Will the reference number that OFSTED have given me now be the same number that I have once I am registered?

They should be processing my registration today/tomorrow morning but I'll have to wait for my certificate to arrive in the post.

I have a mindee lined up who has been waiting for me to be registered. Mum will need to contact the CTC people so that she gets the childcare element to pay me in future. I presume she'll need my reg number.

Yes - it should be EY & then 6 numbers
HTH:)

I think it's EY then 6 numbers but will be the same

Miffy xx

Yes it should be the same.

Mine is EY followed by 6 numbers x

Thank you! :D
