    I think it depends on how busy they are, mine took about 12 weeks from when I sent form in! I kept ringing them after 3 weeks. hope you hear from them soon xx
    If all else fails......add glitter!

    Hi

    Ofsted came out to me before all my CRB forms were back, they were really helpful on the first visit, but I would strongly recommend completing your booklet, the Ofsted inspector went through mine with me and that was pretty much it, apart from a check of the house and a few scenarios.

    Hope it all goes well
    Good Luck

    Thank you so much for the replies! has put my mind at ease as if it takes 12 weeks i should be registered in Jan.
    I have done all courses and gotCRB back so it shoulld be pretty straight forward.

    leeanne10 the booklet is called 'preparing for your registration visit' i have started to fill mine out. hopefully it will help if i get stuck on the visit.
    Good luck
