Hi all, i have not been on here for ages and its gunna be a bit of a long post but im hoping some one can help me :) and please dont judge :)
ok so i was a registered childminder a few years ago.
my partner had been diagnosed with a diese and unfortunately had to have a colostomy bag. everything to begin with was great, but then i watched my man go down hill, it mentally and physically got to him.
i carried on working as a childminder, as he would be absolutely fine infront of the children(my 2 and 1 mindee) but as i watched him sink further and further in to depression there was an incident :( and i failed to notify ofsted, i completely forgot i had too, i was on auto drive to keep my family together and work, and be a mum and do everything.
ofsted was fine with it and understood that i had alot on my plate, but said if i was to continue my oh couldnt be there, so he moved out so i could continue working, but he went to get better, i had to work to provide for my children
in order for me to continue working if he was to be in the house he had to go for a medical, but these always coinsided with his hospital appointment and he never made it.
then a lady from ofsted knocked on my door, but i had stopped working as a childminder as i was pregnant and very sicky, and the mindees mum was pregnant too so, wasnt working but still registered, my oh had been unable to attend, and i didnt think i would go back to childmiding so gave up my registration there and then.
any how, we have now moves and all happy and healthy, and the area we have moved too is desperate for childcare so thinking of going back to childminding.
my questions before ringing Ofsted tomorrow are:
will my oh still have to take his medical (dont mind either way, will Ofsted pay or us)
do i have to do the full child minding registration process again
would they decline my re-registration due to the past
thank you :)
