is this possible? I had my pre-Reg last tuesday the inspector was happy and said I'd passed ect.

I've just has a parent meeting they were very keen and want to start asap - as in tomorrow!

Am I allowed to start without my Cert up on the wall?

thanks Faye

i always thought you had to wait until you got your cert and it was displayed. i could be wrong? probably best to check with ofsted

oh yeah do you have your crb back? aswell?

:( no big no no you cannot start childminding until you have this on display if you do it so serious you will risk losing and it not worth it :(

yes I've had them back weeks.

faye

I am in Wales and the CSSIW phoned me with my registration number and I could start then. My certificate took another 6 weeks! :eek: Best check with Ofsted tho as they may work differently to CSSIW x

You need to have public liability insurance and cant get that till you have your certificate.

My first family waited 4 weeks for my certificate to come through.

I have my insurance I purchased it the day the inspector left.... they didnt say i coulddnt x

I don't know about new childminders but when applying for a variation (pre change) you could start with the new variation provided it had been updated on the Ofsted website - might be worth looking online to see if you are on there... Xx

I was going to say the same. If your details are on the Ofsted website you should be OK without the actual certificate - you can print the details off if you need to. I've done it before with variations and was told I was covered as soon as it was updated on their system.
I'd phone Ofsted and ask if you're on there yet.

do i just search for myself via name and address?

Hi, I had to wait until I got my certificate, it came about 6 days after my inspection x

It is a condition of your registration that your certificate is displayed.

It is stated in the EYFS - requirement 3.75.

Please do not take wrong advice and work illegally.

Hth :D

Ok so I just wait it out? Can I chase ofsted? Also can I ask the family to sign contracts?

Thanks x

Theres nothing to stop you ringing Ofsted but it does take about a week going by mine arriving and what Ive seen on here. As for contracts, as long as youre sure your certificate is coming then that should be ok but I wouldnt take any money off parents just incase. x

Ring ofsted and ask.

If you're on the system then I don't see a problem.
Ring and ask :D

I was told not to even advertise (not even stating 'in the process of registering') before registered.

Hth :D

I did say... "I don't know about new childminders" was just passing on my experience x

Best phone ofsted!

I've spoken to them today again! Should be on its way finally!!

Sorry I forgot to update this, I was 'made active' on the 20th online I called and spoke to ofsted who gave me my reg number and allowed me to start. Still not got my certificate.....
