the care provided by that person when looking after any child as a child minder is, in the opinion of the Department, seriously inadequate having regard to the needs of that child; or
that person has —
contravened, or failed to comply with, any requirement imposed on him under section 73; or
failed to pay any annual fee under paragraph 6 of Schedule 9 within the prescribed time.
The Education Department may at any time cancel the registration of any person under section 72(1)(b) with respect to particular premises where —

The Education Department may at any time cancel all registrations of any person under section 72(1)(b) if it appears to it that the circumstances of the case are such that it would be justified in refusing to register that person with respect to any premises.
Where a requirement to carry out repairs or make alterations or additions has been imposed on a registered person under section 73 or 74, his registration shall not be cancelled on the ground that the premises are not fit to be used for looking after children if —
the time set for complying with the requirements has not expired; and
it is shown that the condition of the premises is due to the repairs not having been carried out or the alterations or additions not having been made.
Any cancellation under this section must be in writing.
In considering the needs of any child for the purposes of subsection (1)(b) or (2)(b), the Education Department shall, in particular, have regard to the child's religious persuasion, racial origin and cultural and linguistic background.
