I went online yesterday to update DH income estimate with Centrelink and at the bottom of the page it told me that our new percentage of childcare allowance was going to be 0% Thankfully next year DD1 is going to Prep but till then it means we'll be paying $105 per day at Daycare for the two of them!!! So as it turns out the fact that I could only get DD1 into care one day a week is a good thing!

Does anyone know if FDC is cheaper then a Daycare centre? When DS and DD1 are both at school next year then there will be no need for DD2 to be in a daycare centre so i'm thinking of putting her in FDC just for 1 day a week to give me a break.

I don't really know much about it. For anyone who's kids go to FDC, how do you know when the person you have found is right for you? It worries me a bit, having my child in someone elses home.

Don't really know what i'm asking here...just some advice?
