Is this allowed in Family Day Care?

I'm not sure about FDC but I know with LDC we are not allowed to have persons in the centre who do not hold a blue card to ensure they have had their backgrounds looked into. This includes if I need to get the plumber in to unblock a loo or anything.
Why don't you ring the FDC assoc to check?

Actually, that's probably Centre policy, and is not the law.

As someone said, there should be a record of who's in there. But don't ever feel like you can't ask - you are paying for her service and it is your RIGHT to know everything about it.

I would say contact your FDC assoc, council or community centre, or whoever runs it. Tell them everything, and they'll let you know what the story is. It could be something they haven't addressed, and your feedback might be really useful.

I agree with Danniella and take advantage of the fact that she asked if you were happy with the level of care. Give her the benefit of any doubt and be polite but do say that when your son returns you'd like to be familarised with the FDC policy of visitors because it was the only thing you were really concerned about.
