how do I get my assistants registered as a childminder when my local authorities have

Hi
my local authorities have stopped the childminding course. I want to register my two assistants as childminders. Do ofsted do this? Looking on there web page theres links, "become a childminder". I have heard pacey do this? Has anyone used them?
If so can I ask what you did, ie course, medical ofsted ect

my assistants both have nvq 3 in childcare

not too sure where to ring next x tia

You can certainly try pacey. I got started through them myself. That was 2 yrs ago though so it might be different now. Also they are my la here too.
