Hi,
I am planning to become childminder !
It is an exciting change of career as I am originaly accountant. Thanks a lot for this useful forum which helps me to find my way in this path...
I have already called my future LA and Pacey to get informations but it is always good to get advices from other experiences !
My situation :
I am actualy living in Manchester and my family and I are planning to move begining of April in Knutsford (to be close to my husband's work). I called Knutsford council to ask about the pre-reg course and I have been told that the next briefing is going to be in few months (6 months !). So I am thinking to do this briefing and pre-reg course with an onile provider (Eg.Pacey) as it will be more convenient too as I have children at home. I called Pacey too and they confirm me that Oftsed reconize their course.
My questions are :
1/Could you recomend me an online pre-reg course provider reconized by Ofsted ? (I only know Pacey )
2/Can I start my online course with Pacey in Manchester and then finish it in Knutsford ? I called Pacey and they told me I could as it is an online course-I would just have to update my adress once I move-Has someone had any issue with Pacey when moving ?
3/How long does it take you to complete the online pre reg course ? (I was told 3 month by Pacey)
Any other advice for me ??
Thanks for reading me !
