Piggyback Rides - Bristol, New Hampshire

I moved from Mass and was scared I wouldn’t find a comparable daycare for my kids. This place has been amazing and my 2 boys have loved it! My 7 year old went for 2 years and still loves to visit from 1st grade when we pick up his 3 year old brother who has also gone for 2 years. They also take him over summer break and he has a blast! The staff are so friendly and communicate anything of importance. The owner Danielle always goes out of her way to make each kid feel special and makes holidays so fun for them! We have seen Santa and the Easter Bunny! She pays attention to each kids wants and I am always so impressed with how much work all the staff put into making every day so special for my kids. Its been so great getting to know everyone they have done their absolute best to accommodate staffing shortages the last few years! Top notch in my book!

We absolutely love this daycare! We had friends recommend it to us about 4 years ago and we are beyond happy they did. Our daughter has been going here since she was about 3 months old and she loves it so much. We had some medical concerns when she was an infant and Danielle and her staff were so helpful keeping a very close eye on her and sending us updates throughout the day. It is so comforting to see how much the staff truly cares about each child and how much attention they give to the kids. It is such a good feeling to have your child come home at the end of the day happy and excited to tell you about everything they’ve learned and can’t wait to go back the next day. Our second child will be starting here soon and we are very excited and thankful that he will get to have the same experience and will learn how to navigate life with the same love and care that his sister received here. Danielle does such a great job running this daycare and we can’t thank her and the staff enough for all they have done for our family!

My husband and I sent our first son to Piggyback Rides in the midst of the pandemic. Our son had very specific health needs that were concerning to other daycares. However, Danielle and her staff embraced our son, kept me updated on his day (above + beyond the typical needs), and worked with us on his ever changing feeding plan.

Since having a second son, we are fortunate to send both our children to Piggyback Rides. I felt very comfortable and happy to send our second, because of how much our first son loves going to Piggyback Rides. Even before my second son began daycare, Danielle and the staff were always kind to ask about how my youngest was doing and built a relationship with him before he started attending full time. It was an extremely smooth transition.

This facility, like many others in this field, had a staffing shortage during the middle of the pandemic. There have been many key teachers that have stayed, such as Ashley, Riley, and Joanne. They have a strong core team of teachers. Each of them are amazing in their own way. Danielle and her staff have become house hold names, especially at dinner, when my oldest loves to share about his day and looks forward to going back.

Sending both my boys here was a great decision for my family. My boys are learning and growing in a loving and supportive environment.

Our child has attended Piggyback Rides for years. He loves going to school and has grown and learned so much! He has absolutely benefited from their care and will be ready for Kindergarten when it’s time to move on. The staff take good care and are very approachable and willing to chat about my child’s day, needs, etc. As parents, we are very grateful. (Plus they provide all food and the menu is impressive!)

Could not recommend more! Both of my children have attended until they moved to kindergarten. I have never once worried if my children are getting what they need or if they are being cared for appropriately and that's a great feeling as a parent at work! Danielle and her staff are happy, caring and accomodating and treat all the kids as if they were family. The daycare is always clean with new fun toys and centers year round. They do arts and crafts and reading and of course learning every day. If your looking for a spot for your child to go and grow this is the spot!

My son was born in 2020 in the midst of the covid pandemic. When I first spoke to Danielle the infant class was full and we had to place him somewhere else. We had a terrible experience with his first daycare and eventually was able to get him here. We absolutely LOVE it. We have had no issues. Danielle and her staff are kind and they treat all of the kids like they are their own. I have never met someone who works as hard as she does to provide a safe and maturing environment for the kids. My son has flourished here and I will not go anywhere else!

I’ve been sending my girls to Piggyback rides since my oldest was 2, she is now 7. She still asks to go to the center to say hi to Ms. Danielle. My youngest (1 1/2) is having an amazing time there. They work with your schedule as well as teaching the little ones so much. My girls have learned some sign language as well as their colors and shapes. They’re able to interact with the world around them and are well aware of others. I can’t thank Danielle and her team enough for all that they have done to help me over the past 5 years. Not only have they provided amazing care for my children, but they have become friends that I can’t imagine my life without

My family and I are so grateful for the staff and owner of Piggy Back Rides and Slippery Slides Daycare! I have sent two of my children to them and have been overwhelmed by the kindness and compassion they pour into my children. I feel secure leaving them so I can work! Not to mention the fact that they go way above and beyond on many levels 💜
