To the person wanting to know about Neelam Sadhav/Woolsey St Daycare -- we had a good experience with Neelam. She is loving and warm with the children (and parents!) and takes good care of them. She has a reasonably big /open space and has a box of toys for the children each week. (the toys rotate weekly to keep it interesting for the kids). She also has a yard for outdoor play. We left because she ends her day and hours of care at 3:00, which no longer worked for us. It was our first experience with our son in daycare (he started at 13 months) and I recommend her without reservation.

For those parents interested in a home daycare, I would like to highly recommend Woolsey Daycare in Berkeley. The daycare's director is Neelam, and she is a warm, nurturing and incredibly experienced (+20 yrs) provider. Our son, who is now almost 2, has been with Neelam since he was four months old. In this time, he has developed a close attachment to Neelam, who genuinely gets to know and care about all of the children in her daycare. Neelam focuses on helping children with their emotional development, their social-skills, their self-help skills, and their language. We have been amazed at how much our son has learned, and how much we have learned, too! Neelam is truly amazing - she is an extraordinary caregiver and person - and I can't recommend her highly enough. Please call Neelam directly at 510-848-3432. PLEASE NOTE HER HOURS ARE FROM 7:45-3:00, MON-FRI.

I highly recommend Neelam Sahdev's home daycare in Berkeley, Woolsey Daycare. Neelam is an EXTRAORDINARY caregiver - I can't imagine our son with anyone else! She provides the kids (primarily 0-2 but she takes older kids, too) with a genuinely loving and nurturing environment. She helps them to develop important social skills in a gentle and sensitive way, and she nurtures their intellectual development through music and play. Most importantly, she is so kind and caring that you leave everyday knowing that your child is in the very best hands. Two of Neelam's kids just ''graduated'' to preschools and she has an opening available. Please feel free to email or call me for a reference or call Neelam directly at 510-848-3432. Sascha

I highly recommend Neelam Sahdev and her Woolsey Daycare for any parent seeking childcare for the under 2 age. This is a difficult age to find daycare, and Neelam's is absolutely fabulous!! She is warm, loving, and respectful towards the kids. I have sent 2 children to Neelam, and have never regretted a minute. In fact, they are so excited to see Neelam, they have said Goodbye to me as soon as we got there! She has a great location, just off Shattuck, and a great playroom for lots of dancing and romping. There is also a yard with swings, and a large concrete area for racing scooters, and playing basketball (my son's favorite). She has immediate openings. Call Neelam and you will never regret it. Feel free to contact me for reference Neelam Sahdev, 510-848-3432

I would like to recommend Woolsey Daycare in Berkeley. Woolsey daycare is a home daycare for infants and toddlers. The provider's name is Neelam and she is truly exceptional. She is incredibly nurturing and has a wealth of love and wisdom to offer. She has 20 years of experience and has a deep intuition and respect for the children she cares for. We have come to feel like Neelam is family and feel she has enriched our son's life (and ours) so much. One thing to note: her hours are from 7:45- 3:00. Contact: Neelam, 510-848-3432

My son is moving on to pres-chool and therefore his wonderful daycare provider will have an opening for one kid starting in March. Neelam has cared for our son at her house for almost two years and has been a wonderful second home for him. Please contact her directly at 510.848 3432 - her house is centrally located in Berkeley on Woolsey street, close to Bart and easy to reach from several highways. Please e-mail me if you have any further questions. Contact: anne-catrin

Wonderful family daycare on Woolsey Street has opening two days a week (Monday and Thursday). My son is going Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, and we are trying to help fill the rest of the full-time slot. The provider is Neelam Sahdev, a warm and very experienced caregiver. Her phone number is: 510-848-3432. She provides care between 7:45 am and 3:00 pm, and has 5-6 children. She ideally would like an older child (18 months +). Contact me with questions, or contact Neelam directly. Abby
