Providing food

I'm trying to find a CM for my DS and I've just seen a very nice lady but she said she doesn't provide any food except for snacks and water. Is this normal? It seems a bit of a faff to have to take stuff in for him but I've never used a CM before so not sure if this is standard practice.

It is up to the CM. I provide food but then again my rate is that little bit higher.

Does she provide no food, or is it just that you have to pay for meals? Also, how old is your ds?

I provide food (and don't charge extra), but only for children over 1 year old.

I do know of one cm who does not provide food so all mindees come each day with a packed lunch. Not sure about dinner though.
