Switch from Nursery to Childminder

We currently live with my immunosuppressed Mum. My 15 month old has been in nursery for almost 4 months and has brought home HFM, covid, slapped cheek and constant stream of other viruses which my Mum inevitability catches. I'm always so worried when he brings home an illness (noro hospitalised her in December), I'm considering switching to a childminder who has said that she rarely has illness in her setting. Is it worth the switch or am I just delaying the inevitable onslaught of illness when he re-enters a nursery / pre school setting when he's around 3? We're so torn.

I would be sceptical about a childminder who says she rarely has illnesses. It does depend on how many other children she looks after, but children spread bugs and it will happen at a childminder too.
