# The Childcare (Fees) (Amendment) Regulations 2017

S.I. 2017/768 · made 18 July 2017

These Regulations are made under the Childcare Act 2006 (c.21) (“the 2006 Act”). These Regulations amend regulation 10(7) of the Childcare (Fees) Regulations 2008 (S.I. 2008/1804). The effect of the amendment is to extend an existing transitional provision, which applies to childcare providers (other than childminders) who transferred automatically from the childcare register under Part 10A of the Children Act 1989 (c.41) to the early years register under the 2006 Act on 1st September 2008. The transitional provision means that the threshold between the annual fee rates set out in regulation 10(2) and (3) is based on a period of 4 hours (rather than 3 hours). This amendment has the effect of extending the transitional provision until 31st August 2019, enabling early years providers who were registered prior to 2008 to benefit from a fees rate of £50 where they are operating for a period of less than 4 hours per day.
