I was chatting to one of you recently about the stresses of moving house and you were just about to.

I need you ASAP - Ofsted causing me problems, just like they did you but I can't find the thread to remind me what you did about it!

HELP!!!

May be moving in 2½ weeks

Not sure if this document is still current, but Ofsted do mention about Childminders Moving House
Prompt points for inspections - April 2005 - MS Word Document

It says that a Childminder will get an inspection "Within 6 months of move if not visited at the time", Subject to a risk assessment taking into account previous inspection judgements and the provider complaints history.

Not sure if that helps though.

Childminders moving house is an issue that gets raised time and time again - has NCMA (and their counterparts in Scotland and Wales) not come to some agreement with the regulatory authorities yet?

In England, legally I think you can not childmind until you have a Registration Certificate that states the new address. Not sure if the Childcare Act 2006 has made any changes to that.
Section 33 and 35 I think are the sections of most interest. Is there a Lawyer in the house? Does the Childcare Act 2006 register The Provider, The Premises or Both, when it comes to Early Years Childminding?

Many Thanks. Tried all that I need to go through certain Ofsted channels as they're having none of it.

They are sooooo crap it's untrue - NOTHING is EVER simple with them!

Sorry, can you tell I'm stressed

Thanks very much, someone is talking to me now . Unfortunately, I found those threads in my search but they are not the one I was looking for.

There is a minder here who moved very recently and had same problem as I'm having - Ofsted told them they can't childmind until they've had an inspection. She explained what she did to sort it out but I can't find the thread and can't remember who it was.

Thanks very much anyway
