Approved Carer/Registered Carer

[Ginger]

i'm so confused! they told me i didn't have to be working or studying?

for reghistered care you have to be working or studying. for approved care, you get up to 24 hours per week with no restrictions

ok.......sorry for all the confusion. i rang the pre-school again, seems they gave me the wrong information and they are actually an APPROVED carer not a REGISTERED carer, so i rang clink and it looks like i'll be getting back 50%. phew....all sorted!

glad it's all cleared up (and in your favour!)

thanks BG
all the confusion stemmed from the receptionist giving me mis-information. today i got a different lady who knew what she was talking about and even gave me the provider number. i feel so much better now, was beginning to think it was too expensive and i'd have to find somewhere else. i love this place so i'm thrilled
