Article 3(1) is about applications for registration under the 1989 Act in respect of small children’s homes that have been made before 28th February 2001. If the application is duly made by that date article 3(2) provides that the home in question is not to be treated as an unregistered children’s home. Article 3 made transitional provisions in connection with the commencement of section 40 of the 2000 Act (temporary extension of meaning of “children’s home”), which amended the 1989 Act so that children’s homes that accommodated three or fewer children and were not voluntary or community homes were required to be registered for the first time.
