Abstract
Quality childcare services are essential in ensuring that children are well cared
for not only in terms of their health and safety, but also their mental and
intellectual development. Childcare services should not be thought of as should
not be considered as mere care services but rather it is the key foundation for
young children's education. According to practice in Malaysia, home childcare
centres that care for less than four children do not need to register with the
authorities and are not monitored by any laws or regulations. The issue of home
childminders who are not regulated by specific laws is crucial to be highlighted
in an effort to improve the quality of childcare services in Malaysia through
legislative efforts. Hence, the purpose of this research is to examine the legal
requirements for regulating home child care centres. Highlights of incidents
and cases involving home day care are analysed to see the extent to which
children's safety is exposed to the risk of danger as a result of the absence of
specific laws to supervise home childminders. This study was conducted using
the method of doctrinal research in the form of data collection based on
document analysis and case reviews. The findings of this study indicate that
there is a need to draft a specific law to regulate home childminders to protect
the welfare and safety of children.
