Bankstown Family Day Care Scheme

Bankstown Family Day Care Scheme are unfortunately run by incompetent staff who are more interested in undermining their educators at the detriment of the children. Rather than working together with educators and parents to provide an environment where children can learn, grow and flourish, they turn up to the Family Day Care centre and disturb both educators and children creating stress where the children feel not only unsafe but also withdrawn everytime a visit occurs. Some examples are they will turn up and rummage through the lunch you bring for your child and make disparing comments instead of trying to educate you about making healthier choices. I believe they should not be going through children's personal school bags. Other examples are creating tension and speaking in language unsuitable to the educator around the children. This is very unprofessional and teaches the children bad habits they bring home. Claiming to visit to provide support to the educator to help with the children's development but instead turning up and giving inconsistent advice and refusing to provide any paperwork or official documentation about how to implement such actions. Giving inconsistent advice, not only from visit to visit but also from visits from different members of the scheme making it almost impossible for educators to work together with members who run the scheme. This is the tip of the iceberg and I believe that all these actions have a negative effect on the children's ability to learn and feel safe in an environment where they can prosper. Bankstown Family Day Care Scheme have deep rooted issues that need urgent addressing. I can only pray and hope that children who continue to attend Family Day Care that are part of this scheme aren't impacted in such a negative light in future. Good luck to all. I would give Zero Stars if I could but unfortunately have to give at least a 1 star review.
