I emailed a variation request on 6th Dec. It wasn't urgent, so didn't worry too much about how long it took.
Anyway, I had a call this morning to say it had all been approved and a new certificate is on it's way to me. The last one I had took weeks & I had to keep chasing it, so I'm very impressed :thumbsup:

Sometimes Ofsted do surprise us.

Well done on getting it :thumbsup:

Wahoooooooo

Well done to you great news

Congratulations!!! Isn't it always the way when its not urgent it comes through quickly, but when you need it in a rush .................................................. :angry:

Hi

I too emailed a variation on the 8th December and received my new certificate in the post this morning with variation on.

Very impressed.

think they must have made some changes...

my quickest one was....

15 minutes!! didn't even fill in a form, it was granted over the phone. but it was an emergency situation as my sister was poorly and I thought I would have to have her dd...

Sorry what is a variation, is it a change to your numbers? What are the requirements to get one?

Thanks

Often about increasing the number of children you look after but it means a request to change the conditions on your registration certificate.

Thats great!!

That's fab!

I got mine on Friday, I'd put in for it the previous Friday so one week! Mine was urgent though and I did phone on Friday morning and ask if anybody had chance to look at it yet as I was closing for Christmas and wanted to get it sorted before I did so I could relax with my family. They phoned me back within 4 hours and it was granted.

I've had one granted over the phone in 15 minutes before too. Sometimes they are brilliant.

i had my variation removed last month but need to request a new one as mindee aged 4 his mum is at uni and her days have changed from jan so need a variation for a wednesday :laughing:

That gives me hope - I've got to apply for one for 10 Jan so hopefully it will come through in time.

the last one i asked for was delt with fairly quickly aswel
well done

I'm testing them now! Have just sent my variation request in - needed for 2 weeks time. Last request was dealt with in TWO month:mad: s!!!!!!!
