OFSTED REGISTRATION

The new Ofsted Childcare Register (OCR), introduced in April 2007, has now replaced the Childcare Approval Scheme (CAS). If the Client would like to be able to take advantage of the childcare element of working tax credits or use the childcare vouchers, they will need their nanny to become Ofsted Registered.

The process can take up to 12 weeks and costs approximately £103. Your nanny will need to provide an up to date CRB Check and a First Aid Certificate. You can either apply on-line and full details can be obtained at www.ofsted.gov.uk or by phoning 08456 404040 for further details.

 

£50 voucher (John Lewis, Marks and Spencers) to all candidates and families who recommend Sweet Dreams Nanny Agency services leading to permanent placements. Alternatively, we would offer a £50 voucher for the Beauty salon of your choice.

RECOMMENDATIONS FROM NANNIES

 Lindsey Hayes (Oct 2011)

" 3 days after my initial meeting with Sue, I recieved a message to tell me about a job she thought was perfect for me. I applied and went to be interviewed. I have now been in the position for 2 months and am so very happy. Sue has found me a lovely family and supported me through the entire process, down to sharing my anxieties when waiting on the decision as to whether the job was mine. She was also a fantastic help when dealing with my new contract. I am not able to praise Sue enough for how she has helped and supported me through everything. I would recommend her to any Nanny looking for a job."
