Hi all
I'm new :waving: I've completed the intro to childminding courses and just waiting for a date to start cypop5 . I was reading something on ofsted website which said it can take 25 weeks for them to process your application. Eek. Does that fit with your experience? I feel like I'm never going to get registered at this rate. My cypop5 course keeps getting delayed as well.
How long did the process take you to get registered?

It can take anything from 3 - 12 months depending on where you live and how long all the checks take to come back...

This thread might help you to plot the progress of your application :D

Thanks for your reply and link. Finger crossed it will be nearer 3 months rather than 12 months :)
