What do we need to do next?

A step-by-step guide to registration:

  1. First nanny needs to ensure that she meets the criteria for registrationEnsure that the first aid certficate is up-to-date and that public liability insurance is in place before starting registration procedures.
  2. The registration process is done entirely online. There is no need for nanny to take any time off for an interview and there isn't even any need for a wet signature. To register simply go to the Ofsted website.
  3. The CRB check is done as part of the Post Office Verify system. Nanny needs to bring proof of her ID along with the £8 admin fee when she goes to have it done. Please note that even if nanny already has a CRB check another one will need to be done as part of the registration process.
  4. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact Sally Thatcher at the Ofsted Childcare Approval scheme development team on 0207 273 1180.
