## Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Childcare (Supply and Disclosure of Information) (England) Regulations 2007 (S.I. 2007/722) (“the principal Regulations”).
The primary amendment made by these Regulations concerns the range of persons encompassed by the provisions of the principal Regulations. Currently, the principal Regulations relate to information that may or must be provided by Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector of Education, Children’s Services and Skills (“the Chief Inspector”) in respect of providers of childcare registered under Chapter 4 of Part 3 of the Childcare Act 2006 (“the Act”), namely, those who have registered in Part B of the general childcare register (voluntary registration).
Regulation 3 of these Regulations amends the definitions of “registered person” and “registration”, so that the principal Regulations apply to persons registered either in the early years register (under Chapter 2 of Part 3 of the Act) or in Part A or B of the general childcare register (under Chapter 3 or 4 of Part 3 of the Act).
Regulations 4 to 9 make amendments as to the prescribed information which may or must be disclosed under sections 83(1) and (2), and 84(1) and (3) of the Act. They variously add to, omit or modify the prescribed information which may or must be disclosed by the Chief Inspector. In particular, regulation 9(b) adds to Part 1 of Schedule 1 to the principal Regulations a new item of information (namely, in which register or part of the register a person is registered), and regulation 9(e) adds to Part 3 of Schedule 1 a new item of information (namely, information about the Chief Inspector’s most recent inspection, and where a copy of any report of that inspection may be obtained).
An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on business, charities or voluntary bodies is foreseen, and the impact on the public sector is minimal.
