Nursery School Diaries
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android
Life as a nursery school teacher can be tough, but it's a rewarding job. What kind of little shenanigans will you be facing? Interact with the kids, and you might just become closer to their respective guardians.
Cadell doesn't know how to stand up for himself. Everyone pushes him around, even his own son! His ex-wife, friends, and parents all think that he's not assertive enough. This is a huge win for Jack because he can make his dad buy him everything he wants.
With a large age gap between them, older brother Aeron doesn't know how to interact with his little sister. Even though Linette wants to play with her brother, Aeron thinks toys are way too childish for him to be touching.
Due to certain circumstances, Barry adopted Charlie. He may be a young single parent, but that won't stop him from trying his best to raise Charlie. Even though Barry is energetic, and his son is reserved, the two get along well. They bonded over their mutual love for superheroes.
Gareth is a magician who is taking care of his niece, Nia. He often acts crazy and pulls childish pranks on people. Nia, on the other hand, sees her uncle's magic tricks way too often that she thinks it's unimpressive. Sometimes she has to remind her uncle to stop being so weird.
Wynn is a fellow teacher who'll be there to aid you in class! He's patient, and he knows how to handle kids well. Maybe... just maybe... you can be more than colleagues with him.

I haven't played much yet, but I was a preschool teacher for a year and a bit, I really miss those kids. This really healed that part of me. <3
Some of the class aspects are pretty similar to real life, but the age and writing level of the kids suspended my disbelief a little.. Though I understand it is hard to gauge without teaching yourself.
I taught one 4 year old who could write sentences, but he was like a god to the other kids XD they would ask him to write them stuff like "poop".
Thank you for this sweet game, I'd love to make something with a similar premise but I'd hate to copy too much of your work by mistake!!
A very lovely and unique game. Thank you!!
Psst! If you are interested, can we have more Otome like games? I love this game even tho I didn’t played it yet! (I will play when I have time) And I like all the characters, they are so cute and have interesting dynamics!
I loved them all, didnt expect to love Cadell as much as I did! He was so sweet <3
this is so cute and funny omg. Jack's crush on Nia is comedy gold. "Nia. Hug me?" with that smug little smirk on his tiny face LMAO and then Nia's just like "No." its so cute lol
also OMG Barry matchmaking Nia and Charlie LMAO "please take my son. i give you his hand in marriage." plsss
Wynn is my ideal type. <333 I love this game!
This is so cute omg
Anyone else have a huge soft spot for kids, even the "mean" kids are adorable. I think I like talking to the sweet babies more than their guardians tbh.
It was a decent game if you're looking for a way to waste a few hours, not the type of game you'll probably think of again once done playing. There were a few little things that really annoyed me. Examples below, but they're all minor and it's still a decent game. The skip feature works well too when going for other routes, although there's still a lot of clicking to get to the 3 unique scenes each route has.
In order to fit the kids in the screen they are at adult waist level, making them look like they're floating, and they have stump legs with no feet.
The kids are described as toddlers and talk at roughly a young 3 year old level (which some people call toddlers), and yet somehow these kids can write entire sentences? The letters are clearly designed to make it look like kids wrote them, spelling errors and scribbly writing but having worked in childcare that's beyond 5 year old writing.
Some lines are really weird and random, you'll have just met someone and start asking super personal questions. At one point you go out for a coffee with the other daycare worker and he mentioned punishing the kids and your immediate thought was "He's not hurting them, is he?" Why is that where your brain went to when he's only ever been kind?
On Friday evening you're told to work on Saturday and were given no notice, somehow all the parents already agreed to this before you even were asked. On Sunday evening the daycare staff asks the parents to take the Monday off work and they all do... does no one have a life outside of daycare here?
LOL i like to just think of em as smart smart super kids or smt be creative lol
This game is so cute and fluffy! I loved it and grew attached to the cast of characters almost immediately. I'm not sure how the endings work, but I got Cadell on my first play through and fell in love! I was a bit disappointed that we weren't actually going to see the date, but I still loved this game! I definitely plan on playing more and seeing the other endings!
This game is so cute and I love all the characters I tried to get all the endings but the game crashes way too often and getting the first two endings was already a struggle (android version btw).
DIOS EL MEJOR JUEGO
so I played and got cadell ending, gareth ending and wynn ending but i went back to i think day 5 and tried to get barry and aeron but couldn't do i need to go back further or what?
sigh i wanna rewatch gakuen babysitters for the nth time (i love this gameee)
SOMEONE PUT THEM THE DADS AND BROTHER AND UNCLE OB CHARAICTER AI PLSLS
Does this game have multiple endings?
Eu amei esse jogo!! Me apaixonei pelos personagens e suas características diversificadas. Digo com orgulho, que terminei todos os finais! beijos do Brasil <3
I've played so many mind and soul polluting games here on itch.io, but this game has just completely invigorated me. I feel like I've had a bath of peace and cuteness that has washed away all my sins lol The game is so cute, I'm not even such a fan of children, I felt like Aeron, but they are SO cute that I couldn't resist (apart from Jack who is a real spoiled brat) I'd give anything to play more games like this, to see the dynamics of the relatives with the little ones, the funny and cute moments, I'll just keep all the CGs for the rest of my life in my special folder haha <3
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
AAAAAA I loved this game!! It's so cute TwT all the kids and guardians were lovely.
