Who is monitoring the operations of family-based daycare centers in Gatineau?

Have you tried to find a spot for your child in a family-based 7 dollar daycare?
We know it is very hard to find one, but when you do eventually fine one, chances are it is hell meeting the expectations of the owners.
What do they stipulate in the contract and how does this differ from what they want parents to do especially in terms of schedule?
Have you been told to bring your child in only as from 8am during summer months?
Were you questioned whether you will pick them up early? by 4 or 4:30pm latest and not the 5pm on the contract?
Were you told that if they are first to arrive they should be first to leave irrespective of how many hours they spend in the daycare on that day?
Have you ever been asked if your child is "clean" (diaper trained)?

Please share your experience.
