Welcome to the land of home daycare providers.

You don't need to get a business number

We are not allowed to charge our clients any tax so we don't need a GST number

It is recommended that you get $2 million liability coverage

It is recommended that you get a daycare ryder (insurance). You don't need commercial insurance. The ryder will cost between $150-$300 per year. If you are planning on using your car to transport your daycare kids you will need insurance for that as well.

A police check is always good to have. I am finding that parents want to see them for all adults in the house now a days. (but that could be just in my area)
