Advice on opening an additional setting

[Guest]

Im manager of a committee run setting and we are just in the very early stages of looking at setting up another provision in another school. Where do we start? How does it work with managers etc do you need a manager for each provision (they are around the corner from each other) or can you have a deputy at each and a manager moving between the two? Do you need to get the go ahead from ofsted? etc etc etc...........any advise ??

I used to run two, but closed one to expand one. Two registrations and two managers, meaning one in charge of the day-to-day is needed. Perhaps you could be the 'provider', which I was.
