First Child Passport Bootle

Hello everyone, Just wondering if anyone is in the process of applying for a first child passport, and if so how long it's taken? The current timeline is: Documents received 10:47am on 4 May 2022 Use paper form to confirm identity 7:15pm on 12 April 2022 Email sent to person confirming your identity 6:49pm on 12 April 2022 Ask someone to confirm your identity 1:18pm on 9 April 2022 Application submitted 1:18pm on 9 April 2022 Also the paspsort is going through the 'manual route', and currently wondering if I should risk booking any holidays for summer currently or hold it out and hope! Thanks.
