(b)

after paragraph (7), insert—

“(7A)

“Prescribed childcare charges” do not include childcare charges in respect of childcare provided by a nanny.

Paragraph (7A) does not apply where the Secretary of State has determined that, owing to exceptional circumstances, it would be appropriate for A to incur childcare charges in respect of childcare provided by a nanny.

(7C)

In paragraphs (7A) and (7B), “nanny” means a person who cares for a child in any of the circumstances specified in article 3 of the Childcare (Exemptions from Registration) Order 2008^f1 (and is consequently not required to be registered in either of the childcare registers established by section 32 of the Childcare Act 2006^f2).”.
