    Post Does Havering give *start-up grants*?

    Hi I am a Pre -Reg and I was wondering if anyone from Havering know if we can get a start-up grant to help with some of the costs ? I know some boroughs have them , but I haven't seen anything about Havering doing the grant.

    No there was no one there who could help me either today useless...

    Im just off Gallows Corner, just off Straight Road.

    I sent off the questionaire sheet off but still havent heard bk from them with a date. I asked when I phoned today but no one could tell me any information that seems to be their standard response "Sorry im not sure on that one"

    Are you paying for the 1st aid course? My friend is a childminder in Dagenham and she said the first aid course was included when she did her ICP so she didnt have to pay for anything

    Hi yeah, I had to pay £123 .I couldnt believe how dear it was. Now they say that we cant get registered until we have done our 1st aid course.and we cant go on the icp course until we get our childminding cert.We have 6 mths after we are registered to do our icp course. Im going to put my 1st aid bill for expensives on the tax.

    oh yeah thats a good idea re claiming the 1st aid on the tax

    I didnt realise you had to pay for the 1st aid. When I did the course before (mind you it was just over 5 yrs ago AND in birmingham) the whole thing was free.

    Suppose things do change ... tut more money lol
