Hi. Re above course. Had email today from EY training people as I had informed them I had taken the course online. They say they are not aware of any online food hygiene course and would I send them the information about the course and where I got my information from so they can check it's an accepted certificate before it can be added to my training details. Anybody else had any problems with this? Sorry if this isn't where I should be asking this

Shows you what they know then doesn't it!!

Ofsted where really impressed with mine and it is them that matter at the end of the day not the EY team.

Thats a shame

Well any course that you do can only be a good thing so they should have been praising you

Hope they are impressed when they have checked it out

Thanks. As it's not compulsory anyway I thought any course was better than none. Going to email it all to them this morning and see what they have to say

We all have to register round here now and need level 2 food hygeine.

The council are running courses but they are charging £15 and it takes 2 x 3 hour sessions or a whole saturday to do

And there is a waiting list!

I just did it online. It took an hour to read all the onfo and 9 minutes to complete the test. I scored 90% too so very pleased!

Your the first I've heard that it is compulsory, suppose it won't be long until it is the same for all of us.

Well done on your score

It won't be the exact same course because different trainers uses different styles, if you get what I mean.

Yep, we all had letters last week with forms to fill in and register with environmental health.

If we are low risk, it is doubtful we will get a visit. High risk are subject to on the spot checks at anytime! We have been told that we need to deep clean our kitchens every 6 months

The world has gone mad!

We had to circle what we did and didnt provide for the minded children. Luckily I dont cook for them or make up formula feed and they all come with packed lunches so I am a low risk.

I dont know how they are going to police this though as come september I will have a 4 month old baby so will therefore be providing formula feeds.

Seems like this may well be rolled out accross the country, sorry should have posted in the main section to let you know we had been given the letter, will make a post tomorrow.

Hi
I just completed this course, would recommend, really simple to do. I did it in approx 2 hours. My local school had in-house training for the same qualification and it took a WHOLE day to complete. I will be going back for some of their other courses.

I have had a call from environmental health asking what food I supply which is just snacks and lunch, they said they are carrying out visits on all childminders supplying food in my area (Essex). Has anyone had a visit? What will they do...root through my kitchen cupboards???????

Well done Sarah

As regards environmental health, they will chat with you about food hygiene, preparation and see where you prepare food, any pets etc.

Have you got a copy of the new Safer Food Better Business for Childminders?

There is a link somewhere.
