we feel comfortable and excited to know they are taken care of, they are loved, and they are learning.

The school is run so well. Susan and Tamara do a fantastic job and they are constantly helping around and making sure everything runs smoothly. The one thing I loved about the school is the naturalness of it. Most toys are wooden and the playgrounds are all natural structures. I love having my kids in an environment that isn't overrun by noise making and plastic toys.
