sorry.... not sure where to post this so I thought I'd ask in here

I am level 3 qualified and rated "good" in my last inspection. I am currently on maternity leave and not childminding at all. How long can I take off for maternity leave without having to re apply again? I am keeping my insurance and all other paperwork and courses updated while on maternity leave.

I was told up to three years.

thank you very much for your help

That gives me a lot longer than i thought!
