My son started in the infant room & is now in the twos with Miss.Monica & he loves her. He comes home everyday talking about her & trying to teach me the new letters & numbers he learned.

So I could’ve wrote a review a long time ago but I decided to wait because I knew my daughters time here was coming to an end I have nothing but great things to say about this daycare. My daughter was there since she was 10 months old if I was not leaving for another state she would stay here as long as possible every single staff member has been nothing but great with care for her. They have been very attentive towards her and especially with concerns I was having with her development they made sure they were on top of telling me how she has been doing and giving me advice on things that might help her.I would recommend this daycare to anyone.and a special thank you to Ms. Roe who always shows genuine concern in checking up on how things were going for us.We will miss you guys and if we ever come back to Virginia we will definitely be back to see you !

I tried this daycare after my daughter’s previous sitter had to relocate. It seemed at first to be an okay daycare. However, on the first day that I went to take her here, I was greeted by the director, Ericka Campfield, who was unaware that she was even coming in that day so naturally nothing was prepared. Additionally, over the next few days, my daughter was clearly uneasy about wanting to return. She cried everyday that I tried to drop her off. One day while I was working, I received a call that she had gotten sick during lunch and threw up all over herself. This was strange because she had never done this before. I truly believe that she was upset and couldn’t calm herself down. I was told over the phone that I needed to come and get her within the hour. However, I explained to the director that being that I worked quite far, it would take me about an hour and half to get there. She rudely told me that an one hour policy existed and that I need to find someone else to get her if I couldn’t in that timeframe. Needless to say, my husband and I made the decision to remove our daughter from this location and notified the facility the next day. On the last day of care, I arrived earlier than usual in case I needed to do paperwork and discovered that my daughter was sitting at a table by herself looking around while the other kids were playing with the staff. My child has a speech delay and I was ensured that she would be included and that this facility had inclusive care for all children’s needs. So it makes me wonder if she was treated poorly during the weeks she was in their care thus throwing a fit everytime I dropped her off. I would not recommend this faculty to anyone and I’m surprised they haven’t had several social services violations or been shut down completely by now. Also the ratings for this company aren’t accurate as the first rating is given by Ericka campfield who is the director of the facility.

My kids were coming home sick every week with numerous illnesses from pneumonia to strep throat for 4 months. When one of them contracted hand, foot and mouth disease without notice from the Director of an outbreak, that was the last straw. They need to invest time in better cleaning standards. I would not recommend this daycare to anyone

Place is disgusting and smells really bad, staff are nice but Ericka the owner is very nasty and has a negative attitude towards children and staff I don’t recommend sending your children to this daycare. Never in compliance to state ratios and doesn’t have a lot of staff so it’s hard for the children to get the correct attention they need. Has favoritism towards certain staff members and overall a very unprofessional place

My little girl loves her daycare, she looks forward for school every day! Awesomeness is what Amberley Child Care is. Great service!!!

My son has been attending Amberley Child Care since he was 6 weeks old. We had to find a daycare quick since my nanny did not work out. Erika Campfield and her daughter made us feel like part of their family and put me at ease. They have always been very attentive and accommodating. The staff allowed me to bring my own breast milk and solids for him. When he was going through his biting phase they spent special one on one time to make sure the problem was identified and a plan was developed to help him understand what he really wanted...food! He is almost 2 and can sing various songs, speak phrases in French and Spanish, and count to 10 when prompted. I would recommend this day care to anyone.

Though Amberley Child Care was by far the first daycare my son had actually felt comfortable with, they did not feel comfortable with him. After about a month with them, they gave me a two week notice saying that they could no longer accommodate my sons needs. My son is a two year old toddler, mind you. Due to a nose bleed that was brought on by him being hot, they felt uncomfortable with his health needs. Because hes the only child who gets a nose bleed when hes hot apparently. Also, they worded to me that he was not their first problem child. Hes two and climbs on chairs and doesnt stick with group activities when hes bored and has a tantrum when he doesnt get his way. Apparently the only toddler who hits himself when he has a tantrum. After finding another child care center who was appalled to hear of Amberley Child Cares reasoning, the center director of Amberley even asked me are you sure they wont kick him out after a short period of time for his behavior? And had previously told me my son needed a specialist for his behavior. I can honestly say that where he attends now is the same daycare I grew up in. They arent behavioral specialists, they understand children and are properly trained. It wasnt that Amberley was not able to meet a toddlers needs, but that they were insufficient in their training, unprofessional, and inadequate in their services. Unless you have a child that doesnt throw tantrums like a normal child, I would highly recommend not wasting your time with Amberley Child Care.

