Section 85: Inspection of providers of childcare to young children
387.This section amends section 49 of the CA 2006, which relates to the inspection of early years childcare provision. It enables the Chief Inspector to charge a fee for an inspection that is carried out at the request of the provider, where that inspection is also required by the Secretary of State. Equivalent provision enabling the Chief Inspector to charge a fee for the re-inspection of childminder agencies is made by paragraphs 13 and 26 of Schedule 4, which introduce new sections 51D(3) and 61E(3) respectively.
