Actually Suzie_Homemaker....m y kids LOVE LOVE LOVE to have KD once in a while and I DON'T have a parent who objects to it in any way!

Actually sandylynn, that might be true for your area, but not here. Which is why I was really, really, clear that in my area, this is something that parents don't want. I am sure most children like KD but here, in PEI, parents expect home cooked nutritious meals and it would be expect that if providing mac and cheese, it was home cooked not full of additives or mystery ingredient.

The points I made thought were clear about my local market where:-

So do some research. Find out what parent in your area want as a min. And at least have that.

Here, parent want a minimum, police and criminal record check for everyone over 18 who is in the house, insurance, infant CPR and first aid, references, receipts, meals included in fees. They want reliable carer. They want someone who will invest in development of child and treat it as their priority vs watching kids while doing housework.

What they don't want is new parent with no experience of offering child care to large groups of unrelated children (i.e. babysitter a couple siblings, for a few hours on odd occasion, does not count for much locally). What they don't want is a new parent who is topping up their mat leave. What they don't want is a carer who gives KD or other packaged food, they want home cooked nutritionally healthy food. They don't want carer who goes to appointment and leave children in care of mother/husband/someone else - although that common in other areas.

Hope that clarified. I absolutely would have complain from parent if KD served but if you can get away with, and if parent okay with that, then that is reflective of YOUR area, not mine.
