YAY......Got Certificate yesterday

[kangel]

Just needed to tell people that I received my Registered Childminding certificate yesterday as I have been keeping it quiet from work.

Just need some mindees now!!

Yay to myself!!

Congrats... you can now officially childmind.
Call CIS, let them now, as the Ofsted update can sometimes take a while, then put on your calendar to call them once every 2 weeks, so your name remains near the top of their list.

Start promoting yourself everywhere you can... September is nearly here, bound to be some parents looking for childcare for September start.
Simple A4 sized advert in back window of your car may look a bit tacky, but can work wonders. Get listed on as many childminder related websites as possible... such as Childminder-UK | ukChildminder to name two. See the Advertising Tips list for more suggestions.

Wow - congratulations

Have you seem we have our own bit for when we want other C/Mers to comment

We just put Childminder's Club at the start of our title & other C/Mers will look out for it and answer

well done but you might find that cis will say nothing as the list gets passed over on a certain and they cant add/change any details till ofsted send it over.

Congratulations!

When I registered I was really impatient and rang cis the day my certifcate came through and they sent me the forms to fill in so that as soon as they got the list from OFSTED they just entered my details. So they might do the same with you.
