Anyone got any advice for a friend of mine?
She has just had her Ofsted inspection for childminding. The inspector told her that because she has got an NVQ3 in Early Years care and Education, she couldn't see why she would have to take the 6 week ICP course ran by the council. After all - an NVQ3 is a 2 year, in depth, vocational qualification that includes being observed looking after children.
However, a lady from the Early Years team at the local council has insisted she has to do the 6 week ICP course.
I have done both courses! (But I did the ICP BEFORE I did my NVQ3!) and NO DISRESPECT, but you come out knowing a heck of a lot more after the two year course than you do after the 6 weeks one!
ANYONE KNOW THE OFFICIAL ANSWER?
