Yay we have to pay for them now. Great help to lower childcare costs

Exactly what I thought, on top of all the other things. People aren't going to bother notifying ofsted when someone moves into their house because of the cost.

How much is that going to cost us ?

I've just had to pay for a CRB check and it was £44. May have gone up now its that new thing rather than a CRB though.

I think it's around £44 ... we don't need to renew them though! It's only for new DBS checks.

More info here :D

I'm hoping I don't have to pay seeing as I put the applications in 6 weeks ago but got sent back to me a couple of days ago due to missing info- I have two- one for my sister who is moving into my house and one for my new assistant so that's £88 :(

Maybe thats why I haven't heard back from ds one then? I tried to get it in before the cut-off :eek:
