CM Club: will mindee be viewed as a rising 5 ?

[Tan1959]

Hi all

I know Looneytune has just asked similar question but I am still not sure...

I have four year old mindee about to start after nursery/school care with me - mindee attends nursery 5 days per week from 9am - 3pm - will mindee be viewed as a rising 5 ?
Mindee starts in reception in September 07...

Thanks in advance...

anyway from April 07 ofsted are changing reg in 3 sep ways
been on a course today all day
but still as yet (with 2 weeks to go) ofsted have not released any of the guidelines

Well how are we supposed to impliment the changes if no-one knows what they are?

Dmo, do you mean the change to the Ofsted Childcare Register?

think so
just one of the topics that was disscussed

got a letter from ofsted when i got home sat explaining what i had heard at the course

Early Years Issue 5 says that OCR was the main topic at the regional conferences. So what did you find out? Any chance of starting a new thread with details of what you found out at the conference?

didnt find much out as ofsted havent set the standereds yet
basically they are thinking of giving sep cert to childcarers for 0-5 yrs, 5-8 yrs and over 8's
not sure what this means for cm as we look after children in all 3 categories

maybe its to make sure childcarers for over 8's are registered but at the moment as far as i can tell its volentary to add your name to ofsted if you care for children over 8

personally i am doing nothing until ofsted contact me
