Hi

Not sure if Im on the right thread here but yesterday when Mrs O came she mentioned that as I have a 9year old I should register as voluntary childcare register (as mum wont be able to claim benefits?) she it would cost me. said Does anyone know how much extra or how much it will cost me?

We didn't have to pay it was just done automatically when the registers were changed for dh and myself.

You should be on it already?

Most people were put on all 3 registers unless they opted out of one.

Go to your page on the Ofsted site and double check.

If it's definitely not there I'd email Ofsted tomorrow and ask for more information...

Did you pay £30 to OFSTED before your pre-reg visit? I thought this covered both registers.

Wil double check sarah but yesterday a bit of a haze now and sure she said that for some reason I hadnt been included on this register but all she had to do was click a button and I will be added but will have to pay (think she meant when renewing???? sorry to be vague....after hardly any sleep for about a week trying to update what she said to be and update a few things and then remember her saying something about cost...will get on line to ofsted now and check.

I thought if you paid £30 you went on all registers, if you pay the high fee then you only go on the Early years one.

If it their mistake then you shouldn't have to pay to have it amended.
