I've just submitted an online form to my local environmental health to register with them. Does anyone know what happens next? I know they are saying i need to register with them at least 28 days before starting my business. I'm hoping to get started as soon as i get my certificate and get some mindees...so don't want environmental health to be slowing me down!!! Will they send me a letter saying i'm registered now or will they inspect me first???

Thanks, Kelly:)

Sorry Kelly I can't really help you.

I live in an area where we don't have to register at the moment so haven't gone through the process at all.

Hopefully someone who has done this will see this post soon.

I had to register ages ago

I had a telephone call

They sent me a form to fill in

I filled in the form and sent it off

They called me and asked if I mind over 6 children at any one time - I said no

So they said ok they will not have to come out and see me

I then had a letter back to confirm that I was registered with them

I think it took about 7 days in all to complete

Good luck

I registered & it was similar to Angel.

Rang them, completed a form & that was me done. :)

Hello. Can't help you but wondered how you know weather or not you need to register with envirnomental heath? I seem to remember something was said about it on our ICP but cant remember! Had comepletly forgotten about it untill I saw this thread.

The only way I knew about it is because I had a call about it

So for the moment I would not worry about it unless someone calls you or sends you a letter - otherwise how do they expect you to know about it ?

I rang them when I first registered and they told me I didn't need to register with them.

I got a letter and questionnaire off them today asking me to register.

I wouldn't worry too much about it, it seems to vary from region to region :)

Just wanted to wish you good luck

They told us at our briefing session that we needed to register with environmental health. If it only takes about 7 days then that should be ok then:)
