Services Regulations, copies of which can be purchased by calling the
Government Publications Sales Section of Information Services Department (ISD)
on 2537 1910 or placing order with ISD by e-mail at puborder@isd.gov.hk. You

The officer concerned of the Child Care Centres Advisory Inspectorate
may arrange a site visit or an interview with the applicant to study the proposal.
Upon preliminary agreement on the layout of the proposed plan, the prospective
operator should prepare 10 copies of the plan. He will then be issued with or
advised to download from the homepage of the Social Welfare Department at
www.swd.gov.hk the following application forms:
(A) Application for Certificate from the Director of Fire Services
(B) Application for Certificate from the Director of Buildings/Housing/
Architectural Services as appropriate

Form (A) and (B) should be submitted to Child Care Centres Advisory
Inspectorate upon completion, each accompanied by 4 copies of the layout plan of
the premises for onward transmission to the two departments concerned. Copies of
Form (A) and (B) together with 2 copies of the layout plan should also be
submitted to this Department for record purpose. In due course, the two
departments concerned will arrange with the applicant for the inspection of the
premises. When the fire precaution and structural requirements are complied with,
the prospective operator will receive the certificates respectively from the
departments.
7.
According to the Electricity (Wiring) Regulations, Cap 406E, any fixed
electrical installation in a child care centre has to be inspected , tested and certified
by a registered electrical worker for its completion (including repair, alteration or
addition), as well as subject to periodic inspection, testing and certification at least
once every 5 years. The prospective operator has to therefore observe the
requirement and produce a copy of the Work Completion Certificate (WR1 Form),
together with a copy each of the Certificates of Registration of Electrical Worker
and Electrical Contractor and/or a copy of Periodic Test Certificate (WR2 Form) as
duly completed by the registered electrical worker and electrical contractor, to this
Department as the document certifying the electrical safety of the proposed centre.

Mechanical Services Department Headquarters, 3 Kai Shing Street, Kowloon
(Public Enquiry Hotline no. 1823) and the homepage of the Electrical and
Mechanical Services Department at www.emsd.gov.hk.

Similarly, in the case that the proposed centre requires Towngas or
liquefied petroleum gas installation, the prospective operator has also to produce a
Certificate of Completion and/or a Certificate of Annual Inspection/Maintenance
as duly completed by a registered gas contractor, together with a copy each of the
Gas Installer Registration Card and Certificate of Registration of Gas Contractor to
ensure that the installation work is done in accordance with the Gas Safety
Ordinance Cap. 51 and relevant Codes of Practice. The Certificate of Completion

Welfare Department. Any further enquiries on gas installation can be directed to

Child Care Services Regulations R.10)

At the final stage when all necessary certificates/documents as
mentioned in Part (III) are available, the officer concerned of the Child Care
Centres Advisory Inspectorate will arrange an inspection visit with the prospective
operator to examine whether the proposed centre complies with all requirements of
the Child Care Services Ordinance and Regulations and is fully ready for
commencement of service. On-site taping of the floor area of the proposed centre
will also be done during or before the visit. The prospective operator will then be
provided with or advised to download from the homepage of the Social Welfare
Department the Application Form for Registration of Child Care Centre. An
application for registration of a child care centre is considered to have been
formally made only when the said Application Form is properly completed with all
necessary certificates/documents as mentioned in Part (III) attached, and submitted
by the prospective operator to the Child Care Centres Advisory Inspectorate.
12.
Successful registration of a child care centre depends on the prospective
operators ability to comply fully with the requirements specified in the said
Ordinance, Regulations and the Operation Manual for Pre-primary Institutions. It
usually takes four to six months to complete the whole registration process.
(V) The Certificate of Registration
13.
The Certificate of Registration issued by the Social Welfare Department
is free of charge.
(VI) Important note
14.
Please be warned that according to Section 6(1) of the Child Care
Services Ordinance, no person shall operate or take part in the management of a
child care centre which is not a registered child care centre; and Section 6(2)
stipulates that any person who contravenes Section 6(1) shall be guilty of an
offence and shall be liable on conviction to a fine at level 6 and to imprisonment
for 2 years.
15.
This procedural guide only serves to inform prospective operators of the
procedures of registration of a child care centre and is in no way a summary or
substitute for the provisions in the Child Care Services Ordinance and Regulations,
nor does this information sheet have any legal force.
