I can't recall exactly, but I think it was about 6 months from application to registration. At the time, that was considered a long time. It was down to a delay with Mrs Bunyip's paperwork at the social services department of my previous local authority.

However, that was then and this is now. You'd be better served with an answer from someone who has registered very recently.

I've also had my pre-registration visit now, finally, yesterday! It only took two hours, and I was really surprised when the lady said that I'd be able to take on six children, considering that they'd also be moving about in the kitchen and the hallway...I had measured all my furniture and found I could have four at the most.
I am soooo relieved!
Thank you all so much for being super helpful throughout the process, it's been a great support.
Best regards!
