Country Cottage Kiddie Care - Indianapolis IN Licensed Home

Absolutely NOT... Do not let this mentally abusive women torture your poor children. I was hired back in July when her old director was fired, which had written a previous comment and all the facts are TRUE. This women is so mentally and emotionally abusive to these poor children. She screams and yells, yanks them around puts them in the bathroom for punishment, which now explains why a little girl was always scared to go to the batbroom, unless I was standing at the door. I physically watched her lock a child in her laundry room closet, childs mother picked up, her pants were soaked as the child peed herself in fear. She also yanked this child off of a stool to the point of hurting the child, but then flipping it to say oh she fell off the stool. But then, how unprofessional tells all the parents how terrible this child is,and she dismissed her from the daycare, when in all reality Jennifer the physco scared this child to these behaviors, as her mother REMOVED HER AS HER CHILD WAS NOT PROPERLY CARED FOR WHILE UNDER HER CARE, and is now doing great at her new Daycare...Negative, I witnessed so much abuse to these poor children in the 6 months I was employeed. Would NEVER take my child there, not even with her new employee and she condones and supports Jennifers terrible behaviors against children. She has no CARE NOR COMPASSION its all FAKE. She has even expressed to me "she doesnt even like children!" She does it for the money and the publicity. She is an alcoholic pillhead, which one of her clients is her prescriber.. Conflict of interest huh??? She doesnt feed kids when they are hungry, she limits there food leaving the kids still hungry.
Her sewing room, that she uses for babies is terrible and not suitbale for children. She smacks there hands, yells and yells at the kids to not touch her stuff.. This license for her sewing room definitely needs revoked. I have seen so many sewing needles present on the floors, so unsafe.
She leaves babies in playpen to just cry and cry.never once in 6 months seen her physically hold and feed a baby a bottle and wonders why both the babies currently there keep having ear issues and need tubes. Look at the facts people. Im telling you, as a mother of 3, DONT DO IT..
Refuses to turn heat up to keep children warm stating "gas prices are to high!" She is a lazy scumbag. Takes older kids to her home to watch the babies while she lays in her living room, kicked back in her recliner. Most unprofessional person I have ever met.

DONT let this evil person convince you she is a "good" childcare provider as she is not and will now have another open DCS case against her Childcare..

My name is Dylan. I was very skeptical about the idea of daycare in the past. My wife and I have tried 2 other daycares and they were flat out awful, but we desperately still needed child care. We were referred here by a friend, so we gave it a chance. Best thing we ever did. Jennifer McNulty (the owner) is the sweetest soul you will ever meet and my daughter is obsessed with her, all she does is talk about her "Ninny" on the way to daycare and jumps out of my truck so fast she doesn't even want to give us a hug & kiss goodbye lol. Ms. Reid (an employee) is also the most patient, calm, caring & devoted young lady I have ever met as well. I trust these 2 women with my child more than my own family. Jennifer has gotten my daughter to do things that my wife and I could not too! (Try new food like tuna, veggies, etc. Potty. Update she is almost completely potty trained, and when she won't go at home we have to say we are going to call Ninny(Jennifer) and she gets right on the toilet!) This place is outstanding and I wish I could give it 10 stars! I can't say enough if you are hesitant and actually want a small, hands on and very wholesome loving daycare please go to here. Its the only place I can 100% recommend without a doubt.

I’m not even sure where to begin with this place. The mental and physical abuse I witnessed every single day was unbearable to watch. Babies were/ still are stuffed with cheap bland oatmeal, and literally thrown into pack in plays while Jennifer McNulty drinks alcohol and takes a nap, literally. They stay in the same diapers they come in too! I’ve seen it all. From 1 year olds being slammed on hard concrete floors, to water being dumped on kids heads, kids being forced to sit in poop for hours on ends in the hot sun, withholding food from them and using it as punishment, yelling and cursing like a sailor in front of the kids, making kids go upstairs unattended and stand in a closet alone with a terrifying animatronic Halloween decoration as punishment etc.
This place haunts me and gives me MAJOR anxiety when I had to start taking a child of my own to an in home daycare. I called and reported this witch to the state and they brushed it off since Ron doyon, a child Care licensing consultant is sucked into believing no abuse is happening and literally will write off Jenny’s citations to cover her a$$! The list goes on and on. She refers to children of color in racist slang as well, N word and all! Absolutely unbelievable this place is still open. Literally notice how she replied to most negative comments in a rude or snarky way? RED FLAG. There was this one sweet sweet girl who I won’t name out of respect for the mother, who would ball her eyes out every single morning after being dropped off, gosh I felt so bad for her because when her mom left, Jenny would then torture her, to the point the 3 year old would be so upset she would throw up.. and Jenny would FORCE her to clean it..
please pray for the trauma these kids endured/ are enduring. If law enforcement sees this you have my full corporation with investigating. There’s a cold cold place waiting for Jennifer McNulty and I hope your center gets shut down. I wish this with every single bone in my body.

