of getting my neighbour registered as my assistant, getting variations to cover when she is here, so i can have more children and the 10/11 months i have been thinking about/worrying about what i would do to deal with being over my numbers, finding someone to be my assistant ....

one of my children has changed his hours and from April, i won't need an assistant !!!!:rolleyes:

luckily, my neighbour is not put out, and is happy to just work this month! she is going to stay registered as my assistant, so, should i need her in the future, she is 'ready to go' !!! plus she now has an up to date crb check, and peadiatric first aid !!! i'm disapointed, as i was looking forward to working with her, but i can't afford to pay her without the extra child! plus the child who has changed his hours, has also reduced his hours by half.

Oh no! Thank goodness your neighbour is so understanding.....

glad you are sorted and she is happy to jump in to help when needed.

Typical when you get everything sorted someone has to throw a spanner in..........lucky for you your neighbour understands.

i have two friends who have helped me out and become my assistants and help when needed x

how long did it take for your assistant to become your assistant?

from the moment i posted the form, to the day i got the approval letter ... about 2 1/2 mths. having spoken to ofsted though, it is dependant upon how long the CRB takes, and they can't chase crb, until 60 days have passed!
