Question now that I have 2 mindees

[mrs_scottydog]

I'm newly registered and have just taken on two new mindees. I've been looking at some of the posts in this section and found one that says that I need to inform Ofsted now that I have started minding. Do I just need to call their normal helpline number or is there a different one to call?
The answer is probably very obvious but my brain is on a go slow today!

You dont need to let them know. The only exception to this is if you have been reg a while and had to 'put off' an inspection due to having no eyfs children - then you need to let them know when you do have some. hth x

Thanks, that's one less thing I've got to worry about!

They called me about 4 mths after I was registered but I wasn't minding at that time. They sent me a letter telling me I needed to inform them when I started minding. I called the normal number :thumbsup:

I'm sure I was told you have to inform them..... I just called the normal number.
