Childminder biscuit nightmare!

I am looking for some advice about my CM. She is totally lovely and I am really happy with her and the kids love her. The problem is that she feeds them huge amounts of biscuits, crisps, sweets etc. I have asked her several times now if she can just give them the healthy snacks that I provide but because the other kids she minds eat the biscuits etc I know she just lets them have it too. My 4 yr old tells me how she had crisps and cake today 'just as a treat' but it's everyday.
I work 3 days and on the days they go to the CM they never eat their tea.
Do you think I should look for someone else? She is clearly not going to give up the treats-her cupboards are full of them. The cupboard is at floor level so my 20 month old just goes in and helps himself!!!

Please give me some advice!

Yes I agree biscuits and crisps every day is not good. What sort of things do you send? All my after schoolers like things like cheese on toast or bagels with cream cheese or wraps with different fillings? You could send a packet at the beginning of the week? I shop Sunday's and it all lasts til Friday?
