"Alivia was in Ashley daycare (Aster Meadows) for three years. She totally enjoyed it, all the outside activities and of course inside learning to print and doing all sorts of crafts were great. Also there circle time. And reading books all helped in the process for kindergarten She learned a lot in the time she was there, to print her name also her kindergarten teacher told us that her drawings are over the top for her age. We are very thankful for all the one on one time each child received and the encouragement of doing things that maybe they felt they could not do.
I would recommend Ashley’s daycare for any child to attend.
Ashley was very nurturing and kind to all the kids.
Thank you Ashley

"My daughter started with Ashley prior to receiving her license and was with her for two years. We had some very poor experiences with daycares before Ashley and I was starting to think I would never find anyone that I felt safe leaving my daughter with. However, we could not be happier with the time we have known Ashley, there is nothing negative I could ever say, she helped my daughter through some emotional times and was there for us however she could be. She was like another mother for my baby girl and the bond she has with all of the kids is truly incredible. For me to list everything that made us happy I would need to take an entire page, we are so sad she is leaving Nanaimo but so excited for her to continue doing what she loves and is amazing at. Highly recommend Aster Family Meadow Family Childcare and wish my son could experience all that Ashley offers."

"I met Ashley in 2014 when I was looking for a daycare for my 2 boys ages 4 and 1 at that time. She provides a warm and nurturing environment with a good balance of free play and structured activities. She is extremely flexible and accommodating in meeting the needs of the children at their development stage. She follows the parents lead with potty training, sleep schedules, soother weaning etc. My youngest has been with Ashley for over 2 years and I have been nothing but extremely happy with her care."

"It is my pleasure to write a recommendation for Ashley Wells, in regards to caring for your children.
We had the pleasure of first meeting Ashley, when she started her daycare in Nanaimo in 2014. At that time, our son was only 11 months old, and I was just returning to work from my maternity leave. He was a baby, and I wasn't sure how he was going to handle daycare. Within a few weeks, he had developed a wonderful bond with Ashley, and always smiled and hugged her. She was sensitive to his needs and encouraged him. He blossomed under her care. She continued to be his childcare provider for two years.
Ashley is easy to talk to. She is warm, open and genuine. She took our concerns seriously and engaged in a professional manner with everyone. Her lesson plans were very clear and diverse and centred on learning through play. She made our son feel special every day. She always planned activities for the children in the daycare, and really encouraged outdoor play- which I believe is very important. She planned different "theme" days, for the children; which our son enjoyed so much.
I would not hesitate to have Ashley care for our son in the future.. I wish all the best in the future.
If you would like to discuss anything directly with us, we would be happy to do so."

I honestly cannot say enough good things about Ashley. She saved us from an unsafe daycare situation and went above and beyond to ensure the transition went smoothly. Not only that, but when she decided to move, she helped us find a great replacement, all in the midst of having a new baby and selling her house!
Connol has learned so much during his stay at Aster Meadow Childcare and he always loved going to daycare each day. I can't understate how huge it is to have a place your child wants to go each day, especially to two parents who work full time and who have had their child in daycare since 11mo. old. I could always rest easy knowing he was in the best hands and that Ashley world care for my son like she would her own children.
Ashley maintains excellent communication and is very flexible and supportive. I would never hesitate to recommend her (and have done so on many occasions.)
Connol loves her and we will miss her so much!"

"My son, Ethan, has been with Ashley at Aster Meadow Family Childcare since the summer of 2017. Ashley's warm and welcoming personality made Ethan's first experience with daycare so positive. He had never been away from family when he started at age three and half and we were a little nervous for him, but we knew Ashley was the right person to support him in his daycare journey.
Ethan absolutely loves his days at Aster Meadow, whether it is playing outside, learning about a variety of subjects, doing crafts and drawing, or interacting with the other children. Ashley's child lead learning is a big hit with all of the kids.
My daughter will now also be attending Aster Meadow this coming summer, as Ethan will be going off to kindergarten this year. I know Lexie will enjoy her time there as much as Ethan has over the past 2 years.
I would recommend Aster Meadow to anybody looking for an educational, warm, and outdoorsy daycare. We could not be happier having chosen Ashley."
Thanks!!

My Daughter attended Daycare with Aster meadows for about 2 years, It was our first experience with a licensed childcare and it was nothing short of amazing! She loved every day spent with Ashley and all her friends, We always had a positive experience with Ashley. Khloe was able to grow a lot while attending Aster meadows and learned a lot of skills she needed to move on to kindergarten. Since she has gone on to kindergarten she still continues to talk and ask about Ashley and loves any chance she gets to visit again. I would highly recommend Aster Meadows to anyone looking for child care in Campbell river.