I'm just a bit confused though because I somehow ended up on Wynn's route when I was trying to go for Cadell and I couldn't find a walkthrough so sobs
I forgot since it has been a long time, but I think you need to focus on Cadell and ignore the rest because Wynn is the default ending when the MC doesn't get any guy so he's like a participation trophy XDXD
Ohhhh right, that makes sense. I did go talk with all the guardians because I thought this was one of those games that let you choose at the end and didn't auto put you on a route, whoops! Thank you so much for the help :)
very cute game <3 aeron lover here !!
thank you for playing!
Picked my favorite game so far and figured I'd leave this...
I have a LOT of favorite scenes. ^w^
Looking forward to more.
Ooo do tell me what kind of tropes you like and maybe I could do some in the future!
My favorite tropes, huh? Hoo boy, you opened the worm can. Since I've played all your games and liked so many, this will get long.
Here goes...
Enemies to lovers is probably my favorite. I also like teacher/student and that sort of thing, authority and charge basically. I guess kinda opposites-attract too (Gavin and Kai, Just my Buddy).
My ultimate love interest would be tsundere and bespectacled (Aeron from Nursery, older Gavin), have piercings and/or tattoos (Renan from Pact), long hair (Lance from Prince/Villain), and a twisted personality (Asa from Forsaken), mental health issues (Sam from the Forgive series) or weird hobby (Rapscallions LIs) depending on game type. Weird hobby for a comedy, twisted personality or mental health issues for a darker type of game. My favorite games have some angst but a happy ending, like Mixed Feelings or Prince and Villain.
Even though it's not BL, I actually liked most of the LIs in Rapscallions on Deck. The weird hobbies that want to shoot something, or constantly offer to amputate something make me laugh. Perfect for a comedy.
Obviously, my favorite (lighthearted) game you've done was Nursery, and my favorite character is Aeron. He's like my ultimate type, tsundere with glasses. Gareth is a close second. It's weird but I like opposites like that.
My favorite not-lighthearted game is definitely Forgive my Desires, Father. It's perfectly twisted and dark, but can have a happy ending... Again, that goes back to the authority figure and charge trope, plus mental health issues.
I have a hard time playing it because I get so angry at Gabriel (What if you made a separate what-if game where Gabriel stays a guardian secretly loving and envying from afar?), but in Forsaken I love Asa. I've come to realize how much I like seeing people I like upset (like Asa). In games, I like choosing things that'll show me someone cry or pout; I save screenshots of upset faces in manga too.
Wish you could pursue Theo in Fisherman. His personality is one of my faves.
I really have played all but one of your games. I skipped Rent an Owner since it was more of a concept, but that's the only one.
I probably just shared way more than you wanted, so I'll stop there. I'm an autistic fan that obsessed over your games, so sorry about the essay!
I appreciate the long comment, actually! Honestly, I've been forgetting about tattoos, so I should definitely make more character designs with tattoos. You make me want to make a dark psychological story again XD There are too many light-hearted ones lately LOL
I do love dark psychological ones too! Especially with a little yandere flair.
This game was super cute! Absolutely loved every minute of it. Both the adults and kids are absolutely hilarious.
I got Cadell's ending and he's just the sweetest.
I just finished my first route (Garneth) and I can already say that I'm loving the game so far!
It's cute, light and very interesting! All the characters captivate you and make you want to follow their routes!
The next route I'm going to take is Barry's!
Very cute but I'm confused how I got the teacher ending. I was aiming for Gareth.
It would be nice to have a affection chart
i'm so happy that i came across this game, it's realy cute, i love it honestly, i hope it reaches more people because it's incredibly cute and the characters are hard not to love.
i think the guys i loved most were gareth and cadell, making it hard for me to decide who to go with first, it turned out to be cadell which wasn't disappointed with, his route was cute and i started off hating jack but seeing how the mc impacts cadell's life, i enjoyed seeing him grow into less of a brat and cadell grow into having somewhat of a backbone to say no.
im happy that you liked it ^^
OMG this game was so cute!!! I honestly had such a hard time trying to pick a route, all your characters are just so endearing 🥹. Loved it!!! Thank you for the wonderful game ^^
Is there a walkthrough for this game?
I love this game! It's so cute! I loved gareth's route the most <3
Can't stand Gareth, LMAO,best choice.
Wonderfull game,cute kids AND cute dads ><
I love this game so much!! It's so cute and fun tbh, Its definitely a game I would recommend to anyone!!! 1000/10 :]
Oh. my. goodness, this was absolutely such a fun game and made me giggle a lot!! The guys and children were all so cute, and I just love everything about it, and hearing about the parents were sad too, this was such an entertaining game to play!!
I really enjoyed playing this game, especially Gareth's route! Thank you so much for making this, it's an awesome game! ^o^
Me super try to get everyone's route but still stuck with Wynnie
reject the main guys when they invite you and that probably should work ^^
OOOO thank u
