Just wondering if anyone knows how many weeks notice I have to give if I am taking Ella out of home based care? Ella is enrolled with Jemmas but I have read through all their information but I can't find it anywhere. I am thinking 2 weeks??? TIA ------------- Mum to Ella (5) and Tom (2) |

I know with Porse the educator has to give 4 weeks but even looking through our contract that it isn't stated for us or them. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

You should be able to give any notice you want surely? I'd be nice and give a week.. ------------- Mr Mellow (16) Miss Attitude (8) Destructa Kid (3)

Thanks I love my homebased carer as well, but lately she is starting to get a little unreliable and I think work are started to get a little bit annoyed with all the time I have had to take off (which I totally understand) so I am looking at enrolling her in daycare. ------------- Mum to Ella (5) and Tom (2) |

| Thats no good Mum2Ella. A huge part of being a homebased caregiver is being really reliable for the families. It must be really frustrating for you. I know that with Kidstart it is 2 weeks notice so it's probably similar. Families can give whatever notice they want but if it is under 2 weeks they still have to pay for 2 weeks of care |

We had to give 3 weeks notice to our Porse educator. It was stated in our contract. Ashlee starts her new daycare on Monday and I'm having those awful 'are we doing the right thing?' thoughts again
