My son has been in day care since 7 months & he loves it. I never considered FDC as a woman I worked with had issues with the carer taking her daughter out of the house & also feeding her food that she didn't want her to have. Your child will never be removed from a day care centre to go pick up other children from kinda or school or wherever (without your knowledge), nor will they be given food you don't want them to have.
Where my son goes he has his food provided. They play with the kids & sing & dance with them. He's been doing art for months now - the artwork is all over the room & I will be given a book full of it when he leaves daycare. They do assessments on him so I know how he's progressing. If they notice anything that they think is a little unusual they will tell you & if they think something needs the attention of a doctor they will mention that too.
I feel like the staff love my son. They celebrate milestones just as much as I do. If he's done or said anything they haven't heard or seen before they will be busting with excitement to tell me when I arrive to pick him up.
My son is a very social little man. He had his first access visit with his dad on the weekend & had a ball & I think he was able to cope with this so well because he's used to being tended to by different people.
