Childminder is very lovely but one thing is bothering me

The childminder who my DS is with at the moment is wonderful. She's very kind, very attentive and experienced woman who has done it for many years. One thing I have noticed though is that her kitchen is absolutely filthy. I mean her cooker could do with a really good clean (there is a film of oil with dust and other things stuck to it, you can tell it has not been cleaned for a very long time), and she's also got an Acti-fry on the side that's also covered in oil and just a lot of other stuff.. it just looks very unclean! It is a shock to me because I keep things very clean in my house so I can spot anything dirty from a mile off! Would you let this be off putting? Probably me sounding snobby (I'm definitely not!)

Do you provide the food or does she OP?

does she provide food?
if yes I wiuld be concerned.

I would think official child minders need to show knowledge about food hygiene?

When are you seeing this? I only ask because at the end of the day my house looks like a bomb has gone off, I have a good clean and tidy up at home time ready for the next day. It’s also one reason why I door doorstep handovers as my house is messy at the end of the day (children help tidy toys though).
