Any Family Day Care users out there?

Ive often not sent the girls due to sickness or we have been away....while it sucks you still have to pay....thats their job and they should be paid.

They provide a great service to a fee being paid regardless doesnt bother me

Thanks girls for your comments.

It is a hard decision and i guess i need to make it by tomorrow b4 dd starts at child care! as it s easier to do that then have to apply to have her out of child care and wait weeks cause of fees paid up etc etc.


i do like the idea of family day care though as my biggests issues are routine (and then not sticking to it at CC dues to their routines being different.)

Oh thats a qn... anyone's FDC happy with cloth nappies and what happens with food...

Cloth nappies have never been an issue with me, although I don't wash them.
Food is normally sent by the parent but some carers provide for a set fee!
Fee's will also vary, I charge $4.10 per hour + a .10c admin fee which gets paid to dete, meals are normally $2 snack and $3 main meal.

Snack= Bannana & Yoghurt & Milk or Juice or Dried fruit and tiny teddies ect

Main meal= Spagetti, chicken schnitz and roast veg ect mainly whatever were having i just cook extra.

I don't charge for heating, bedding or milk but I've heard some c/p do, Ask for the fee's up front so you know what your up for!
