I sent in our nanny's application at the end of July along with our cheque for £99 which was cashed early by the Childcare Approval agency in August...
...17 weeks later, still no approval or rejection
...just a pathetic "we've escalated your CRB application !!!...it will take 2 weeks until we will hear back from the crim records bureau
That'll be 20 weeks - 5 months to process!
i'm furious that they are so damn slow.
yet they've taken my money for 'administration' and to process the CRB check
and i've had to nudge them all the way to follow up and chase up
And supposedly i'm supposed to do this every 12 months to keep her approved!
Anyone else think this is system is a bureaucracy is crazy?
anyone else in same boat?
