A true gem - Barbara Ann is incredible! Finding the right daycare provider for my (then) 3-year-old daughter felt like a daunting task—until we met Barbara Ann. From the very first moment, I knew we were in good hands. She is warm, patient, and incredibly attentive to the individual needs of each child in her care. Barbara Ann has a remarkable gift for creating a nurturing, structured, and joyful environment that feels more like a second home than a daycare. My daughter absolutely adored her and looked forward to every single day she spent there. Whether it's engaging in creative arts and crafts, story time, outdoor play, or learning through fun activities, Barbara Ann balances fun and learning beautifully. What truly sets her apart is the genuine love and respect she shows to the children. She communicates so well—not just with the kids, but with parents too. I always felt informed and never had to wonder how my daughter’s day was going because Barbara Ann takes the time to share updates and little moments that brighten my day. It's clear that she pours her heart into what she does, and it makes all the difference. I feel incredibly lucky to have found Barbara Ann, because she isn’t just a daycare provider—she’s a positive force in our child’s life and a true blessing to our family. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your child with the same love and attention you would, look no further than Blooming Buds Daycare. She is, quite simply, the best - which is why our son now attends.

Barbara Ann is such a wonderful childcare provider, we couldn't recommend her highly enough! She strikes the balance between being a warm, caring, home daycare provider, whilst also being extremely professional, organized and top of everything. Our daughter is 20 months old and has been in Barbara Ann's care for the best part of a year. We had been through 3 daycares (yes, 3) prior to finding Barbara Ann, and we have not looked back since. Barbara Ann has worked with us through our daughter's food allergies, which we are extremely grateful for. She is attentive to each child's needs, and gives a detailed report out from the day, always signaling if anything needs attention on the medical or behavioral front. Her space is spacious, warm, and inviting, they often do creative projects, and she also has great outdoor space. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for warm, professional, personable and reliable childcare.

My son was with Blooming Buds from age 3 months until he went to kindergarten. He couldn’t have had a better situation than with Barbara Ann. She has a homey comfortable feel to her space and provides nutritious meals to the kids. As an infant he came home with hand written notes of when he napped, was fed, diapers etc. as a toddler he came home often telling us the fruits and vegetables he ate and now loved and wanted us to buy at the grocery. As an older kid preparing for kindergarten he was fully able to read and write and do math. Barbara Ann had him so prepared that he was reading to the younger kids at daycare. You can feel comfortable with her looking after your kids. She’s a great person and became a good friend to our family.
