Hi :panic: I have my reg visit on the 25th and have been answering the questions in the preparing for your visit booklet.

Can anyone help me with this one when I look on the ofsted site I get totally confused
Here go's If you are applying to be on both registers Early years and childcare, have you considered if there are any differences between the requirments of the two registers. If so how might this apply to your service.

Any help would be no short of amazing xx

Karen:idea:

If you go on the resources page at the top of this page it has the requirements books for both registers. Sorry can't be much more help forgot what I put down and away for the weekend. If you haven't found the answer I will post on Monday evening :D

Have had a look, but am still a bit confused I am going to try to speak with my development worker before the inspector comes.:panic: :panic: :panic:

It just means if you are applying to be on both registers (early years and childcare), you need to check if there are any differences and how you will manage these in your setting.

For example when I applied there were differences between the registers for the complaints procedure, so it meant that I needed to have a different complaints policy/procedures for children under 5 and children over 5. This has changed since, and I have changed my paperwork but can't remember if there is still a difference, sorry!

Hope that helps a bit :)
