Chapter 1 of Part 3: General Functions of the Chief Inspector
Paragraph 2 inserts a new subsection (6) into section 32 of the Childcare Act 2006 (maintenance of two childcare registers), deeming any references in section 32 to persons registered as "childminders" to mean persons registered as childminders whether with or without domestic premises. This ensures the two childcare registers maintained by His Majesty’s Chief Inspector of Education, Children’s Services and Skills ("the Chief Inspector"), the early years register and the general childcare register, must include all persons registered with the Chief Inspector as childminders with and without domestic premises.
