Nursery staff in England who have had police checks within the past three years do not need to apply to Ofsted for a Disclosure check by the Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) when starting a new job at another day nursery, according to guidance published by Ofsted last week. Ofsted, whose Early Years Directorate oversees all registered childcare in England, has produced the guidance, Building better childcare: Criminal Records Bureau - What you need to know, following anger in the early years sector over long delays in the processing of Disclosure applications by the Bureau and confusion about the procedure for filling in the forms.
