Hi i have just been offered a job in a nursery.I understand crb checks can take a few weeks to process but they have said i can start supervised once i am list 99 cleared.Does anyone know how long this is likely to take.

Thank you.

Yeah i know a long time lucky i had me CM1 form or something like that - so u can only work supervised..all the ladies i worked with thought i was a criminal as it was taking so bloody long! quite embarassing really to have mine take the longest in the 10 years the nursery had been open lol.

If you're talking about CRB's, I'm usually told 6 weeks but I've had one back in 2 weeks. Not sure why I was lucky though!!

I don't know what list 99 is, but my last one took almost 2 months (just got it back) and the one before that (last year) took two weeks.

Thank you for all your replies i just hope it doesnt take too long.I dont have to wait for my crb to start i will just be supervised until it does but the manager at the nursery said i do have to be list 99 cleared.I have never heard of it either.

List99 is done as part of the CRB check. Though perhaps schools can do it separately, not sure. A standalone nursery couldn't though to my knowledge.

List99 check is now done via the ISA

Parenta offers List99 clearing for nurseries for free - Parenta: List99 Check Form - though can't find details on how long it takes to come through.

Sorry, was writing that as I found info... so it looks like a nursery can get List99 check done via Parenta.
