Regulation 5 Keeping of records
Subject to paragraph (2), a registered person shall—
keep at the premises all the records specified in Schedule 3 to these Regulations;
preserve every entry in the records specified in paragraphs 5, 6 and 7 of that Schedule for a period of two years from the date on which the entry was made; and
provide the Chief Inspector with copies of such of those records as he may from time to time request.
A registered person who provides day care by means of an open access scheme is not required to keep the records specified in paragraphs 1, 2 and 5 of that Schedule.
An “open access scheme” is a scheme for the provision of day care which does not require—
children to be accompanied by a parent or other responsible person while on the premises at which the day care is provided; or
children to be escorted by a parent or other responsible person to and from those premises.
