Dear Sir,
The Maternity Benefit Act has come into effect from April 2017. It has increased the leave the mother can take from 12 weeks to 26 weeks. This shows the government is keen to bring about changes in the current laws to suit the needs of prenatal children and mothers. A similar enactment is expected for children in the age group 1 – 10 years. These are the children who are typically sent to crèches by working parents for appropriate care. The government has laid down broad rules and regulations for running a crèche in India, considering the popularity of such crèches coming up across the country to cater to the demand.
Moreover, the government is also clear about the need for establishments that employ 50 or more personnel that they should have crèche facilities as well. The rules and regulations for the establishment of such crèches too have been laid out and only await notification. Till that time, companies can delay the opening of a crèche.
Same rules may be followed if you are proposing to open private center.
