It's actually really unfair to expect your caregiver to be at least a little bit on board as there is NO such thing as at least a little bit liable....kwim?
Imagine if a child did choke and die ....I highly doubt the DHS and/or the law would be accepting of a provider claiming the parent expected her to be at least a little bit on board with it so it's only a little bit the provider's fault.
MY watch, MY responsibility. PERIOD.
I'm not saying to do stuff like this (that could be construed as a risk) -- but if a caregiver refused to give my child actual food -- and only wanted to offer purees or baby cereal, I'd absolutely pack up and take my kid somewhere else.
