Getting started

[Lisa Jane]

I have completed the childminding course and I am now looking into a first aid course but it looks like I will have to wait until the end of August until the next one is running, what I was wondering was could I still start the ofsted application as I have heard it can take a long time TIA

welcome to the forum and the mad world of childminding!

I'm sorry I don't know the answer to your question as I have been registered a long time. hopefully one of the more recently registered childminders will be able to help you.

good luck xx

Not when I sent in my application last October. They required the dates on my FA certificate and the awarding body etc. Along with LA training dates and DBS numbers. I even started my application whilst I was waiting for my DBS and saved it, but the site lost it! So I don't even know if it's worth working ahead with this. :S

Welcome to the forum! It's really informative. :)
