Children 'put at risk' after nurseries are allowed to operate without inspections

I cetainly hope that this doesn't apply to Wales from The Observer

Nurseries will be able to operate for up to 10 years without being inspected under government plans to cut red tape and reduce costs.

The Department for Education is ready to waive the requirement for creches or other establishments looking after children of up to six or seven to be inspected before being put on the national Childcare Register. Checks by Ofsted are also to be cut back. Experts said that nurseries would be able to register by simply filling out a form.
