Explore Play Wales
The Welsh Government is reviewing the Child Minding and Day Care Exceptions Order. The order currently excludes certain childcare, play and activity providers in Wales, from needing to become registered with Care Inspectorate Wales (CIW) as a child minder or day care provider.
As part of the review, the Welsh Government is carrying out a survey of those who are not registered with CIW – and who offer childcare, play and activities for children aged 0-12 in Wales where the parent or main carer is not present – to provide their views about:
- what kind of services and opportunities they offer to children and families in Wales,
- how these settings operate and why they operate in this way,
- what policies, procedures and possibly oversight is in place, and,
- how these settings feel about registration with CIW.
This survey will take approximately 15 minutes to complete.
The closing date to respond to the survey is 8 November 2024.
