The Childcare (General Childcare Register) Regulations 2008
These Regulations make provision relating to the registration of childminders and other providers of childcare in the general childcare register (“the register”) under Chapters 3 and 4 of Part 3 of the Childcare Act 2006 (“the Act”). The register is in two parts; Part A is for the compulsory registration of providers of certain childcare for children from the 1st September following their fifth birthday up to the age of 8, and Part B is for the voluntary registration of providers who are not required to be registered in the early years register (under Chapter 2 of Part 3 of the Act) or in Part A of the register.
