Indah goes 3 days a week to FDC, I prefer this for us as I knopw who will be looking after her everyday, not random staff that can change at a whim.
Indah knows she spends the day with her & now wants to continue playing & stuff when we get there, our carer doesnt drive so I know they go for walks but if they do go on a trip it is organised by the council a bus collects them all they all go together & are dropped back off together which I am happy with.
I specifically wanted a non Western carer & our carer is Sri lankan which is great.
As Indah is under 2 she can only have 3 other kids aged 2-5 when she has Indah, she has a huge stack od First Aid qualifications, was a nurse in Sri Lanka & Malaysia, she has a number of Child acre certificates & always has the back yard or 1 room set up with games, toys, activities etc for the kids, Inda is always so busy there!
She writes a daily diary of anything that happened, bowel movements, meal, activities any accidents, outings etc...
I am extremely happy with my carer, although I wont need her when I commence maternity leave but would have no hesitation in putting Indah & bubs in there..
I prefer the one on one contact that Indah gets with this lady rather than a variety of carers who may not have time to get to know my child.
I got to interview her & go through all her stuff, she has been a FDC with the council for over 8 yrs & proudly displays photo's of all the kids she has cared for...
