Thank you for your replys. I met the Kinder teacher yesterday and she is lovely and I am going back tomorrow after meeting with DDs early intervention coordinator today. The nappies are not a problem, I discussed this with the kinder a while back and they are completely supportive ( I only live 5 doors down so it wouldn't be any issue anyway).
I think it would be outside that is the issue, inside it will be simple things like opening her lunch box/drink. They will already watch things like scissor use etc.
Thanks again, DH and I have discussed it a lot this past week and we are going to just see how it goes, if she doesn't cope we can stop
If she is part-coping you might also be able to take her for "inside time" - especially if you live down the road. And gradually build up "outside time".
I've found that it varies a great deal between kinders how they choose to use that 'extra pair of hands', but on the most part, the aide has been assigned as exactly that and has been available to support the needs of the funded child.
It is in the kinder teacher's interests to support this - of course, it shouldn't come down to this alone - in that they are likely to be liable if your child has extra support needs to remain safe, the support has been provided for and she is injured when unsupervised.
