I think it's a great idea. I work in the industry and am lucky enough to work with a male who the children absolutely love. I must admit though that he doesn't change nappies but that is something the director decided on to protect him more then anything as it is her husband. I also know a guy who does FDC and he was really popular. Not sure about Qld but in NSW FDC is accredited now which I think helps parents to see that not just anyone can run a CCC or FDC and that a lot goes in to running these services.
