Started the process of registering in Jan! Got my certificate through - at last!:jump for joy: - this weekend, and it's wrong - or at least I hope it's wrong:angry: !! It says I can have 3 children between the ages of 1yr and under 8. That means no children under 1yr!! I have advertised from 6mths and have a 7mth old starting with me in October:eek: ! Anyone else had similar problems?

Have you any children of your own and what are their ages?

Do you have any children of your own? What were you told at your pre-reg inspection re numbers?:)

If you don't have a child under 1year yourself then call ofsted & ask them to change your certificate to include a child under 1year :)

Yes if you think it is wrong the best thing to do is call Ofsted so they can put it right

Hi - yes I have two children of my own - both over 1yr (20mths and nearly 4yrs) I was told nothing about under ones at my pre-reg visit. Have phoned Ofsted who say I need to talk to the inspector and she has not called me back today :mad: - will ring them again tomorrow.

I'm sure when you tell her you want a child under 1 years on the certificate you will have no problems :)

Oh dear :(
I hope it is a mistake rather than the inspector deciding not to let you mind that age group until your children are a bit older...
She should have mentioned that at pre-reg though...
I hope you get it sorted soon! :)

Make sure with Ofsted that you would like your certificate for under one as well as 1-8 years as it could be done of play space per child
