I wondered about that too. I've spoken to a couple of different companies who both said I need an employer to recieve the check, failing that if I worked in a school the check could be sent there, or to my accountant. I don't work in a school and I don't have an accountant!
I guess it must be different for Childminders as they need the CRB check by law, and I think there is some kind of governing body that would recieve the check for the childminder to get registered?
Thinking back, (it was about 18 years ago!) I think maybe the CRB went to the council I was registered with.0 -
there are some charming reviews on qype, but they seem to have been deleted.
however, thanks to the power of google cache, we can still enjoy them.
environmental health officer was physically astonished at the food and the trading standards officer told us he could not believe his eyes
and this one:
What a terrible service! ..... Conveniently, Katie ignored the numerous calls I made to her during the party
in the interests of fairness, i can also find one positive review on qype in the google cache, posted by a user called ping81.
it's here.
strangely, little divaz UK have a go2album account - their username is ping81.
http://www.go2album.com/pg/profile/ping81
of course, this is probably just a coincidence.
on her bebo profile (coincidentally, her username there is ping16) katie describes her ambition as "to be a millionaire by the time i'm 30" and her first thought waking up as: "another day another dollar! fuk sake!"
they seem to have an unfortunate history of car accidents too:

They are shocking reviews, and the speelinng oon dat websight is atrohshus!! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
How old is this 'Katie'?? I wouldn't trust her to run a pishup in a brewery, let alone a childs party!
My daughter had a pamper party a few years ago ~ it was on site, when they had a disco room, a dressing up room, a games room, and then the pamper room where they got their hair and nails done while sipping cocktails (non alcoholic of course!).
I don't quite see the point in having someone come in and entertain kids in your own home ~ go to somewhere on site where the kids can leave the mess there lol!Tank fly boss walk jam nitty gritty...0 -
She emailed me a while ago too to try and buy my domain name (and was really pushy when I told her it wasn't for sale!) and that was from ping810

Fantastic research Mr T. This review of Little Divaz food made me feel a little ill:
"1 plate home made squashed tuna sandwiches which we were told had been made the day before , 8 very smal squares of cold hard pizza , a chocolate fountain machine caked in old chocolate from the last time it was used, a bag of peanuts ( yes peanuts at a 4 years old party ) and 4 bags of crisps , semi frozen gateaux , all food quite warm and stale , THERE WAS BLACK HAIR IN THE SANDWICHES ..not quite the Princess party we were told about.."
You can leave reviews about companies at Blagger.com as well.

She's 21, and she uses this as her most frequent excuse for why her business is not going well. She sent me an email stating:
" I am a 21 year old entreprneur trying to buld up a successful business and feel that a lot of people have taken the !!!! out of me within business because i am so young. "
I set my business up when I was 23, never used it as an excuse! I was running a busy restaurant when I was 20, my age was never an issue!! If you can't handle the heat get out of the kitchen!!0 -
i wonder if they're watching this thread, because the link i posted earlier to their "headlines" page, now returns a "page not found" error.
cached version of the page is here:

Wow is all I can say you MSE bunch are like an online detective agency, I have been trying to find out as much as I can about Little Divaz and Katie Brown, in case I don't get the refund and have to take it further but you have found so much, all the websites listed to her and the deleted reviews.
I do hope this is the wake up call to her and she realises that you can not mess about with kids parties as when children get upset its like red rag to a bull too parents.
Thank you again to everyone for all the help.0 -
