Where a person has applied for registration as a child minder under section 79E (applications for registration) of the 1989 Act and, immediately before the transfer date, the Chief Inspector has not granted or refused the person’s application, the application shall be determined as if it had been made under section 35 and, as the case may be, section 54 of the 2006 Act.

Where a person has applied for registration as a day care provider under section 79E of the 1989 Act and, immediately before the transfer date, the Chief Inspector has not granted or refused the person’s application, the application shall be determined as if it had been made under section 36 and, as the case may be, section 55 of the 2006 Act.

Where this paragraph applies, the Chief Inspector may only register the person if, had the application been made under the 2006 Act, the Chief Inspector would have been required by section 37 and, as the case may be, section 56 of that Act, to grant the application.
