approaching your childminder about what they feed your child...

Bearing in mind that she's otherwise fantastic and also the only childminder in my area, my childminder has fed my almost 10mth old some things i'm not happy with. (i always pack his own lunch BTW)

a few weeks ago her daughter was off school and wanted to go to McDonald's, so DS went too obviously, and she let him eat some fries. DP collects DS so he told me when i got home, and i wasn't too chuffed. decided not to say anything because it hadn't happened before, and i'd say something if it was suggested again.

she also gives him wotsits and quavers sometimes, which i don't.

this week, when he didn't want the lunch i'd packed him, she gave him a sausage roll (as the others (older) were having one) He had an upset tummy that night, i think caused by a processed, salty snack made with pigs knobs and ears (probably!)

I'm not very good at 'confronting' people, but obviously i need to say something. Does anyone have any experience of approaching their childminder about this?

Pinkchick, I think i mentioned OFSTED first, not in relation to the OP, as I made clear, but to Filly/charlie and lolas mum who was commenting on CM's in the park, who give the rest of us bad nmaes.
