Nanny & Ofsted Registration & DBS checks - help!

Hello,
We recently got a new nanny. She great and the kids love her and we need to start paying some of her wages with our childcare vouchers (they've been building up in our voucher provider account since we removed the kids from nursery) before I have to sell a kidney on ebay!

She has registered with Ofsted so we can do this but we're both a bit ???? about what happens next. I think I need (or she needs?) to get a DBS check?

Not sure if I need to do that through an agency or she needs to do that through the government/Capita scheme. Any ideas? What happens then?

If anyone's done this already, I'd be really glad to hear how it went - we're a bit confused by the whole process!
Thanks in advance

She filled it all out online- but started application when her position started, possibly last year? I don't know what the hold up was with her form...she was off on sick for a while...I just think Ofsted try and try to make the registration process simpler, but filling out a paper version and posting it was much more straightforward than this!
