Reviews of Dutch Village Road Child Care Centre (Kindergarten)

Ashley-Rose

My child has been attending DVRCCC for a few months now and is definitely thriving. He had never been cared for by anybody outside of family so I was worried about how both he and I would cope. Rose answered all of my questions, explained the process of getting him started, and is always readily available if we need anything. She made the transition into daycare quick, easy and painless! The employees are very attentive and caring, and I get a comprehensive daily rundown of activities, restroom visits, attitude/behavior, and everything eaten. I never thought my child could nap on a mat on the floor, but he’s never had a problem there! The food and snacks provided are great, and the menu is posted weekly. They get plenty of time outside in a private play space, and they encourage independence (self dressing, serving themselves food) which I greatly appreciate. Friday’s are extra special because they attend yoga and music classes. The door is always kept locked and a staff member will do a visual check before letting you in. They have a paper system of checking in and out where you can advise if somebody other than yourself is handling pickup that day. You also fill out a form where you advise them if anybody other than yourself is allowed to do a pickup. I’ve introduced my in-laws so they know the process and the caregivers recognize them, and each time they gently remind us that ID and double checking will be required, and when in doubt they will call a parent to confirm. I don’t have any concerns about my child’s security while at DVRCCC. My child spends a lot of his time with Josie, Courtney and Ashley and they are very caring, patient, understanding and fun! When we have a rough drop off, my son gets the individual attention he needs so I can leave and know he’s in good hands. I would highly recommend DVRCCC to anybody looking for a quality daycare provider in HRM. Thanks, Ladies!

Never! Never! NEVER!!!! Place your child in their care! They have on several occasions allowed my daughter be removed from their care facility by people who are NOT ALLOWED to pick her up! They would knowingly allow someone who is not her family OR guardian and had written documentation expressing that this man was not to pick her up. The staff was indifferent to the whole situation. Completely unprofessional.
