Legal guide for children's nursery

A Compliance Guide for the Childcare sector, an e-book from Cobweb Information Ltd., provides an essential introduction to legal and regulatory issues for children's day nursery and other children related businesses.

This factsheet provides an overview of the legislation and National Standards that apply to childcare businesses, including childminders, crèches, nurseries, playgroups and out-of-school clubs. It explains the remit of the Children Act 1989, the overarching piece of legislation in this area, and looks at some of the many associated regulations and other pieces of law relevant to childcare businesses. It also examines mandatory training requirements and provides practical advice about complying with local authority regulations.

The UK childcare sector is highly regulated, both by legislation and by National Standards. The level of regulation and focus on the sector has been strengthened by the Government's National Childcare Strategy, Sure Start and the Childcare Act 2006. The regulations include tighter inspection and control to ensure the safety of children and the qualifications of carers.
