Childminding and Day Care for Children Under Age 12

Minimum Standards

The Minimum Standards for Day Care and Childminding for Children Under Age 12 have been developed to provide assurance of a consistent level of quality in these services, and also to ensure a consistent regional approach to registration and inspection. Health and Social Care (HSC) Trusts are responsible for registering and inspecting these services against the requirements laid down in the Children (Northern Ireland) Order 1995. The standards have been developed in this context, and aim to clarify the requirements contained in the legislation. This will ensure a regional approach to registration and inspection which will in turn mean that children and their parents who use these services, along with service providers, can have confidence that all services will be measured against the same benchmark.