This is the most progressive daycare in Virginia Beach. I was impressed by the cleanliness of the facility, the staff are great as well as polite, they treat you more like family.~Missy

My Zoeman has been going to this daycare since about 4 months and is now 11 months. I love this Daycare they communicate the needs and progress of my son and hes so smart and happy I believe they play a big part of that.

I was extremely hesitant about sending my first born to a daycare but now I could not feel more blessed to have Erica and her staff in my Jacques life! He is barely 8 months old but he the excitement he exhibits when he realizes weve arrived at the daycare tells me he is definitely in the right hands. Not to mention all of the exposure to learning opportunities they provide for him. I had a slight concern about his sitting up unassisted milestone, I mentioned it in passing and within a few days it was mastered thanks to their dedication to my sons development.

My daughter absolutely loves Amberley Child Care. This is the first daycare she’s ever attended She learned so much since she’s been there The staff is awesome I couldn’t ask for a better place to take my daughter I highly recommend 👍🏽

Over crowded ..not clean ...hot ...do not send your child here please I beg you ! Especially your infant I heard one baby crying for 30 mins straight staff not friendly!The director was ok she was not that professional!Also I walked into a class dirty broom and dust pan the kids were playing around it !!!I warn you

I am a Family Medicine Physician and I initially registered with this daycare after an abuse issue at the last daycare; I spent a year with this daycare due to the proximity to work and security cameras they had established. There were SOOO many issues in the infant and toddler room over that year that I should have left sooner but I stuck it out until recently after poor management caused me to have me relocate. The negligence and unprofessionalism was there—should have caught the signs sooner.For all of you new mothers out there, if you are looking for cheap daycare and expecting nothing else outside of babysitting, come here. If you actually care about the welfare of your kids, beware. Some staff are great, others are questionableI noticed many healthcare issues arise over the year which I have tried to assist the daycare in correcting—(which is why I stayed for so long but some issues still have not been corrected)Issues found:Breast milk left out for >2 hours and re-fed to the infantRegular milk left out for hours and almost re-fed to my son warm as can be before I caught it and called the daycare attendant out on it (who knows how long that had been going on)Brought in aquaphor for PREVENTION of diaper rashes then a year later got pushback because someone in their incorrect wisdom believed that it caused fungal rashesMismanagement of otc medications like sunblock/aquaphor—would have one staff member tell me they put it on when it wasn’t applied, causing diaper rash or unprotected sun exposure b/c the staff was ‘too busy’ or didn’t keep up with paperworkBrought in breakfast/snacks for him throughout the day that the staff would not give to him sometimes although it was properly labeled with time to be givenI had to formally ask to find out that he wasn’t eating some meals at lunch causing weight loss instead of staff identifying that problem and notifying me as his parent aheadCarpeting is still so filthy that my child was coming home with malodorous socks that were stained brown—Every day; still haven’t rectified that oneMy child ate lunch with the daycare and when he had an episode of diarrhea from the food, it wasn’t properly met with corrective actions.Injuries would occur during the day to my son that I wouldn’t find out about until picking him up later in the day (one episode he sustained a scratch on his face with dried blood noted but staff stated it ‘wasn’t an open wound so I wasn’t contacted’)Walked into ‘water play’ day finding my child freezing cold/wet sitting in a chair without a blanket/towel to keep him warm—never let him participate againFound a daycare attendant watching >10 kids by herself, overwhelmed; when I advised the owner that she needed help, she looked incredulous and looked like I was the problem although the poor staff member confirmed she needed assistanceRevolving door of faces—you bring your kid in one day and they’re with completely different staff; no warning/introductions; just expected to go with itWatched an attendant drop a glove on the floor then pick it up to be reused for a diaper changeTraining days can randomly occur throughout the year without sufficient notice—someone posts the date in an inconspicuous location and expects everyone to know causing work hour lossBarely wash hands before eating, increasing risk of infection/contaminationOne staff also not properly washing hands appropriately—literally watched her let my 1.5 year old son ‘wash his hands’ on his own and call it quits afterwards, even when he touched the faucet again after ‘cleaning his hands’Emailed the director and owner regarding health issues and they still haven’t gotten back to me weeks later because they’re too busyIf you know what quality/standards are, it’s hard to accept lower than BASELINE/STANDARD conditions expected for your child.Problem they had with me is that I can’t sit around and let these things happen. Someone needs to be an advocate for the kids. Save yourself the headache and frustration.

I LOVE LOVEEE LOVEEE this daycare me and my husbands first impression of this daycare was awesome we loved the fact that it was small but just right for our two little girls and we saw all the things that they would be learning and all the wonderful activities that they would be doing.
