Hello Ladies,
I have spoken to ofsted this morning and i was advised that it will take 12 weeks for me to complete my registration!

Is this normal?

thanks
Pat

That's pretty quick if you ask me!

I support new minders, some are registered within that time, but others have taken 9 months or more :eek:

took me almost a year :thumbsup:

Hi
It took three months to the day from my registration visit to having my certificate in my hand. Before that I'd already started the 6 week training course!

12 weeks is realy quick.
My registration took 9 months. Two of my CM friends both took over 12months to become registered.

I started the process in the January and was not registered until the September! So 12 weeks is really quick x

I was registered from my first info meeting to getting my certificate in 4.5 months which I was told was very quick but I was very PROACTIVE :D

Even many, many moons ago, long before Ofsted, when things were nowhere near as complicated it took me longer than 12 weeks! :laughing:

Miffy xx

Briefing session July 09, course Sept 09.Only then was i allowed to submit my reg forms.Northumberlands policy.
Took til April 2010 for everything to be sorted.That's with my forms being in in November 2009.You will find it's usually your crb check that takes its time.That itself can take 12 weeks.Sorry theres no better news but it really isn't quick :(

i would say 12 weeks is optimistic

I was also told it would take 12 weeks so thought I had plenty of time to organise myself. However, it only took 3 weeks from the pre-reg visit to getting my Certificate and was totally unprepared!

According to the other posts here, it appears that I was very lucky but it goes to show it can be completed in less than 12 weeks. I guess it just depends on how long the CRB takes.

Michelle x :jump for joy:

I had my ofsted inspection in March, had my CRB back, waiting for my partners still! - the only thing holding my reg up - my 12 weeks from sending the the application 3rd March! have definately passed!

Hope yours is quicker than mine!x

Mine took 9 months x

suppose I will just have to see how it goes then lol thanks for all your replies!

Its very frustrating as I have lots of parents waiting for me and I dont want to loose them!
