Fantastic, I wish our post was that quick!! :D

Hi. Re above course. Had email today from EY training people as I had informed them I had taken the course online. They say they are not aware of any online food hygiene course and would I send them the information about the course and where I got my information from so they can check it's an accepted certificate before it can be added to my training details. Anybody else had any problems with this? Sorry if this isn't where I should be asking this

[Pauline]

Shows you what they know then doesn't it!! :rolleyes:

Ofsted where really impressed with mine and it is them that matter at the end of the day not the EY team. :)

Well any course that you do can only be a good thing so they should have been praising you

Hope they are impressed when they have checked it out

Hi Nicole, you don't sound thick! We all have questions we don't know the answer to!

It's level 2 as in the first level is basic and the second level is more advanced.

[berkschick]

We all have to register round here now and need level 2 food hygeine.

The council are running courses but they are charging £15 and it takes 2 x 3 hour sessions or a whole saturday to do :panic: And there is a waiting list!

I just did it online. It took an hour to read all the onfo and 9 minutes to complete the test. I scored 90% too so very pleased!

Your the first I've heard that it is compulsory, suppose it won't be long until it is the same for all of us.

Well done on your score :thumbsup:

[Lick'le Oakes]

I'm really confused (i know it don't take much) is this the same course as the CIEH which i have been told i have to do please

[Pauline]

It won't be the exact same course because different trainers uses different styles, if you get what I mean.

[Pauline]

sorry but now I'm confused lol wot is the CIEH

The chartered institute of environmental health

Well done on your score :thumbsup:

Yep, we all had letters last week with forms to fill in and register with environmental health.

If we are low risk, it is doubtful we will get a visit. High risk are subject to on the spot checks at anytime! We have been told that we need to deep clean our kitchens every 6 months :rolleyes: The world has gone mad!

We had to circle what we did and didnt provide for the minded children. Luckily I dont cook for them or make up formula feed and they all come with packed lunches so I am a low risk.

I dont know how they are going to police this though as come september I will have a 4 month old baby so will therefore be providing formula feeds.

Seems like this may well be rolled out accross the country, sorry should have posted in the main section to let you know we had been given the letter, will make a post tomorrow.

Thank you for the information on this one. I am about to embark.
As I have 3 children of my own and no chance of going to college it is ideal for me.

Thank you again

[Pauline]

Good luck Shell. I must say I found it so much nicer than having to give up a day to go out to training! :)

[Twinkle]

[Twinkle]

Sorry Pauline

I should have said that I have experience from my former job as a quality assurance manager for a dairy, so I had a slight advantage :blush:
It was 20 yrs ago so it's nice to know my brain hasn't turned to complete mush! lol

and amazing that it hasn't all changed since then - it would have had it been childminding! :laughing:

[Twinkle]

I've just been reading the emails I received from Virtual College re the food hygiene certificate.

They've given me a code for me to give to other childminders. When you in turn sign up for the course, they credit my account with £5, up to a maximum of £25.00

If anyone decides to do the course and wants to use this code, I will donate the money back to Pauline's Big Swig Fundraiser.

[Sarahjlonguk]

Hi
I just completed this course, would recommend, really simple to do. I did it in approx 2 hours. My local school had in-house training for the same qualification and it took a WHOLE day to complete. I will be going back for some of their other courses.

I have had a call from environmental health asking what food I supply which is just snacks and lunch, they said they are carrying out visits on all childminders supplying food in my area (Essex). Has anyone had a visit? What will they do...root through my kitchen cupboards???????

Well done Sarah :thumbsup:

As regards environmental health, they will chat with you about food hygiene, preparation and see where you prepare food, any pets etc.

Have you got a copy of the new Safer Food Better Business for Childminders?

There is a link somewhere. :)

Yes thank you Pauline, I spotted the link previously, it has arrived and been completed.

Yes that is right. As far as I know it is not any cheaper for a childminder and I don't think they do any discounts :)

Level 1 Food Safety and Hygiene at £18

It depends on your local authority - some say it's a requirement when childminders register as a food business.

However it's not in the Eyfs or Childcare Registers so what Pauline means is it is not a statutory requirement for Ofsted.

Hope this clarifies :D

EH Where really off with me about this course, that really made me mad!
They told me first it wouldn't be accredited and it is!!..and second we couldnt learn enough in 3 hours!

