Hi all,

I've completed my training & I'm just waiting for my pre-reg visit. Today I went to a childminder group at my children's centre & was told I could start minding as long as I had my EY number & CRB, no need to wait for Ofsted! I didn't think that was the case?? I've got my unique reference number (EY number), will my registration number be the same number then?
Bit confused but want to get started ASAP. How long do Ofsted take to come out?!
Thanks in advance,
Ellie

Sorry but I think you've been given the wrong info hun.

Just because you have you have your CRB doesn't mean you're clear just yet - only once you've had your pre reg with ofsted and have RECEIVED your certificate (approx 3-10 days later) can you actually start minding.
You can start advertising, but that's about it at the moment, sorry.

You need your Ofsted registration certificate in your hand - and insurance of course - before you can start working.

Hopefully it won't take long now! :D

Ah thank you! That is what I thought but it was my coordinator that told me & she seemed to know her stuff, bit odd!
Will my registration number be the same as the EY number I have now? ..just out of interest!
