What is a 'Registered or Approved Childcare Provider'?

I am a student nurse and have seen a company called 'Sitters' - sorry I can't do a link(!) but in order to have some of the money refunded it has to be registered etc. Registered or approved by whom?

Ofsted.
Are you thinking of using them to 'sit' your children, or offering to be a 'sitter' for other people's children?
If the former, then it means that if you are claiming tax credits for your childcare, you have to use an 'approved' carer, ie one registered by Ofsted rather than granny or aunty flo or the neighbour's daughter.
If the latter, you'll have to be registered with Ofsted, which can be a long drawn out process ...Signature removed for peace of mind0
