- 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.
