Chapter 3: Regulation of Later Years Provision for children under 8
Section 53: Requirement to register: other later years providers for children under eight

121.Subsection (2) specifically exempts from this requirement later years provision made at a maintained school, non-maintained special school or independent school where that provision is made by the school and one or more pupils attends it. Subsection (3) makes provision for the Secretary of State to exempt providers by order from the requirement to be registered. It is an offence to provide non-exempted later years provision without registration.