Erin i was told on my first aid course that an online course wasnt good enough, i've done it but have you ever had an info from the early years team about a food hygiene course?? i hardly hear about any courses and the last one i would have loved to do but its a weekday :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

that drives me nuts :laughing: so online courses i do better than nothing :D

[Pauline]

Erin i was told on my first aid course that an online course wasnt good enough,

I can understand a first aid course would not be suitable online as you do not get the practical side of using the dummies. Understanding food hygiene is different in my opinion as you don't need to practice on anything :D

sorry i was told by the lady who did my first aid that an online food hygiene course was not "good enough" :rolleyes:

[erinjane]

Hi,
Everyone says its good enough tbh..
I have just had the worst day ever!!
Cried my eyes out for 2 hours lol....
I had food hygiene out (that I invited so I could register to serve food last week)
2 girls came out, they nit picked at everything, I was so wound up and mad after they left. They told me my course was not up to standard my dog cannot sleep at night in kitchen (bare in mind I have 2 huskeys and they outside all day!!) fed outside and barly in contact with the kids. Prior to her coming I scrubbed my kitchen from top to bottom!!
I got my report today too, its terrible!! they have said my benches where "untidy" ?? dogs fed in kitchen?? Im sooo mad..I dont even know why there was 2 of them at my house but I rang them up and the poor guy had to listen to me crying for 20 mins...and now I have area manager ringing me back!!
She obviously doesnt like that I have animals!... My little girl has 2 heart conditions no-one would ever know how scatty I am about germs with her constantly got a bottle of antibacterial in my hand!!.... Now ive calmed down a bit I feel so sorry for the guy who had to listen to me winge.. and my eyes are all red and swollen now lol :) but now I have to tell the area manager all this tomorrow!!
Hebs...I going on a course on in a coulpe of weeks for behaviour managment..did u get that one??.... nothing for food hygiene, but you can do it through south tyneside council I think, but I never want to see them in my life again!..... xxx

[Hebs]

i think they forget that this is our home too :rolleyes:

i laughed and told them i feed my dog at the table with the kids ;)

i got the info about the behaviour course, but (if its the same one) its a week day and i have 4 kids under 5 to provide care for so i cant do it, i'm gutted too as my son has ADHD and it would be interesting to see what they are advising people :laughing:

[jojo8905]

Thanks for posting the food hygiene course!

I managed to do it in a day due to babysitting commitments

It was really good because i am out in Germany at the moment

So Thank-you:clapping:

I did my course yesterday :clapping: . Really enjoyed it. Thank you for all the information.

[erinjane]

sorry i was told by the lady who did my first aid that an online food hygiene course was not "good enough" :rolleyes:

aybe it was the same women that came out to my house and then proceeded to report me to ofsted for letting my dogs "sleep" in the kitchen!!
and causing me a lot of unessesary agro!.. I do hope she does my next check! :laughing:

The current offer ends on 14th March so if you want to do it I would suggest now to make the saving.

It depends where you live as to whether anyone comes out to inspect. :)

We are having a bit of a nightmare with food hygiene training, our cdo booked the wrong course then the trainer didnt show up, so are now going down the on-line route. Thanks for the link Pauline even though the offer finishes today full price is still better than SCMA cost of £72 :D

Glad to help Gizmo and good news, the offer has now been extended to 29th March 2012, although I think so long as you order before the offer date you can still do it in your own time so can complete after the offer date, if that makes sense. :thumbsup:

I was going to book on this and just checked our LA site to see if it was the same as ours. Turns out that they also provide an online course, and all CM training is currently free :)

Just completed this online in about two hours and also used the forum code, so was only £16.20.

Quite an interesting course!

Most say 3 years and then to do another because information and guidance changes so much in that time. :)

[blue bear]

Looking it up, there is no dead line to renew as there is no expiry date on the certificate but every three years is considered good practice

This is probably a daft question.

I have just completed the basic food hygiene course. I did it through the childcare.co.uk gold member educare course.

So does this mean i have just done a wee course for CPD or does it mean i can start giving food to the children that i look after?

Thanks

So does this mean i have just done a wee course for CPD or does it mean i can start giving food to the children that i look after?

Thanks

:) no such thing as a daft question!

having done the educare food hygiene course means you have done a course that counts towards your CPD AND that you can continue to give food to the children you care for, just that you have a better awareness of issues concerning food temperatures/contamination/storage/cooking etc. Food hygiene isn't a 'MUST DO' but it is a good one to do!
