I have toured this provider's facility, but have not used its services

Went to check it out.
Trash cans without lids full of diapers and food.
Litter all over the front of the property.
Messy and poorly maintained outdoor play area.
Didn't even bother going in to inquire. I wouldn't leave my baby there.
