Where a person provides a service for children in particular premises on less than six days in any year, that provision is not day care of children for the purposes of paragraph 13 if the person has notified SCSWIS in writing, before the first occasion on which the service is so provided in that year, of the intention so to provide it.

In sub-paragraph (1), “year” means the year beginning with the day on which the service is (after the commencement of this section) first provided in the premises concerned; and thereafter any year beginning with the anniversary of that day.
