My nanny won't give me her ofsted number

Hi
Is there anywhere else I can get an ofsted number from? My nanny is on maternity leave and the tax credits people have written quite a threatening letter to me demanding all my info by a certain date. I have text and emailed her but no response. I really need it as they will stop payments if I do t provide all info.

If she was away surely she could just text me 'I'm away'.

Is there anywhere else I can get it from?

deerkitty. She is on maternity leave. 3 days is no time when you have a small baby.

This is important to you. She has a lot more on her plate so you needing her ofsted number isn't important to her.

If you've been as abrupt to her as you were in your last post, she's probably deleted your message.

I've managed to get it by phoning the tax credits and getting from them. I know she must have a lot on but I'm not impressed I've given her three days to come back to me and I am her employer.

Ahhh I understand- all you can do is keep on, I know she will obviously have other things on here mind with newborn baby, perhaps you could send her a text and pop round to her house? X

It's regarding the last tax year when before she went off. To be honest I have no issues if she doesn't want to return I just need the number.

Can you still get tax credits if she is off on maternity leave?

If she is a nanny she won't have an Ofsted report, just a certificate. All you can do is ring/leave a message expressing the importance.

Is there any chance that she may not be returning to work? If so that may explain her hesitance x

I called ofsted and they can see she is registered but can't give me the number for data protection reasons. She did showed me her certificate when I employed her but I never kept a copy.

If she's away, she may not have got your messages.

Phone her and explain?

How do you know she's registered with ofsted if you don't have her number? Did you have it and lose it?

Do you know she definitely has an ofsted number? She doesn't need one. Maybe she hasn't got one?

I would look on the ofsted website for her inspection report.
