My daughter will be joining a childminder in September, I’ve just had a quick glance at their ofsted report and everything “needs improvement” such as engaging with children and staff hygiene (food handling and washing hands before touching foods etc).
Would this concern anyone else?

Yes especially if its recent x

Would put me of completely and I would find a new one x

Yeh would be a no from me. You’ll probably end up with constant illness in your house from the lack of hygene

I wouldn't necessarily just pull them out (as if it's always that easy anyway) unless there was a huge safety concern. I'd contact them and ask what steps they have taken since this report to make improvements in the areas that have been noted, they might have taken it as a massive boot up the arse to get things in order, whereas being rated outstanding sometimes means you're less likely to be visited again soon and some places might become complacent. If anyone at the setting isn't immediately able to list off a bunch of improvements they've made and how they're tracking the progress/holding staff accountable that's when I would be looking at somewhere else because it shows they're not talking it seriously. Every staff member (it sounds from this report like there are a few?) should know exactly what's on that report and how they've made improvements from there.
