Hi all -
I have a few questions for you, if you don't mind.

I have just submitted my paperwork online and was wondering:

A) when do I pay the reg fee, as it didn't ask for money on submission?
B) I received an email saying my app was being looked over by a member of staff & then an email saying my application had been successfully submitted - how long does it generally take before you get a phone call to book in pre reg visit from this point please?
C) if I want to make my husband an assistant at some point, how long does it take to make the changes at ofsteds end?
D) what should I be studying right now, in order to feet thru pre reg visit please? What do they ask etc?


Many thanks in advance - am somewhat panicking now :-/

The registration process is here - https://www.gov.uk/register-childminder-childcare-provider/how-to-apply

It all happens in order - with quite a bit of waiting in between normally!!

The best way to prepare for your pre-reg go through your training notes and make sure you are ready to start working :D

Thanks Sarah.... everything done, and just waiting for phone call for pre reg visit.

I am getting myself in a bit of a flap though, as I cannot find anything difinitive about what polices etc I need to have in place for the ofsted visit....can you point me in the right direction please? TIA xx

Hi,

I've just submitted my application to ofsted :)

Are you now registered? If you are how long did it take for them to get back in touch with you?
