Bay Buddies's Reviews

One of the family

As parents, finding the right childcare for our child was incredibly important to us, and we are beyond grateful to have found Bay Buddies Childcare. Aely and Paul are absolutely wonderful, and from the very first day, they made us feel like part of their extended family. Their support has been invaluable not only to our son but to our entire family.

Aely and Paul go above and beyond to create a nurturing, welcoming environment. They provide such a wide range of experiences for the children, from creative activities to learning experiences that challenge and inspire. It's clear they have a deep understanding of child development and always seem to know exactly how to meet our son’s individual needs. Every day, our son comes home excited to share what he's learned and what he's done, which speaks volumes about the engaging atmosphere they’ve created.

We trust them completely—this is not something we take lightly. Their professionalism and care have given us complete peace of mind, knowing our son is in such good hands. They’ve made sure he has the best possible start, not just academically, but socially and emotionally as well. We couldn’t ask for more.

We wholeheartedly recommend Bay Buddies Childcare to any parent looking for a safe, loving, and enriching environment for their child. Aely and Paul truly have a gift for creating a sense of community, and we’re so thankful for everything they’ve done for our family.

Thank you, Aely and Paul, for all of your support. We are so grateful to have you in our lives!

Highly Recommend

I cannot recommend Bay Buddies enough! They are an incredible couple who go above and beyond in caring for the children in their care. From the moment my child started with them, it was clear that they are not only skilled professionals but truly nurturing, compassionate individuals who make every child feel special and loved.

Their creativity shines through in the variety of engaging activities they plan. Whether it's arts and crafts, outdoor adventures, or educational games, they always have something fun and exciting for the kids to do. My child has learned so much while having an absolute blast!

What really sets them apart is their genuine care and attention to each child's needs. They take the time to get to know every child personally, making sure they feel safe, valued, and supported. Their warmth and kindness create a positive, loving environment where children thrive.

It’s rare to find such a perfect blend of creativity, nurturing, and dedication. I truly feel so lucky to have found such an amazing couple to care for my child, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

An incredible childcare provider!

We have been using Bay Buddies since 2020 for our 2 boys and I cannot recommend Aely and Paul enough! What they have managed to create with Bay Buddies is just incredible. The most nurturing environment with so many opportunities to play and learn. They truly create a home from home and our boys have been so happy there.

My oldest son has now started school and I honestly feel that Bay Buddies gave him the best start to his learning journey. A love of reading, the outdoors and children is at the heart of Bay Buddies.

5* childcare in a home from home setting.

A wonderful homely setting, where everyone is made welcome.
my daughter always has so much fun when visiting. Baking, crafts and walks along the bay, no day is the same plenty of learning and adventure awaits.
Aely's experience as a teacher shines through in the day to day activities, and any child in her care is sure to have a wonderful experience.