Getting my daughter into daycare was a big and scary step. I was abused as a child, and my daughter is my only child..so as you know she is my purpose. Jennifer McNulty (the owner) helped me so much feel at ease and at peace deciding if I wanted my daughter to go here, I chose here and it was been absolutely outstanding to the point my daughter talks about her "ninny" (Jennifer) even on the weekends! Jennifer even bought my daughter a doll that helps you potty train,and promised me that she would get her pottying...and she did! My daughter loves to potty now and is sharing her toys, trying new foods, and all other sorts of amazing things thanks to Jennifer and her amazing staff. I can't say enough, choice this place for your child. It's small and hands on, 1 on 1 with every child just the way I wanted. Kaia (3 yrs. Old) has stunned me with her growth since coming here.

My daughter has went here since she was 3yr old. We had an issue with a previous daycare and had to unexpectedly find a new one. My mother inlaw recommended them, because she used them with another one of her grandkids years ago. I will never take my daughter anywhere else! My daughter is in elementary school now. I still take her here during her school breaks . And also drive an extra 1hr out of my way to do this! I love this daycare! The owner is amazing! She is stern but she loves all her kids like her own!

We love Mrs. Nenny! My children have been coming here for years and she provides exceptional care for all of her little ones. I don’t trust many daycares out there with past experiences that I have personally whitenessed myself. When your children come home and tell you how much they love going to Mrs. Nenny it’s just reassures me that I made the best decision. My children have learned so much over time and we are pleased with the love and care she provides. Not to mention she is always making sure they daycare is sanitized and clean.

If I could give this facility less than 1 star, I would. The owner, Jennifer Mcnulty, is a manipulative, lying, and mentally and emotionally abusive woman. She is greedy and will treat not only your child, but your family like complete dirt if you are child is less than perfect. She can’t handle kids with sensory processing problems, autism, etc. and will make them go into the bathroom or stand in the corner for long periods of time if they simply do kid stuff and misbehave. She also can’t keep a teacher to save her life. She has gone thru many teachers in the time my child was at this facility. I have screen shots and texts of proof of how this woman works, acts, and treats people. Do your research and really listen to these bad reviews people are leaving. 

I was very fortunate to have family look after my daughter until she was just over a year and when I had to look for other care, I was panicked! I never thought I would find someone who I could trust with my little one. I was recommended to check into country cottage kiddie care and I am so happy I did. My daughter THRIVES there and learns every day. It’s the perfect mix of curriculum and fun. And my daughter tells me all the time how much she loves Nenny, Miss Kyla and Miss Reet. We will be so sad when it’s time to go to kindergarten!

My nephew came home from this child care facility with burns on his fingers, that they “didn’t know how he got.” They talked poorly about him to other parents. He was always dirty when he got picked up. They constantly harped on him. He cried upon arrival every morning. They are so mean to these kids, disrespectful to families and it’s sad, because a lot of the kids that are mistreated are ones that cannot speak up and advocate for themselves. My nephew will not be returning. They claim to love kids here…. They don’t. They love the money and the leisure of staying home to run a child care- the way they treat the kids is disgusting and sad.

I love this place. I started going when I was 7 weeks old until I went to kindergarten but I still see and love my Mrs Nenny. She gave me my nickname that has been with me for 15 years. She never made me do anything I didn’t feel comfortable with. I love the community they have there. They both taught me a lot. I have a lot of fun memories of being there.

This place needs to be shut down. The mentally abuse these children!! They withhold food from 2 and three old's if they do not act like a 6 year old. They cuss and yell in front of the children. They talk poorly to parents about other parents and their children. Kyla and Jenni are the most unprofessional people I've ever met. One day I pulled up to get my children and they were laying out in lounge chairs facing away from the children who were on the playground!!! The establishment is filthy, Smells, and my children were disgusting when I picked them up. My kids would be left in the same diaper I dropped them off in. I am reporting them to the state and currently have a lawyer involved due to alleged physical abuse by Jenni and Kyla. I pray this place is shut down!!!! Do not send you children Here!!!

This place does not even deserve 1 star. Owner and teachers are known for Mental Abuse. I removed my child back in October due to abuse pertaining to food and humiliation in front of other kids and making him change himself when only 3 or telling him he has to wait until they are ready and letting him know he will get a bad rash that hurts. Beware of this place there is a lot more than this going on.

There are way more kids than they are allowed and the place smells of nasty diapers constantly
