Evening all, it's Friday!:jump for joy:
I'm in the registration process to become a childminder and sent off all forms a few weeks ago.
Anyway, my dbs check on myself and hubby are underway and I had a call from ofsted... I call back thinking yay it's time to book me in for the reg visit but no, they just wanted to know who I did my course with ( I did state it on the form along with date I finished!). I asked where my application was at and was told that there was still quite a few checks to come back such as social services check( which they only just requested) and a reference. Well my dbs check cleared that same day as my call so why are they still waiting for social service checks to come back?
Is it a seperate check then? Do I need to find my local ss and hound them? Do I hound ofsted for progress now in case it's them that's being slow?
Also do they wait for hubby's checks to come back before reg me?
