I couldn't have been happier with my choice and it has become part of our family. They were super accomodating and supportive of my children's dietary restrictions and only serve 100% vegetarian food made on-site. Securing high quality childcare is hard in Ottawa. I highly recommend!

Wellington is an excellent day care. The staff are 100 % there for the families. They are loving to…read morethe children and are very professional and down to earth. They are supportives to each childs individual needs. The staff are qualified in the study of early childhood education and are registered with the college of ECE's. Most of the staff have been there for 30 to 15 years. This team of people know what they are doing. When the day care had a bowling fund raiser in April 2012 so many families came with children who are currently at the centre and even families whose children have graduated came to support Wellington. What does that tell you about the quality of the child care? Some times when parents arrive at the end of the day their child doesn't want to leave. The team at Wellington love and care for the children like they are their own children. I would highly reccamend this centre for families who are looking for a safe and friendly child care centre in Ottawa.

When my oldest graduated from her daycare she was ready for junior kindergarten. The things we love most about Maria are that: - She makes sure the kids get a lot of outdoor play. - She takes them to many of the parks and green spaces in the surrounding area. - when covid was not a concern she would bring them to playgroups, the museum and on other fun adventures (all within walking distance of her house) - She keeps parents informed by sending pictures almost daily and is happy to give a verbal update at the end of the day - She feeds the kids a variety of nutritional meals which she posts on her board every week - She communicates the schedule of activities on a weekly basis through her message board If you are looking for a structured daycare with the perks and comforts of home for your child, this is the place for you!

Awful experience - first off Becky one of the "ECE" a very untrained unpleasant no experience…read moredealing with or caring for kids before this position ... my son was 6 months old and as I arrived to pick him up Becky was sitting on her phone my son was crying (he hadn't been changed all day ) maybe fed either she sees me outside still continues to text... I tap on the window ...she grabbed him like a rag doll shoved him in his snowsuit as he's screaming she hurt his wrists and feet. Not gentle in the slightest. I complained.. well the next day, I show up early and Becky again on her phone my son is screaming crying and bleeding from his eye ... another kid (BIGGER kid) bit my son in the eye. Becky had 2 children to watch that day. I took my son out and have filed many reports of neglect on Becky ABC covered for her I even moved from the neighbourhood that girl does not deserve to be in the care of a child. On another note, when my son's dad went to pick him up Becky was flirting with my son's dad.... She is an awful person. I would not recommend putting your child in this girl's care she is at this job for the wrong reasons and she is one of their main caregivers And they will cover for their staff at all costs Hence, why it's one of the only daycare that doesn't have cameras for you to watch your kid There was a few staff that wasn't that bad But I would not recommend having Becky as your child's caretaker for the day And the fact that ABC covered for her just shows what kind of garbage company that is

The place is not very big for a party and there is not much time in the party room, but the kids seemed to have had a good time. My son LOVED the Daycare.

I would NOT recommend this daycare at all and it has nothing to do with the quality of care that…read morethe employees provide to the children but rather MANAGEMENT! It is unbelieveable to me why a daycare would want to involve themselves and business in a custody arrangement but this is in fact true! My name is Lynn Murphy and I have requested that the daycare provide a neutral environment for my child NUMEROUS times but management has refused to demonstrate this. I have now named them as the third party in my future custody trial to ensure that they will have to abide by an enforcable court order. If other parents are looking for a daycare that provides more than care I want to ensure that they too have a fair shake and that my experience will be treated no different than future child custody 'battles' that will happen while the child is attending Sandy Hill Child care. This is beyond baffling to me as I would have expected a more professional centre. I will never recommend this centre particularly Susan Boudreau and Reg Morarity to anyone looking for child care!
