Childcare: Registration
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, if she will make it her Department's policy to create a single childcare register to replace the current registration processes.
Answered by Olivia Bailey
It is the department’s ambition that all families have access to high quality, affordable and flexible early education and care, giving every child the best start in life and delivering on our Plan for Change.
There are currently two registers, the early years register and the general childcare register. We are in regular dialogue with Ofsted about the registers and, as with all our systems, we continue to monitor their operational effectiveness. There are no current plans to alter the structure of the registers.
