Make a short parent feedback form and a blank sheet for your own tally of the answers (England, childminders)

The problem

Childminders type “childminder parent questionnaire template” and “childminder feedback form template” into search, and a short form handed out once or twice a year is an easy way to hear what parents think. The risk is in the answers: parents’ comments can name a child, describe a concern or be a complaint, so none of that goes into an AI tool. AI lays out the blank form from topics you choose, and a blank tally sheet; you count the ticks yourself, read the comments yourself, and decide what you will do. Ofsted’s own guide for inspectors says they may speak to parents, in a childminder setting by phone, and says nothing about asking to see a form, so the form is for your own use and is not a substitute for how parents can raise a concern or complain.

What AI does

AI lays out a short, neutral parent feedback form from your own topics, and a blank sheet for you to tally the answers. You count the replies and read each comment personally; any concern about a child is never an AI task (England, childminders).

Time

The steps, in short

1. Choose a handful of topics to ask parents about.
2. Have AI lay out a blank form and tally sheet from your topics.
3. Check the form asks nothing about any child and doesn't lead parents.
4. Count the answers and read the comments yourself, then decide what to change.
