    I wonder sometimes too. Especially after I heard one of the two year old boys telling a different mom what we had for lunch. As I listened, I realized that he was just saying whatever he could think of, instead of what he actually had. It was cute, because the made up version had a lot of veggies and other healthy things. Haha.

    The only way another provider would call me about a child, is if they were told I was the current provider. And, although there are times in the past when I've taken a child who was leaving another carer, the information I've been given is that their current carer was closing or going on maternity leave. I have no way of validating that without knowing who their carer was.

    To me, it seems that the parents hold the control as to two carers speaking to one another as the parents are the only ones who know the identities of both. If they are being less than honest, then they likely wouldn't be willing to link the carers and so a policy isn't going to help.

    I think all it will do is keep the honest folk honest and the less than honest won't participate/share the information needed. Since you can't have a policy for every situation, it seems nice in theory but pretty useless in practice.
    I actually have a parent form requesting the name of the last daycare provider and why they were leaving. They have the option of filling it out but red flags are raised if they choose not to.

A few tips...

Always ensure that your child receives quality care by taking the time to investigate the provider and by asking for references! We simply cannot verify the claims of every daycare provider.
