When you arrange a visit to childminder's home, what are you looking to see?
The size of her home matters?
She offers a drink immediately?
How many toys/activities she has in display?
Interactions between you?
Interactions between your child?
Her race or background?
Her own family and age group of children if any?
Activities she caries out on her daily routine?
Meals/snacks she provides?
Charges?
Sole worker or with assistance?
Age groups she cares for?
Displays of activities you can see?
Her qualification and training?
Have you ever gone to see her more than once before making a decision?
Have you ever been always honest about your decision when you get back to her?
Do you just not contact because she's not what you're looking for?
Which of the above would be your priority? Have you any thoughts which not listed above?
I'm trying to improve my childminding care and environment and make some decisions if this is for me anymore, though I've enjoyed having different children over the years but until recently things are not working.
Thanks everyone!
