These Regulations amend the Food Premises (Registration) Regulations 1991 ("the principal Regulations") to except certain domestic premises used for child minding from the requirement in the principal Regulations to register food premises with the registration authority.

Regulation 2(2) inserts definitions of "child minder" and "relevant child minder" in the principal Regulations.

Regulation 2(3) adds another exception from the requirement to register to those in regulation 3(4)(b) of the principal Regulations. The exception is domestic premises, used for the purposes of a food business, on which the proprietor of the business resides and on which the only commercial food operations are the sale of food ancillary to the proprietor's activities as a relevant child minder.

Regulation 2(4) adds paragraph (5) to regulation 7 of the principal Regulations (supply of information and alterations to register). Regulation 7(5) requires the registration authority to make to the register and supplementary record, in respect of changes coming to its attention, alterations necessitated by virtue of the coming into force of these Regulations. The requirements of regulation 7(4) as to the giving of notice by the registration authority, and its consideration of representations, do not apply in respect of these alterations.
