Hey Pinkpalce,
I would recommend it but then I'm an family day care provider!
My mum got me into it 6 years ago and she's been in the business for over 20 years now.
The main thing is to make sure your happy with the provider and the premises, then leave your daughter for a few hours to start with to make sure she's happy.
I always have a 2 week trial period with all my new families just to make sure that they're happy with the care and that the child is fitting in.
It's amazing how attached you come to the kiddies they become an extension of your family and when they leave for school or due to moving, it's a real heartbreaker.

But if your looking for a home environment were DD will be a person and not a number then go for it.

Ohh by the way I put my son in Family day care on a tuesday while britneys at school, so i can go shopping or fill in appointments e.g dentist ect!

Best of luck with it!
