Finally some progress on Katymac's Eco nursery

[KatyMac]

I have the paperwork to make it a co-operative
I have the paperwork for the lease
Building control have started to talk to the architect

Things are looking up

Please keep your fingers crossed

Eco nursery? It sounds fabulous! Goodluck!

That's - it's a VERY long running saga & I was starting to think it would never happen - but it's slowly coming together

Good to hear, light at the end of the tunnel and all that (eco lightbulb of course )

Or solar tube

I think y solar panels have gone by-the-by but the ground source heat pump is still on & the water treatment plant

Yay! Good to hear!

I think so too

It has taken long enough

It will take awhile KatyM but will be worth it in the long run!!

Fingers crossed for the next stage!!

Problem is I applied to OFSTED to open 29/2 - & we haven't even started building yet

I am going to have to phone & ask them to put it on hold or withdraw y application (or something)

I guess I will have to pay again - I wonder if the CRB's etc will carry foward

Oh dear i think they will cancel your application & say start agian sorry

We were told that now it's best not to put an application in until you are all but ready because they're now on a 6 week turnaround for applications & your registration visit may be ANY TIME during that 6 weeks not at the end. But ring your development officer & ask for advice.

6 weeks I was told 26 weeks

6 weeks is much easier

The last I heard (or probably most times I heard ) you seemed on the verge of giving up.

Glad to hear your dream is still alive and there appears to be a spec of light at the end of he tunnel.

It's vaguely alive - it seems to do a dying fly regularly

hi there - I'm planning to open a nursery in Dec and I was just told (today) by ofsted that it is 26 weeks.

Thanks

Hello fellow Nursery opener - how's it going?

hi there!

I stayed away yesterday afternoon because i got a telling off for 'advertising' - i didnt mean any harm, felt like my wrists had been truly slapped. oops.

Speaking to you on the other thread

LLL if you want to CAT me with any questions please do- I run a nursery & am willing to chat things over it's a big step!!

waves to Katymac

Take her up on it LLL - she's good

So glad things are finally moving forward Katymac

Thanks Littlefish - working on it still

Might actually open it one day

Hurrah for Katymac
Fingers and toes crossed for you.

Can't you cross anything else?

OK

not quite what I had in mind - or not as the case maybe
