require him to secure that any premises on which he so looks after any child, and the equipment used in those premises, are adequately maintained and kept safe;
require him to keep a record of the name and address of —
any child so looked after by him on any premises;
any person who assists in looking after any such child; and
any person living, or likely at any time to be living, at those premises; and
require him to notify the Department in writing of any change in the persons mentioned in paragraph (c)(ii) and (iii).
The Governor in Cabinet may by regulations make provision as to —
requirements which must be imposed by the Department under this section in prescribed circumstances; and
requirements of such descriptions as may be prescribed which must not be imposed by the Department under this section.
In determining the maximum number of children to be specified under subsection (2)(a), the Department shall take account of the number of other children who may at any time be on any premises on which the person concerned acts, or is likely to act, as a child minder.
Where, in addition to the requirements mentioned in subsection (2), the Department imposes other requirements, those other requirements shall not be incompatible with any of the subsection (2) requirements.
