Ofsted registration??

[Supernanny86]

Hi,

I'm a nanny and in the process of registering for ofsted, I've sent all doc and info, courses etc that they wanted. Rang and checked how far along my application is today and they say there waiting on more info from social services?? They have info from them on the 2nd but there's more to follow. What would this be to do with? I have no children of my own and my family has never been involved with them??

Thanks in advance xx

As far as Im aware they check that you have never been reported to them in any way relating to children. It might be worth you breaking protocol as the checks on my OH took forever to come through. They were having issues with their system and the link between ss and ofsted.

This happened to me too and is quite common I think. Basically because the social care departments are really stretched and so childminder checks are low priority for them and get left until Ofsted send them a reminder. Hope you don't have to wait too much longer x

So there's nothing I can do to hurry it along?! When I spoke to ofsted earlier they just say they're waiting on SS! Bit annoying considering they harassed me for docs only 3 days after I applied (they were in the post) and that was over 2 months ago!! x

I don't know. I did ask Ofsted if they could give me the SS dept contact details so I could enquire with them myself, but they couldn't. And then I figured the Ofsted reminder after a month would probably have more effect than me trying to ask them anyway. (I saw it because Ofsted sent the one about me to ME instead of the SS and it says, politely but firmly, 'please respond to this reminder within 7 days'.) x

"Do as we say and not as we do" springs to mind!!!

I actually found a contact number for ss and chased it myself in the end. Might be worth a try?
