MN1-profesional referee for my 1 and half year old daughter

[navs]

Hi,

My daughter was born in UK in December 2008 and we got our ILR in Aug 09. As a family we are now eligible for citizenship in Aug, so we are shortly applying for naturalisation.
When filling up the MN1 form for my daughter the referee section says

Code: Select all

Each referee should know the child personally. One referee should be a professional who 
has engaged with the child in a professional capacity, such as a doctor, teacher, health visitor, 
social worker or minister of religion. The other referee must be the holder of a British citizen passport and either a 
professional person or over the age of 25. 

I have contacted my GP to sign as a referee and found that he will charge a fee for the referral.
My daughter goes to the nursery, would the nursery manager be ok as the referee who has engaged with the child in professional capacity ? I think she (nursery manager) knows my daughter at a professional level more than anyone else.

Thanks & Regards,
Nav

I think nursery manager should be acceptable if she is holding a professional qualification as well because I GUESS its not only to know a child at a professional level but the referee should be a "Profesional" also.

But wait there may be some more light on this as I may be wrong.

Hi,

I am in the same boat as Nav, can someone clarify this please. can the nursery manager sign? in other post some one specified that, the home office has comeback on email saying if the child is under 10 years and if you can't get referees you can leave the section. so, we need confirmation please.

my child is 2 years old and british born.

thank you.
