Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this article is to discuss the amendments to the provisions of the Act of 4 February 2011 on the Care of Children Aged Up to 3 Years, introduced in 2023. These changes focused on two main directions. First, the legislator established a foundation for creating standards and requirements for improving the qualifications and updating the knowledge of childcare providers. The standards discussed in this article consist of thematic blocks, providing a detailed framework for the quality of care and education. As stated in the Ministry’s explanations, these blocks form a care plan that ensures the services provided by crèches, children’s clubs, and day carers are systematised and aligned with the regulations in force in the European Union. However, it should be noted that Article 6d of the Act introduces the optional application of these standards by care units. The second amendment clarifies provisions related to the financing of care, mainly in connection with the Family Capital Act of 17 November 2021.
