I bet this has been asked a billion times, but I was wondering if you ladies could give me a rough idea of when I should be good to go.
I have had my pre-reg visit on 8th May, my existing crb form was accepted, and at the visit the inspector said all my checks had already come back. We had to do a new crb for dh cos his current one is too old, so that was completed on the day. She didnt mention any recommendations to be carried out on the day, and I havent received any notification of any, so I think that was all fine.
So how long do you reckon it will take to get my cert? I had heard that crbs were only taking around 3 weeks at the moment, but not sure how true this is.
Im also having a hard time from the local reg advisor, who cant seem to understand that the ofsted inspector deemed it unecessary for me to do another ICP as I did it (in a various form) 15 years ago when I was registered the first time - I have only had a 5 year gap from minding, plus I am a qualified infant school teacher, so the inspector (and her line manager) decided I meet the requirement "must do a pre reg course". This advisor woman spent 10 mins arguing with me on the phone that I couldnt just do the first aid course, I had to do the new combined course and anyway, she couldnt guarantee how long it will take for me to get onto a first aid course! (she was really snotty with me). She was also supposed to send me a grant form (as I have never had one) and the child protection chart, but neither have turned up yet!!
Sorry to rant, feel better now Ive got it off my chest.
