Explanatory note

Reproduced verbatim from the instrument as published on legislation.gov.uk (Crown Copyright, Open Government Licence v3.0). The note is prepared by the responsible government department and is not part of the instrument itself.

This Order sets out exceptions to what constitutes “child minding” or “day care for children” for the purposes of Part 2 of the Children and Families (Wales) Measure 2010 (“the 2010 Measure”).

Section 21 and 23 of the 2010 Measure require, respectively, a child minder and a person who provides day care for children to register with the Welsh Ministers. Section 19(2) and (3) define “child minding” and “day care for children”. Section 19(4) and (5) confer power on the Welsh Ministers to specify circumstances in which a person whose activity would otherwise fall within one of the definitions is excepted from it and who is not therefore required to register.
