    Did you not have one after becoming registered to get your grade? Have you been looking after under 5s? I would certainly ring them if you haven't had a graded inspection.

    Didn't you get an inspection after you had been registered for 6 months?

    It took them 11m to come and do my first one. 16m does sound a long time doesn't it

    No, I have no grading. Had someone come out to ok a variation for 2 under 1s after a month of minding and since then nothing. I'm in two minds as to whether I should give them a poke or keep my head down. I feel a bit like I MIght be in trouble for not having had a grading yet.

    If your ready for it and up to date with paperwork etc then give them a ring and ask what's going on. You wont be in trouble, its their fault not yours. They will probably say they are behind and it will be xxx months.

    Ive still not had my new certificate yet for the changes in Sept. Dont know why its taking so long to print out new certificates.
