Trying to find out the information and can't find it. Does anyone know the registration requirements and process for voluntary register?

Thanks

Page 29 of the document (27 on your pdf reader) states the requirements under the compulsory childcare and voluntary registers.



The Childcare Register
The Childcare Register has two parts: a compulsory part and a voluntary part.

Registration on the Childcare Register relies on the applicant making a declaration to confirm that they will meet the requirements of registration. Ofsted carries out a Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) check on the applicant but does not normally carry out any other checks.

We do not usually interview applicants for the Childcare Register to assess their suitability, as we do for the Early Years Register. If the applicant has lived abroad in the last five years we may require a Certificate of Good Conduct from the relevant country before we grant registration.



Compulsory part
A childcare provider must register on the compulsory part of the Childcare Register if they care for children from the 1 September following their fifth birthday up to the age of eight, unless they are not required to register. This is usually six- and seven-year-olds, but could include some five-year-olds.


Voluntary part
Some childcare providers can choose to register with us if they want to provide care that does not need to register with us. This includes:

home-based care in the home of the child (nannies)
activity-based settings such as sports coaching or tuition
short-term care such as crèches
care that is only for children aged eight to their 18th birthday.

If in doubt call your local FIS on 0800 2346 346 for information and advice
