Hi, I was having a good tidy out of my 'office' yesterday and came across a letter from Ofsted from ages ago which states the requirements of being on childcare registers.
I am on all three, but the one I am concerned with is the Voluntary Register.
It says in this letter than all cm's need a level 2 qualification relating to childcare if they are caring for children over the age of 8. It obviously passed me by at the time, but I have had one over 8 since last April and three more are turning 8 this month!!!
I don't have a level 2 qualification relating to childcare!!! Is there a 'quick fix' course I can do? I did look into doing a level 3 NVQ when all that talk about us having to have one by 2015 came about, but couldn't get the funding, so decided to leave it for a while.
Am I working illegally now? :panic: Everthing else I do is tip top!!!! I work to the EYFS with my reception child and I have new topics every month which includes all the mindees, I take the kids out and about on day trips, I take my job very seriously and love it and I'm GOOD at it!!!
