Childcare Business

A guide to setting up a nursery or daycare provision in Haringey

The guide, in the attached files section below, gives you advice about setting up a nursery or daycare provision in Haringey. It is designed to guide you through the process and signpost you to officers who can help and support you.

Types of childcare businesses

There are six main categories of a childcare business.

Full day care - Day care for children under eight for a continuous period of four hours or more in any day on non-domestic premises. For example, a nursery.

Sessional day care - Day care for children under eight for a session which is less than a continuous period of four hours in any day on non-domestic premises. For example, a part time play group or part time nursery.

Crèche - Occasional care for children under eight provided on particular non-domestic premises on more than five days a year. For example, childcare for parents attending a training course.

Out of school - Day care for children under eight that operate on non-domestic premises during one or more of the following: before school, after school, during school holidays. For example, extended schools, breakfast clubs, and after school clubs.

Childminding - Day care for children under eight on domestic premises for more than two hours per day.

Independent Schools - Schools that are independent of local authority or government control. An independent school may offer nursery education to children aged 3 and 4 and may claim nursery education funding for these children from the local authority.
