Parent's Testimonials

Molly H.

My son have been going for a few weeks now and I love this school!!!! All the teachers and staff are so nice and loving. One of my friends actually told me about Dolly’s Daycare.  Right now, he goes part time, and I truly, sincerely could not be any more pleased with this facility. The facility is so clean, so organized, so well prepared. Ofsted rates Dolly’s Daycare Good. My son is already improving since being there and I am so glad I found a place to call his forever educational care!

Emily B.

I enrolled my daughter at Dolly’s Daycare when she was 2 years 1 month old. I interviewed approximately 12 child care programs. The process of elimination began with the first phone call. Not only was the first phone call to Dolly’s Daycare pleasant and inviting, but once I entered the building I noticed all of the teachers greeting each child in the hallway by name, with attention given to each child.

Amy W.

As a parent, I entrust my greatest blessing to the staff at Dolly’s Daycare every day, and I am grateful for the loving care and guidance he receives. The teachers and manager look at each child as an individual, with their own strengths and needs. My son has been blessed with awesome teachers who understand his challenges, and handle him with grace. My child has learned so much and continues to share with me the great activities that go on each day at “school!”

Alex M.

There is a noticeable difference in my daughters mood and intelligence after starting Dolly’s Daycare, she is always in a fantastic mood, interactive and stimulated when I pick her up! Her personality has blossomed since her first day and I can tell she and all the other children absolutely LOVE their teacher. I have never seen someone be more patient with a group of small children. She doesn’t seem to get overwhelmed and is just so sweet, gentle and caring with the babies.

Stephanie & Knight

From the moment we walked into Dolly’s Daycare, we knew this was the right place for our sons. We can go to work with full confidence that our sons are in a caring, safe and educational environment. As parents of a picky eater, it’s reassuring that the staff ensure that healthy snacks are given throughout the day. We couldn’t have asked for a better “second family” to guide, teach and love our little boys.

Proud to be part of the Ashford community, offering quality childcare and early education for over 15 years.
