  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations prescribe, for the purposes of section 12 of the Childcare Act 2006, the information to be provided to parents and prospective parents by an English local authority in relation to the provision of childcare by persons registered under Chapter 4 (voluntary registration) of Part 3 of that Act in the authority’s area. Section 12 is in force to the extent it requires an English local authority to establish and maintain a service providing information relating to the provision of childcare in the authority’s area by persons registered under that Chapter.\nRegulation 2(1), in conjunction with the Schedule, sets out the information which must be provided to parents or prospective parents in relation to the childcare in the area of an English local authority. The Schedule includes an obligation on English local authorities to provide information as to the childcare suitable for disabled children which is provided by a registered person.\nRegulation 2(2) excludes from the information which must be provided to parents information as to the identity and address of any parents or relatives of a child unless consent has been given. That paragraph also allows a registered person to notify an English local authority that he does not wish information which would otherwise be provided about him to form part of the service maintained by the authority.\nA full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.",
