Paragraph 12 Suitability of premises and equipment
The premises and equipment used for the purposes of the childcare concerned are suitable for the provision of that childcare and in particular—
in the case of a registered person who is not a home child-carer, the premises are safe for the provision of that childcare;
a child is not able to leave the premises without a person who is caring for children on the premises becoming aware of the child leaving except where—
the childcare is open access childcare, or
the registered person has agreed with the parent of the child, where he is not a young childf1, that the requirement in this sub-paragraph shall not apply; and
no person is able to enter the premises without a person who is caring for children on the premises being aware of the entry of that person.
In this paragraph “open access childcare” means childcare, other than childminding, under the arrangements for which a child, other than a young child, may leave the premises unaccompanied.
