Just flicking through the Essex summer training brochure and found that on their first aid courses, they now have a separate charge for Non-ofsted registered childminders:-


Course Length: Two full days.
Course Fee for Ofsted registered settings: £70.00.
Course Fee for Non-Ofsted registered childminders: £120.00.

Again seems that the LA's know more than we do.

With this post and mine about the ofsted consultation about changing how they inspect childminders and early years all of this is a for gone conclusion that things are changing if we want it to or not.

Could this not just be for people who, like me, are doing their first aid course TO register?

Looks like they thought we would roll over and take it. Will we? What else are they hiding. I won't be surprised if they wheel something out quite soon to try and appease us all and we will fall for their tricks! :angry:

could it be someone who only looks after over 8's in an area where parents dont rely on vouchers or tax credits ie no need to be on childcare register?

I certainly think my LA know a lot more than we are being told.

How about giving them a call and asking what a Non-Ofsted registered childminder is?

You did make me think maybe I was being a bit quick, but after looking at the last few training brochures, it didn't feature in any previous to this year. The Autumn one didn't have a non registered charge - but the spring one did!
