Author: Yasmin Grullon Rating: 5/5 Date: 8/29/2024, 2:35:40 AM Review: I was very very nervous about my daughter going into daycare before she could speak but we had no choice. However, I am SO glad we found the Nest Schools Lutz! My “spicy” daughter has flourished there and she genuinely seems to enjoy going. The staff is all very friendly and nurturing. The family style meals are healthy, she is learning independence at mealtime, and it is great not having to worry about packing lunch each day! I love the curriculum even at such a young age. Finally, the leadership is outstanding, friendly, and flexible. Highly recommend! ----- Author: Hadijat Ajayi Rating: 1/5 Date: 5/9/2023, 8:31:04 PM Review: Excellent aesthetic. Great curriculum. The directors hold prejudice. My child was kicked out after four days (two days a week for two weeks) because he opened the classroom door. Teachers were not held accountable for not WATCHING my child and instead my kid was deemed a "safety issue" and was kicked out, despite evident progress he was making..Spoke to the regional director who mentioned families are handled on a "case by case" basis and it's her job to keep all of the children safe, all but of course my son, who paid just like everyone else to be there. . I told her, well I guess I won't recommend anyone who looks like us to the school, but the other kids seem to have fun. She said thank you, they are. They will take your registration fee and then find an excuse to kick your child out. At least if you are not white or fair skinned. But if you're white, GREAT SCHOOL.

Very excellent school. The staff is really good at caring for the kids and actually like teaching them new things academically everyday. My daughter is surrounded by kids that are well behaved and don’t have to worry about any bad kids like other daycares. The kids and all the teachers are interactive with each other and the staff manages the kids as a team. Well organized and good routines to help the kids with everyday life and activities.
I have a very stoic little girl, no easily amused and wise beyond her year! Every time we pick her up she is smiling, so happy and has been thriving! The staff at this location are attentive, kind, loving and professional. I can’t imagine our little girl going anywhere else! Thank you to The Nest in Lutz, Diana and her amazing team!
My daughter has an IEP and The Nest was the only preschool I found that was on top of understanding and making accommodations for her needs. I like the Emilio-Reggio style of education because I wanted a play-based & hands-on approach for learning. As a bonus, they currently have occupational & speech therapists on site, so it saves me having to make 3 separate trips! The directors know each child’s name, there is thoughtful care put into the educational plan & clear parent communication about what the children are learning, and the kids have a great time under their care! I highly recommend!
Working for the Nest has been my greatest joy, the environment is so welcoming and friendly.
One of the most stressful things for me having kids was finding a daycare that I loved and my children loved. I had so much anxiety leaving my daughter with people I didn’t know. But The Nest has become part of my family! They love my baby and my baby loves them. I have been at The Nest for 1 year and my daughter has been in the one year old classroom. Her teachers are phenomenal, calm, patient, and loving and she’s learned so much! I trust them wholeheartedly. My daughter is excited to go to school in the morning and happy when I pick her up. I couldn’t ask for more. I also have a new baby who will be going to The Nest soon too!
I have been attending this school for more than a year, and I love the environment they offer to the children, the teachers always welcome them with a smile and the children are happy to see their teachers. They are offered different activities every day to learn while they play. Parents can see photos of their children in each daily activity they do. The facilities are one of the best and children have the opportunity to learn sign language at an early age, it is impressive how quickly they learn to communicate!
Dear Parents, if you want your child to be safe, educated and in a loving environment, this is the place! I'm a new mom and what was my biggest fear turned into a sigh of relief! My child was struggling to walk, and very shy. Now she is flourishing, running and socializing to the fullest! This daycare is a lifesaver and heaven-sent. The staff are also understanding and super kind. I thank Nest School so much and will always be grateful üôè Sincerely, Solana's Mom
