120
This section sets out the requirement for registration for later years providers (other than childminders) providing childcare for children up to the age of 8. Such later years providers must be registered in respect of particular premises.
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.
