Ottewell Daycare & After School Care

In my child's experience, the off-site location within St. Brendan school is mind-numbingly boring and manned by elderly, unsympathetic staff that enforce stillness and quietness rather than encouraging play and engaging with the children. The suggestion that my child would have to return to this location literally brought him to tears. Leaving this daycare was the best decision.

Under their care"

Ottewell Daycare has maintained a high professional environment and accomadate to all our needs. Very respectful to the kids and all our kids enjoy the time they spend there making friends and interacting with the staff. Thanks so much!

I've been taking my kid to Ottewell for a while now and you just can't beat how friendly and kind the staff are. My son always raves about how much he likes it there. Well done to Ottewell Daycare for such a great service!

Had a close family friend share their experience with this daycare provider. I was shocked and disappointed by the lack of professionalism, and openness! In a business that is supposed to help shape young people for the future I find is disturbing that they would cave to a bully and leave a family strapped for child care with next to no notice.

Ottewell daycare is one of the most loving and caring daycare I have ever dealt with. They are very understanding and accommodating for children with special needs. They go above and beyond teaching all the children about understanding special needs kids.10/10 highly recommend!

I love this daycare the staff is very caring and it is always clean and organized. My child is always happy to go to daycare and I feel confident and secure about him attending this facility. They are like a second family to him.

Ottewell daycare has been a second home to my two children the last year or so. Management has made it seamless for our transition from a dayhome to a daycare.. even went above and beyond and helped my one son who was very anxious about going to school by making him at ease.The employees there care for my children and more importantly show love and compassion towards them. I have nothing but positive things to say about this centre!

While under daycare “supervision”, we found out that another child had created an online social media profile for my 6 year old son. He said the profile was complete with video and pictures, but we’ll never know the true nature of the content (he didn't know the login information). I then discovered that the online screen time allowed at the center was poorly enforced, and kids were left for hours at a time to surf the internet, devoid of parental controls or any real supervision. I immediately brought this issue up to management who, to my knowledge, did nothing to uncover the unauthorized social media account, didn't implement parental controls, and essentially ignored the issue (which violates user age minimums). I had to bring the issue up again after my children repeatedly had nightmares from the horror content they saw older children watching. Sadly, I don't think management or staff care much about the children under their care or the parents, for that matter.

Such an amazing center with amazing teachers! We moved our children over to Ottewell when teacher Courtney left another center. Amongst other reasons, teacher Courtney makes this Center what it is. Thank you for all your hard work, Courtney.
