Nicole Neely is an exceptional caregiver. She runs an organized, engaging, playful and loving home daycare in the West end. She seeks out and provides endless learning opportunities for children of all ages. She encourages plenty of outdoor time, provides healthy meals and a healthy nap routine. Nicole is THE BEST!!

My daughter attended a home daycare run by Nicole Neely for 2 years. Nicole’s level of care is second to none! She cares for each child as if they were her own and you can just see the love is reciprocated all… around. Being able to leave my child in her care, knowing that every single detail is taken care of and knowing that they are truly safe is invaluable. She will ensure your child is not only safe but happy too. She makes such an effort to enrich lives, expose them to new experiences and teach them how to interact with the world. I know my daughter would not be where she is developmentally

My child attends a home daycare run by Nicole Neely. His days are well structured to include engaging activities, such as arts and crafts, worksheets for older kids, outside time, and lots of playtime in the playroom. I get to see regular photo updates of his time here. I am very confident in the quality of care that my child receives from Nicole and I believe it's given him good prep for kindergarten!

Our family loves The Kid’s Place! The staff are amazing; they love and care for the kids as if they are their own! The Admin team of Cheryl & Jackie are fantastic too and you can’t leave out Bonnie- she ensures that everyone is fed healthy & tasty meals.
