So u thought I'd pop in and give an update. We have seen 4 educators now and none have been enough of a 'fit' to go ahead. Educator number 2 decided that she needed children who were attending in school holidays so that ruled us out. Educator number 4 was only happy to follow what DD needs up to a certain age and then wanted to put DD into the educators routine. She was quite strict and lacked warmth IMO.
We are seeing educator number 5 today, closer to home. She is through the Ausom FDC scheme. I think she's from Somalia so I'm interested to learn about get and how she works with children.
I've also registered our need for an educator with Windermere FDC and that I'd sounding like it could be good.
The FDC coordinator that I thought I'd upset the other day actually called to see how I was. Apparently educator number 2 thought I was quite stressed.
The coordination unit from that FDC scheme is going to use some of my questions for educators to update their documents. I wasn't expecting that one!
I hope all this makes sense.
So we are still on the hunt for an educator who is a good match for us.
