Our CD officer said on friday she was awaiting an e mail from Ofsted to confirm what she was told by Ofsted at the meeting about them changing the guidelines. So as soon as she has something in writing i will put it on here.

But she did state that you do not have to be registered to pick up an 8 year old from school.

That it is up to minders if they want to be on the voluntary register or not.

I hope that they will soon get their act together and sort this mess out.
