Thought today I would tick a few more things off my "to do" list - rang the ICO and they are sending me a form to complete and then I have to send them £35.
Then thought I would ring the local council to register with Food Standards Agency - I did complete a form about 3 1/2 years ago when they sent them to all childminders, but I never heard anything from them. Other childminders who are newly registered have an inspection and get a certificate, so I wondered 3 1/2 years on if they had received my form. Anyway I rang and I am already registered with them - I expect they will want to come visit now! I did ask how often the Food hygiene course should be repeated and was told about every 5 years, which is good as mine is still just in date - have just enquired about doing a free on-line one through the council, waiting for a log-in.
Maybe while I'm on a roll I should ring Ofsted and ask when they are going to come and do my inspection as 6 months late. Or maybe I won't!!
