Ofsted documents update

Ofsted publishes a document called "Paying fees for application and continued registration on the Early Years Register and Childcare Register". This document was updated in August 2011 and has information about the fees that:

  • a prospective provider pays when applying for registration on the Early Years Register and/or the Childcare Register
  • a provider pays to continue to be registered on the Early Years Register and/or the Childcare Register.

 

Information in the document covers:

  • application fees
  • annual fees
  • the replacement certificate fee
  • paying for checks from the Criminal Records Bureau.

 

In November 2010 Ofsted launched an online payment system for applicants and registered providers to pay their application and annual fees online using a debit or credit card.

 

Ofsted produces many documents, forms and factsheets useful for childminders. Find Ofsted childminding documents here.
