Maternity break

[itsybitsyteeny]

Hello - if I take a break from childminding for maternity reasons do I need to let ofsted know I won't be minding for a while? Or do I continue to pay my annual registration fee?

Continue to pay the registration fee but let them know

If I did end my registration with them and decided to start up again in the future - would I have to go through the registration process all over again? Thanks for your help

Yes you would.
You can stay registered for 3 years with no children on roll though.

So if I had no children on roll - would I still need to have insurance ?
