The Welsh Government want your views on the proposed changes to the rules about child minding and day care registration and the development of a Voluntary Approval Scheme and are consulting on:

  • the changes proposed to circumstances where providers are not required to register as a child minder or day care provider
  • the proposed development of a Voluntary Approval Scheme for Childcare, Playwork and Activity Providers who are exempt from registration
  • the impact these changes could have on a range of factors including the Welsh Language
