from the forms being sent of??
have a girl over today from dd's nursery and her mum has asked me to look after her when she go's back to work in october.
my forms havent been sent of yet so if it takes 3 months that may mean i miss out on looking after her cos the mum will be stuck until im official.
im going to speak to C.C.p in morning about insurance etc, but its the paper work that takes an age isnt it??
arrghh..theyre slipping through my fingers!

I think that's what you didn't want to hear

CRB MINIMUM 4 weeks for their receipt of the forms

You don't get the CRB form until you have sent in your CM1 and it has been processed

I think you have a problem

cant get crb form until ive handed apllication in.
ofsted will be out within 3 weeks from tomorrow.
it 'could' have been thru for octiber but she told me cos weve moved a few times in last 5 years that would hold it up while they checked all address's
asked if my previous treatment for pnd would be prob and she said it could

so have rang gp, spoke to receptionist who is kindly going to put note of form to ask doctor to write in ten foot high letters that although i 'as' getting treatment, i am now not taking any medication and am better off without it..god...so many things crossed

Yes up to 2hrs a day - you don't need to be registered

Remember to tell the mum you are not insured until you are registered

EvesMama · 15/08/2006 20:01

Nope - took less than 1 month to get CRB check for our nanny, this was a couple of weeks ago (we are in London).
