CM Club - re-registering as a childminder

[jenijo]

I have been registered as a cm in the passed and have had ofsted inspection about 3 years ago. Since then circumstances changed and I haven't been minding, so I let my registation slip. If I want to start again, will I have to go through the whole training period again? Also, my original training waw before ofsted took over, but I have had a ofsted inspection.

Given the length of time, I expect that you need to go through the registration process again, from scratch. Though do put on your application that you were previously registered (along with registration number) so should they be able to use past information they can.

If you have already done the ICP then you should not need to do that again. If your course was not the ICP then you will need to chat with Ofsted to establish if they still feel it is suitable. First Aid will need to be done, and it now has to be a 12-hour course. CRB checks will need to be done. Health check may need to be done.
