New Online Ofsted Registration....

[LittleRabbits]

If you have received your OST then you can use it to enrol on ofsted online, for SEF and other things like paying your fee, checking your application status etc... Does seem strange that an EY2 form is missing as they wouldn't even allow me to submit my form until all connected EY2 forms were complete and had been submitted?! Just a waiting game now tho...and that's the worst part Sarah x

My EYC form states all 4 EY2 forms have been completed and submitted so how does that work then?

Hmmm...I would question it again as something clearly isn't adding up...
I spoke to them yesterday to be told that although my form is complete, it's still being reviewed, there is a huge backlog to get through and it hadn't even been passed over to prospects yet...despite me being told by someone else that it had been...arrrggghhhhh...

They r ****** useless. I have rung them a few times. Rang again today and have now been told they dont know why my form not going through. I have to speak to applications team but they close at 5. I will try phone on break and hope I don't lose signal. They have said maybe theyre confused because some people apply to be assistants with an EY2 form and also do EYC by mistake. So they think my eyc could be a mistake. I have done both forms because I want to be a childminder and I have had to do ey2 to link to my friends form. But I wrote on both our applications we both want to be childminders but working together on the same premises. Silly buggers

Are you any further forward?

[LittleRabbits]

Sort of yes. They finay found my form and sent me prepaid envelope for me to send off my health declaration so I posted it for them to reply a week later saying it's outdated! So annoyed! Have had to have another form signed by drs which my brother will pick up tomorrow for me. My friend is all signed off as suitable (she had to have health assessment) so now we wait.

Sorry to hear that :-( within how many months should it be sent?

[LittleRabbits]

Im not sure but I got dr to sign health dec back in Aug I think. My friend who im registering with had her health dec back off drs in Sept and Ofsted processed hers in April. So maybe they give 6 months?? It is silly because once this is processed, they wont ask for another to be done. You just keep ofsted up to date with any changes

Wahoo brill news, Ofsted will be calling to arrange a registration visit. They will phone this week or next. Apparently after the visit, it takes 2 weeks to make a decision if pass or not... Is that true? I thought they told you there and then?
