At one time, I planned to become registered when we move, but after the horror stories I've seen here, I think I'll just stay listed.
I kwym. It just seems so daunting honestly. And the time and effort for me isn't worth it at this time because I only want 3 children. I have a 2 year old so a 4:1 ratio works well for me, especially since most of the calls I've been getting are for children under 18mnths. If I decide to take on more than 3, then I'll go through the trouble. But for now, I'm happy as it is
