...urged to maintain and improve quality of service

With its passage in the National Assembly and subsequent enactment a few months ago, the Childcare and Development Services Act is one that will seek to ensure that all Childcare Centres operate and meet, at least,the minimum service standards for children in their care.

The Ministry of Social Protection today (Thursday, December 29, 2016) took the historic step and licensed 13 Early Childhood Care Centres from around the country.

In order to obtain this licence the facilities had to meet the minimum standards outlined in the Childcare and Development Services Act 2011 and Childcare and Development Regulations of 2016 including valid police clearances for all staff, food handlers certificates for all employees who have direct contact with the children’s food or snack, an evacuation plan in cases of emergency and other structural and physical requirements.
