Thanks for all the response. I would LOVE to have DS in family daycare....his name has been on the list 6months now!!!! There's just not enough people here who run it.
In regards to staff at the previous centre, them I really liked. They all knew who I was etc & took an interest in DS. It was more the person running it, lack of stuff provided......for example when dropping him off in the morning it was to any empty room of screaming kids & 2 puzzles IYKWIM.
The centre we looked at had much more stuff, more structured based activities (I think that's an ABC thing), so all that was good. But what has prob got me most worried, we were there 10mins or so whilst DS had a great time playing and not ANY of the staff members approached us to say hello or DS & then one little boy was standing in the play area with his pants down wanting to do a wee & a staff member was standing right by him just looking into space!!! it was me who had to say something. Ahhhhh I just don't know!!
