We used Long Day Care with our girls (FDC was not an option as it wasn't really offered in our area for some reason). Anyway it is a Community Cooperative which is a parent run centre so there is a lot of involvement from the parents.
I had sort of the opposite thought to Divvy in that I wanted them to be in different rooms to enable them to create their own space and own network of friends - as they share a bedroom and spend all their other time together. Also the carers are long term and they often follow the children for 2-3 years. i thought it was good for the girls to be able to develop strong trusting relationships with adults outside of their family. The fact that they had more than one carer was good in case they didn't particularly like or warm to a specific carer.
Fortunately we have had a great experience and have been part of the centre for 5.5 years now (with another 2.5 to go!)
