Does anyone want to buddy up and share ideas?
Anyone in the process of getting ready to register with ofsted and fancy keeping in touch to support each other? I am finding the whole process quite confusing and the course I did hasn't helped at all with what I need in place for Ofsted.

Hello I would buddy up with you if you want I am in final stages and have now got to wait for Ofsted to let me know when to visit but more than happy to compare notes etc

New to childminding
Hi Katie,
I am just starting out, so hints tips and Ideas would be great, I would like to do before and after school as I have a two year old little girl.
I used to do risk assessments, procedures in my Admin supervisors job, so used to doing them, I suppose there are lots to do!
Next week I am doing a pedatric first aid course, I have my food hygene cert already, what else do I need to do.
Thanks
Nora

Hi i would buddy up, been very busy getting things sorted and am just waiting on ofsted now.
Its very hard setting all this up when you have no one to sit and go through things with you. Many times i feel like theres so much to cover im prob making work for myself or trying to hard, but hoping it will pay of in the end.

I have been in contact with the fire dep, waiting for a call back, looking into safguarding at the mo, who did your CRB check? Done all the procedures and my forms, asked Ofstead for a pack, is there anything else you can think off?

Your crb will be done once ofsted process your application to register and u only pay the stated fee that the will send a bill for, depending on what registers you want to be on im on both and cost me £35 to register plus crb x

Yes please! Can I join in? I've finished my CYPOP5 but did it online so you don't get to pick peoples brains and swap ideas. First aid course is done, and safeguarding course booked. Waiting for OFSTED now, all forms sent and fees paid. NMCA say wait until they have been to join (but I'd quite like to get a glimpse of the paperwork first!) and I need to register with Inland revenue as self employed, and with the data people......it's all a bit of a mine-field isn't it! I am finding it all rather daunting atm....

Not started the process yet
Hi, I am having to wait til September to do the course but am hoping to use this year to equipt myself with as much info and knowledge as I can as it seems to be such a confusing/mind boggling experience to begin with. Therefore, do you mind if I 'follow' you along your journey to get my head around things for when September (and beyond!) arrives. I, in turn will share anything I find out along the way. Thanks and good luck, Tara
