(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Childcare (Fees) Regulations 2008 (S.I. 2008/1804) ("the 2008 Regulations") to increase the fees payable by childcare providers under Part 3 of the Childcare Act 2006.
The changes relate to the fees for applying for registration in the early years register ("the EYR") under Part 3 of the Childcare Act 2006 and the annual fees payable by childcare providers registered in the EYR.
Regulation 2(5)(c) amends Regulation 10(7) of the 2008 Regulations to extend to 31st August 2011 the transitional provision for those childcare providers (other than childminders) automatically transferring on 1st September 2008 from the childcare register under Part 10A of the Children Act 1989 to one of the Childcare Act 2006 registers. The transitional provision means that for such providers the fee applicable to early years provision that is provided for more than 3 hours but less than 4 hours per day will be £50 (rather than £220 as would otherwise be the case under regulation 10(3) of the 2008 Regulations).
The changes will take effect from 1st September 2010.
