Well, I spoke to the director of the CC today and sent her an email advising we are ceasing all care for Jazz effective immediately. I know we still have to pay for this coming fortnight but Matt said she's not going anymore at all, not even for the fortnight we are paying for. So he's got her every Wed & Fri starting tomorrow. (Although he was half asleep when he said this so I wonder if he'll remember) LOL.

I have asked the director to send me the bank details so we can do EFT for the money we owe. When she replies to that I'll ask her about an incident report for Wednesday. Thankfully Jazz's eye looks fine today, maybe slightly bruised if you look really closely but it just looks a bit like a tired bag under one eye rather than a bruise.

I feel kind of bad for taking her out of care, but it's becoming too much of a financial burden for us and also we feel there is no comparison with FDC. In my experience a CC is a business, they run it like a business in that they charge a fortune and have the least amount of staff they can legally have. I find that the child:carer ratio in cc is not suitable for a baby as young as Jazz. At FDC (well, at our FDC) it's run like what it is, a caring, loving home environment where the carer and her family genuinely love and care for the children like their own. There are only a max of 4 children in the home at any one time and even though it's only the wife who is the carer, her husband can assist as well but mainly does this with their own grandson who they look after most days. We have really started a good friendship with the carer and always feel welcome in her home.

Sorry for my long post. Prama, due to regular problems like you experienced, when I have written a long post, I always copy it before hitting the post button just in case so that if there is an error I can just paste it and try again.
