Thanks for that. Is Kent CFiS managed by Kent County Council?

It is and always has been...

Recently however (4th April onwards) we have had a restructure where the CFIS Service is now managed by Kent County Council's Contact Centre


Thanks for that. Is Kent CFiS managed by Kent County Council?

I wish all areas were the same, my area couldn't help me with a problem I had, I posted on here and you very kind people helped me out straight away, can we get you to help us all no matter where we are?:laughing: :laughing:
Teacake2

thanks for the kind feedback :)

For other area's we can only really give signposting to other FIS - if its a general issue or concern we try to give the best advice we can.

It odesn't work for me!

I can't write anything in the boxes, it just won't work :(

Me neither, perhaps just a glitch. :)

I managed to do it last week but went through the web site & not the link! Try that:D

we are not aware of any issues?

what browser are you using? version numbers as well if possible...

If you are reviewing any of the reports you'll have to use the search function
- or use ctrl + f

sadly some of my contact info had not been updated even after i had requested the correction a number of times :( I have emailed again and i really hope that someone will be able to change my email and website...

The following information is not able to be updated by us - this has to be updated by OfSTED who in turn will update us when they have updated their systems - the reason for this is that OfSTED are the 'data controllers' for this information and we cannot change it.

OfSTED supplied information
Your Registered Name
Your Registered Address
Your Registered Contact Details - Tel / Fax / Mob / Email
Your Settings Name
Your Settings Address
Your Settings Contact Details - Tel / Fax / Email
Your Registered Status
Your Registration Date

Information as to the time and duration of the provision of childcare
Your Conditions Of Registration

Information as to the number and ages of children to whom childcare is to be provided (where applicable) or maximum numbers of children to be looked after (where no numbers and ages condition is set)

Information connected with any enforcement action taken against the provider (notices of intention, notices of decision, welfare requirements notices)

Name of the local authority where the childcare premises are located

Date of the most recent inspection

Care judgement for the most recent inspection

Whether the person is on the Early Years Register, compulsory part of the Childcare Register, and/or voluntary part of the Childcare Register

BUT...

We are working on the portal to allow you secure access to your OfSTED data to send updates direct to OfSTED - we hope this will speed up updates provided to ofsted and in turn to us.

HOWEVER...

If the information you wanted was not one of the above we'll gladly alter it with immediate effect. :)

If it is OfSTED data - all we can suggest is that you contact them to chase it up - http://www.ofsted.gov.uk/Ofsted-home/About-us/Contact-us

I'm using the latest version of Firefox. Not only can I not enter details as a provider, I can't search as a prospective service user either....

Sorry, not being picky, but I have no way of knowing if my details are correct or not :(

we are not aware of any issues?

what browser are you using? version numbers as well if possible...


I use Firefox (latest verson) on Mac OSX 10.5.8

:)

thanks for picking this up - i did a x browser check as we have had an upgrade recently and the issue seems to be when firefox is used...

i'm looking into the issue at present but a bizarre way round this appears to be if you right hand click inside the field then the flashing cursor is available to allow you to type.

all other browsers are seemingly unaffected.

I'll provided an update once fixed.

thanks again
Kent CFIS

I cant find myself on there :panic:

Put in my details and it says no results found.

Does this cover Medway???

hi ~chelle~

the directory only covers Kent Authority based providers, Medway has its own directory being it own authority - http://www.medwayfisd.com/kb5/medway/fis/home.page

Thanks, I thought so :)

That does work! Thank you, I'd been getting quite frustrated with it :)

Uploading a Logo

After reviewing a few posts (http://www.childmindinghelp.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=84303) on here we put forward a request for logo's to be available via our online directory

We have just received word that this development has been approved and will be coming online soon - i'll post up when its available

Hi, I sent my details in and they're on the system but I don't remember having a password to use for updating my details. Do I need to register online somewhere too? Thanks x

send me a pm with your name and ofsted urn and i'll take a look at the consent you gave us
