Guest Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Not sure if this is yesterdays news, but i havn't been active for a few months due to being extremely busy over the xmas period. We now have our new registration with various changes.. which is part im unsure most of you will already know about, and i have had my head in the sand recently... The changes to our Ofsted registration now says: Childcare on non-domestic premises and links us to this information http://www.ofsted.gov.uk/resources/factsheet-childcare-requirements-for-childcare-register-childcare-providers-non-domestic-or-domestic It no longer has certain information ie. The maximum number of children for our setting, and many other regulations we are used to? This all came about because we wanted to expand our numbers by 2 spaces.. where we was told that basically it is now up to us to access! So please let me know whats going on!!!

Helen Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Yes, you're right, the registration process and certificates have changed and registered numbers of children are not recorded anymore. It's up to settings to work out the area and permitted numbers of children according to the statutory guidance. :1b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 So they are leaving a lot more decisions to the nursery owners / managers. Is this because they think we are capable of doing these things without as much monitoring, or the possibility that they don't want to take the blame if anything does go wrong!

enuffsenuf Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 The new revised EYFS gives the space for each age range. I have measured very simply our hall. toilet areas etc etc and then worked out how many children the space/toilet basin requirements allow us to have. As a group we have decided to stick to the current 26 max however in the event of an emergency we could go over this figure now. We have checked our insurance docs. and I have written down this info in my folder ready for inspection should any questions be asked.

Guest Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I think it is a positive move and gives us a say, it has allowed me to ta twins who have EAL another morning because they need it and so does mum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
