Quick question re: childminders

[mumclaire]

I'm going to meet a prospective cm this afternoon - what key things/questions should I be asking?? DD is 18mths and will be with cm for 1 day a week.. Any advice appreciated!

Hi, hope this isn't too late. I've not used a cm only aupairs but top of my list would be

1. Will she encourage dd to nap when appropriate

2. What cooking will she do?

3. Policy on snatching/sharing (if other children around)

4. Where will she take dd during the day?

5. Plan of the day eg walks, toddler groups?

6. Policy on tv watching compatible with yours?

7. Experience/licensed details

Hope this helps and that she's lovely
