thanks jess xx

Best thing I would advise is ask ofsted. They make the decision so give them a ring.

I would of thought he has proved himself as a changed grown up man. So I would say it shouldn't hinder your chances but agree ring Ofsted and ask and maybe get them to email you the answer too so you have it in writing. A past is a past and if he has proven he is a "changed" person and learnt from his mistakes then you should be fine :-) Xx

If it gets flagged up during the dbs check then ofsted will have to make a decision.

They can put waivers on your registration such as he will not be allowed in the house while you are working.

unfortunately the only people who know this are ofsted so maybe a call to them to see what their advice will be

Yeah I know a child minder who's hubby had a gdh charge an was not allowed in the house when she is minding the children x

Gbh I ment

I know of another hubby who had a string of offences as he is an assistant now. It might be a no but unless it relates to the children I would be surprised.
