expiry date on Ofsted registration?

[chandellina]

Hi, sorry it's a stupid question but I can't find an answer anywhere. I am trying to register my nanny for vouchers (she already gets them from my husband's employer) and the company wants the expiration date of her Ofsted registration. I have a copy of the certificate and there is no expiry date.
We gave her money earlier this year to pay for the renewal but she seems to only have last year's certificate, which doesn't state an expiry date in any case. thanks for any insight.

There is no expiration date on the certificate. As it is renewable annually, the expiry date is 1 year from the date on the certificate.

However, my certificate is dated 2007... certificates are not reissued every year. So you need to take the date as it appears on the certificate and change the year.

So if it's 01/02/2008 then next expiry would be 01/02/2011

If it's 20/09/2008 then next expiry would be 20/09/2010 as we have not yet got to 20-Sept.

Your nanny should also request a Payment Receipt from Ofsted for when the last payment was made. This can be done by contacting Ofsted via phone, or e-mail (e-mail needs a signature image).

Copy of the Receipt and the Certificate should be send to the voucher company.

Isn't there a registration date on teh certificate? That's the expiry date (ie the anniversary). at least that's the voucher company that I deal with wanted to have, when asked to clarify what "expiry date" meant.

there is a registration date (in 2009). so i am just going to put that date forward to 2011, when i know it will need renewing again.
thanks!
my husband's voucher company didn't need a copy of the actual certificate, not sure why this other company is making us jump through hoops. (nanny isn't online/computer savvy so i'm registering her).
