If I was going to use a childminder, the main thing that I'd want is a no TV/screens policy.
I was (retired last year) a childminder for over 20yrs. I've looked after over 100+ children. I am (was) an ace childminder! (And modest)
The best childminders are the ones who keep your child safe whilst you are at work. Safe, happy, fed, stimulated. The ones who try to ensure that all the children's needs are met.
The best parents are the ones who understand that sometimes days are hard. School runs, shops, libraries, playgroups are hard enough with 2-3 small ones in tow without arriving like drowned rats with unhappy children, sometimes a car is necessary. Likewise, screen time to relax a little after lunch or whilst waiting for parents at the end of the day is calming for many children.
If you want bespoke childcare then you need to have a nanny. What do you think a childminder can do if you want your child to go to playgroup but another parent doesn't want theirs to?
'My' children are all grown up now. Some of them have been coming to my house for 10+ years. They treat it like home. I treat them like my own. I am still friends with many parents and the children (now young adults) keep in touch, visit and drop in to be fed sometimes. My young adult children are going to the pub with the children they grew up with.
As I see it the best childminder is one where you can drop your child, safe in the knowledge that they will be happy, cared for and safe, which enables the parent to fully concentrate on their jobs.
I cooked breakfast, lunch, and a 2 course dinner from scratch every single day for the children in my care. We had amazing fun, doing a whole host of fab things. But we also had snuggly winter days with popcorn & a film, or educational games on the computer, ITNG whilst waiting to be collected, pingu after lunch when the babies went to sleep. We went further afield in the car, met up with friends & playmates (some are still friends even now in their 20s).
A childminder is a home from home, somewhere your child can be themselves and thrive. Don't be put off if they use modern technology or sometimes have slob days, your child will benefit from those things.
I also tried to make the parents lives as easy as possible. Made appointments for those who couldn't in work, took parcels so they could collect when they collected their children, just generally helped them out.
