Hi everyone.

I am probably going to enrol my 1 year old son to begin 2 days a week with a day care mum who I contacted through an agency.

I am just wondering if anyone could share their opinions from their experiences or any stories about a similar situation. I dont really know anyone who I can talk to who has had their children in this situation.

The reasons I have chosen to go this path:
  • smaller groups - their are only 4 kids and they are similar ages
  • they get to go out and about - she takes them to storytelling at the library etc
  • its a nice safely set up house on an acre with heaps of room and things to do
  • it gives me flexibility for weekend or evening care


Me and my siblings were in home day care as kids, and i have fond memories of it, and the day care mum became a close friend to the family. This also gives me a favorable impression.

I would love to hear of other people's experiences with home day care!

I will also report back about how it is going as we follow the process.
