A Nana's Love Daycare

My kids have a blast at daycare, lots of toys, activities and outdoor play. I love that my kids can eat breakfast there. They are always happy to see the staff when we arrive.

My two boys (4 & 5) attended A Nana's Love for a year and it great. The love and care they received was unlike any other daycare we have been with - It was like being part of a family. They were accommodating, understanding and always doing fun activities with the kids. The care providers truly care about your kids. Unfortunately we had to move to new care due to life logistics, but the boys still ask about Nana's and want to go back!

My son goes here and loves it! Amanda is amazing with my little man (as well as other staff) It’s heartwarming to see how comfortable he is here :)

My son has been attending this daycare since he was 5 months old. He is now 5 years old and we love the daycare. The owners and staff treat us like family and I would recommend them to anyone looking for loving, compassionate, and patient care.

My 15 month old daughter has been going to A Nana’s Love since January and she loves it! She has so much fun singing and dancing and has learnt lots there. She adores her teachers especially Miss Schenn who she waves at and blows kisses to at pick up and drop off. I love that they put regular updates on activities, washroom breaks, naps, meals and pictures of her throughout the day in the app so I still get to see what she is doing throughout the day! Love all the staff there!

I wasn't going to post until I saw another reviewer (Amber W talk) about her specific difficulties with the agency due to her kids having developmental delays.Although the end result was the same with my child who is nonverbal and on the autism spectrum, we were treated with a more compassion and understanding even though at the end of the day, they were admittedly unable to provide that extra level of specialized care for my child who unfortunately needs a high level of one-on-one support. We were given lots of time to make other arrangements, which was very appreciated.At the end of the day it's no one's fault, it's just a matter of finding the right fit for your child. And this isn't meant to warn off parents with kids on the spectrum, because no two kids on the spectrum are the same, but parents need to be realistic about their expectations, based on the severity of their child's developmental delays.I want to thank them for taking on my daughter on such short notice and allowing us the time to gain a better understanding of the daycare system, as this was a new experience to us as well.We did eventually find a much better fit and have been doing wonderful since with extra supports in place, etc. Thanks again.

If I could give more stars, I honestly would. I love this daycare!!!! My daughter has been going here now for a few months and it's been fantastic. I was the type of mom who would cry every time I dropped off my child at daycare. Ever since we started at this place i have 0 worries. She is fed well and taken on feilds trips with her friends. The staff is caring and they give my child hugs/attention if she needs it. They have even sent her home with some cute hairstyles. Each of the staff are very involved with all of the kids and extremely patient. I get lots of updates on activities they are doing and also updates on my child. 5/5 stars is very well deserved. :)

I can’t say enough about Nana’s Love Daycare. Everyone is amazing.My kids have been attending for 3.5 years. This is my kids second day family. They would rather be there than anywhere else!Betty and Ken have worked tirelessly to make the daycare a second home for everyone. The staff are wonderful.My kids have gone from toddler room right thru to afterschool care. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my kids! I can’t thank them enough for nurturing my children the way I would ❤️ I highly recommend Nana’s to everyone looking for quality child care…they are 5+stars in my books!

Best daycare around! I have had both my daughters in this daycare for the past 3 years. My oldest daughter is now in OSC in the town we actually live in, but will be returning for the summer months, as they provide the best summer activities and experiences.Throughout COVID when everyone was so uncertain of things, they went over and above to implement strict procedures and ensure the safety of everyone. They treat my children like their own. My girls LOVE going to daycare daily. I would hands down recommend this facility to all my family and friends.

Parents beware… The owners, Betty a& Ken, do not care about the well-being of your child. Their bottom line comes first, period. While most of the staff are wonderful, there is a particular member – who is quite old-school in her childcare ways. She constantly complained to the assistant director and other staff about my children. My children went from happy-go-lucky & outgoing boys to introverted and unhappy. They started doing things I had never seen them do prior to starting at Nana’s Love; they began hitting themselves when upset, they would hit their own faces & hit their heads off walls/floors. They began hitting the top of their hands when I would say “no” to them – this is NOT something I ever did to them, so it was very concerning to see. All behaviors I had never witnessed until they started at Nana’s Love. They cried for months straight at drop-off. They are so understaffed they aren’t able to spend quality time with children who require a bit more engagement. When we started, I let the staff know my boys were born pre-mature & have some speech/development delays (nothing formal, just what I had notice). While Amanda did her best to work with our boys & create ways to help her staff interact effectively with our boys, it was not enough due to the high staff turn-over and severe staffing shortages. My children constantly came home in wet clothing, with filthy hands and face, dehydrated, hungry , sun burnt and sad.After approx 8 months of being with this daycare, & never once meeting with either the owners or with Angie (executive director) – on August 15 I received an email advising me they would be terminating our childcare service agreement effective August 31. I was told the level of care needed for my kids wasn’t something they could accommodate. Not ONCE prior to this did anyone tell me how awful things were for my boys. No one ever let me know they were considering terminating our agreement. I am a first-time mother and have no past experiences with daycares so this was so shocking to me. I went right in to speak with Betty directly and she told me verbally, “we were by no means kicked out” and that they would “work with us until we could find appropriate care for our boys”. During our talk, Betty kept referring to our children as “disabled” and “handicapped”. Let me be clear, at this point our children have no formal diagnosis as it is a very lengthy referral process – if they even receive a diagnosis. After I left, my husband called and spoke with Betty – he asked her if this came down to money and she said yes and then we asked that if we paid more, if we could stay (we feared another rough transition into a new facility) and she said yes – we emailed her asking her for a quote on what that extra cost would look like. She did not respond. I have an active application our for funding for an aid with FSCD – and anyone who knows FSCD knows this is a very long process as well. On Tuesday August 23rd - at drop-off - I was speaking with Amanda about a path forward when all of a sudden, out of nowhere, Ken comes in (who I had never met with, who had surely never spent any amount of time with my boys) came in, with zero compassion/understanding - let me know that after the 31st we were no longer welcome in their facility. I left the facility in shock & tears. I returned an hour later and pulled my children from their care. Upon leaving, every staff member who interacted with our boys (except the one older lady) came to say they were so sorry to hear what had happened and that they loved our boys and were so sad to see them leave. Everyone let me know that this was NOT their decision.I have since found care at another facility. After 1 week my children (now 2.5 years old) have fully adjusted. My boys are napping 1.5+ hours daily and eating the foods they provide. They are coming home happy & talking more & more every day.The point of my review is if you notice changes in your child DO NOT IGNORE THESE CHANGES
