Miranda Walker explains who needs to register and gives a step-by-step guide to how to do it
the term 'registered daycare provider' describes a setting that has successfully applied to register with Ofsted, undergone the registration process and been awarded an Ofsted registration certificate. Ofsted recognises four categories of care; the one for out-of-school clubs is 'out of school care'.
Registration is to protect children.
