I don't think it will be an issue. Is it just that people have to go through your son's bedroom, why will that be a problem? So long as you risk assess any issue you think exists then it will be fine.

thank you for your advice my mind is at ease now

There's actually not much in the EYFS regarding what childminders need to provide.

3.59 Providers must ensure there is an adequate number of toilets and hand basins available (usually one toilet and one hand basin for every ten children over the age of two). Except in childminding settings, there should usually be separate toilet facilities for adults. Providers must ensure there are suitable hygienic changing facilities for changing any children who are in nappies and providers should ensure that an adequate supply of clean bedding, towels, spare clothes and any other necessary items is always available

I really wouldn't worry too much, risk assess and on your pre reg ask for any guidance. There is a toilet which is the main thing

Yes a hole in the ground in the back garden is frowned upon

Oh god can you imagine if we took them out to a hole and a garden tap 'this is the bathroom, as you can see we have hand wash facilities' lol!
