Scary and exciting

Well done. The first step's the hardest.

Yay! Go you. Good luck with it all. (didn't get a chance to use the bunny over Easter!)

I'm hopefully about to get my formal OFSTED registration certificate after several months of waiting. It's been a long road, but I'll be really happy once I can finally get some more children on my books and start to earn money to support my family!

Have a and some to celebrate!

Thankyou
They were delayed in sending my log in hv been waiting ages

When it comes to it, don't be afraid to chase up your documents, I've found OFSTED to be really disorganised! I was waiting for my certificate and when I phoned them to see where it was they were arranging a pre-registration visit for me instead of sending it out.

I explained that I didn't need a visit as I'm not on the Early Years register as I'm only looking after over 5s. They toddled off to check, sounding thoroughly confused, then came back and agreed that I didn't need a check! This was 2 weeks ago and still no certificate - aghhh!
