The attached
NAS Guidelines & Requirements.pdf was copied and adapted by the scammer from the Ofsted Childcare Registration here:
http://www.nanny-nanny.co.uk/ofsted-nan ... gister.htm
In reality, Ofsted Registration is available for childcarers in England only:
We register childcare providers who provide care in England. We cannot register childcare provision which operates in another country, including Wales and Scotland.
This can be confirmed in the
Guide to registration on the Childcare Register, page 12, section 19, available here:
http://www.ofsted.gov.uk/resources/guid ... e-register
The scammer's version of the Registration is fake.
NAS Register Nannies
Parents who want to use childcare vouchers against the cost of a nanny will have to employ a nanny who is
registered with the Nanny Association of Scotland (NAS) or who is willing to be registered.
Who applies for registration?
Nanny's must apply themselves and the process can take up to 4 days for approval, so it is advisable to get the nanny to apply as soon as an offer of employment has been accepted to avoid lengthy breaks in redeeming vouchers. During the registration period it may be feasible to claim backdated vouchers; however the parent would need to contact the voucher scheme company or Tax Credit office to seek additional information as this is not always the case.
The nanny must hold onto the certificate of registration as it is a condition of registration that the nanny shows parents his/her certificate on request. If it gets lost or damaged a replacement must be applied for at a cost of£55.
Is there a charge for applying?
All applicants pay a non-refundable application fee. The application fee (as at November 2010 -2012) is £250 and does include the cost of the Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) disclosure. Each year an annual fee will also be charged to remain on the register,which is set by Government. The annual fee (as at November 2010-2012) is £250.
Who pays for all of the fees associated with registration?
The nanny in the first instance is responsible as the applicant for paying the following:
· Non Refundable Application fee - £250
· Public Liability Insurance - £90
· Bill Bond Refundable fee of £100
· Nanny pays the Total fees of £440
It is the nanny's responsibility to incur cost and may then negotiate with parents on meeting part of the costs
incurred in order for parents to reimburse if necessary.
How to Pay
Western Union has 345,000 agent locations worldwide! There is bound to be one near you. You can go in person to an agent location and pay them directly. Once you are ready to submit the Western Union payments please use the following information of the NAS clerk (Mr. Kirk Wallace Aulay):

How to apply
The nanny must apply and this can be done by contacting the NAS by email:
[email protected], and request a form to complete in writing. NAS will write to the nanny to
let him/her know that they have received the application. The letter will include details on how to:
· Get identity, the first aid qualification, insurance documentation and any other information NAS require
checked.
· Pay the total fee
· Provide any further information NAS request to deem the nanny suitable to provide childcare.
How does NAS decide if the nanny is suitable?
NAS will assess the nanny's suitability by considering the information on the application form. It may be necessary in some circumstances for NAS to interview the nanny or carry out further checks. If the nanny has lived abroad in the past three years they should tell NAS of the countries they have lived in on the application form. NAS will normally require the nanny to provide some extra evidence of suitability - this may include:
· A certificate of good conduct from the embassy of the country, in which the nanny lived, accompanied where
necessary by a certified translation into English
· A reference from someone of standing in the country, in which the nanny lived, such as a doctor or lawyer
· Evidence to support any work permit
· References from past employers
NAS will contact the nanny if they need additional evidence. If the nanny is unable to supply sufficient evidence, NAS may have to refuse the nanny's registration. Please note this may delay the process.
What qualifications does the nanny have to have?
This is not altogether clear from the information provided by NAS. It is therefore best for the nanny to email NAS and verify with them that her qualifications or experience are enough. If not, then the nanny will need to undergo training.
Can the nanny be refused registration?
Yes, the nanny can be refused if he/she has already been disqualified, is unsuitable, fails to pay the fee or does not agree to the requirements of the register or lives with someone who is disqualified. This is why it is essential that the nanny completes the form carefully and accurately so that a decision can be made on the information given and subsequent checks that are carried out.
What will happen if the nanny is refused registration?
If NAS refuse an application they will first write to the nanny and let him/her know of their intention. The nanny does have a right to object to the refusal and details of how to do this are documented in the letter sent.
If the nanny is refused registration parents will not be able to redeem part of the nanny's salary against any
employer-assisted voucher scheme or working tax credits.
Can the nanny withdraw from the registration process?
A nanny can withdraw their application at any time during the registration process up to the granting or refusing of registration but the application fee is not refundable. The nanny must inform NAS in writing if he/she decides to stop the registration process. If the nanny does not tell NAS that he/she wants to withdraw their application then NAS will continue the process and may have to refuse the nanny's application for registration. Refusal of registration is a serious step which disqualifies the nanny from providing childcare in the future.
What happens after registration?
Once the nanny has been granted registration a certificate is issued. This is proof that the nanny is registered on the voluntary part of the Childcare Register and must show the certificate to parents on request. As mentioned if the nanny loses the certificate they must apply for a replacement.
Sometimes NAS restrict the registration in some way, for example because parts of the home are not suitable for looking after children. These restrictions are known as 'conditions of registration' and are shown on your registration certificate. NAS can add new conditions, change existing ones or remove conditions at any time during the nanny's registration. If the nanny does not agree with any conditions he/she hasthe same rights of objection and appeal.
Once the nanny is registered he/she must continue to meet the requirements relating to people, premises and provision. NAS will send a list of these requirements with the registration certificate.
Will the nanny get inspected?
Once registered, NAS may inspect the nanny at any time and will always inspect if a complaint is received about the childcare provision that relates to the requirementsof registration or any conditions that may have been imposed on the registration. NAS will always seek permission from parents to enter the premises.
Following any inspection the nanny will either receive a letter confirming that he/she is meeting the requirements for registration or a letter detailing what must be done in order to remain registered.
What should the nanny do if they no longer wish to be included on the register?
If the nanny no longer wishes to be a registered provider, they need to resign their registration. The nanny must put their resignation in writing and NAS will confirm receipt of the resignation letter. Resigning registration does not affect any future application to provide childcare. Please note there is no refund payable except the refundable Bill Bond fee of £100.
The nanny may not resign if he/she has been served with a 'notice of decision' to cancel his/her resignation or
Where can the nanny gain a qualification and first aid training?
Where can the nanny gain insurance?
Nannies can choose between two policies:
· £3,000,000 limit of indemnity for an annual fee of £90
· £5,000,000 limit of indemnity for an annual fee of £130
Both policies offer the same great benefitsand ensure that both the nanny and children are protected. Please contact NAS on Email: nannyassociationscotland.live.com
