Well, that wasn't so bad :)

Care Commission Officer was here for 2 hours just over, was very nice, I didn't feel at all uncomfortable

Gone through all the papaerwork I have done, and paperwork they expect you to do after reg, policies and statements and what have you.

Went through how would I deal with this etc, training, some publications I should get hold of, a look round the premises, and bingo, all done and dusted

It shall take another couple weeks for the cert to come through, have to apply for my insurance tomorrow, and sent confirmation to them asap, then they'll put it all through for me, so I will be able to work after that

Being registered for 4 children in total, 3 have to be preschool, and of course the only 1 under one year

Well done Lou

I am really pleased it all went well.

Bet you are relieved that it is all over now - time to sit down with a glass of wine and chill out

Well done Lou, I am pleased it went well for you. Mine was a couple of weeks ago and wasn't too bad either.

Good luck in finding some mindees

Thanks all

Hmm I didn't think to ask when I could start advertising, should I wait till I have my certificate through? Think I will need to give her a call about this...

Congratulations Lou

Well done

I can not see advertising being a problem - you are not going to be working and you need to get things moving

Good luck

ANOTHER LOU!!!!

that will get confusing when you are a full member!!!

but seriously well done!!

all the best for your minding!!!

[loum]

Thank you! ;D

So you don't think they would see it as a bit cheeky then? Will dash off an email just to check, but yes I want to be working in January, and if I leave it too late, anyone looking for Jan will have got it sorted

I would very much suggest you start advertising.... some people do book up in advance and lots of minders have waiting lists.... wouldn't it be lovely to start with a child or 2 already on board!!
