Worst nannery ever. I enrolled my son in September for January's intake.I filled out the documents with the hours I needed. Everything looked perfect and my son would definitely take the hours I needed as they informed me from the beginning that I don't need to worry since my son is one of the first children signed up for the January intake. A week before starting date, they remembered to tell me that the hours I requested are not available and that I should be put on a waiting list. Extremely unprofessional behavior and disorganized.
