## Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Local Authority (Duty to Secure Early Years Provision Free of Charge) Regulations 2014 (S.I. 2014/2147) which make provision in respect of the duty imposed by section 7 of the Childcare Act 2006 on a local authority in England to provide childcare, free of charge, to each young child in its area.
Regulation 2 of these Regulations amends certain provisions in the Local Authority (Duty to Secure Early Years Provision Free of Charge) Regulations 2014 which relate to early years childminder agencies. These amendments are necessary to reflect changes to the system for grading the quality of such agencies, as a result of which they will be assessed as either “effective” or “not effective”.
