Commentary on Sections and Schedules Part 3 – Regulation of Provision of Childcare in England Chapter 4 – Voluntary registration Section 63: Applications for registration on the general register: other childcare providers
133.This section makes provision for the voluntary registration of childcare providers (other than childminders) who are not required to be registered. Such providers are able to make an application to be registered in Part B of the general childcare register. This does not apply to provision made by schools for children who are 3 or over, where at least one child is a registered pupil at the school. The provision made by section 63 is similar to the provision made by section 62 for childminders but applications must be made in respect of particular premises.
