1) you should approach education officer of muncipal corporation in delhi and obtain permission for running a play school

2) in residential area you cannot use the premises for commercial purposes , take written permission of resident association

The licensee would need license from municipal corporation

There will be no permission sought for setting up play school from all those authorities you have mentioned

The framework of fees versus the facilities must be transparent. A schedule for interaction with parents from time to time regarding academics and administration is important.

The staff whether teaching or non teaching, needs to be experienced, trained and genuinely interested in spending time with the kids.

The location for preschools / daycare / pre primary schools also matters.

A sound and quality infrastructure is important. This constitutes classrooms, play area, wash rooms, pantry and office. The space need not be very large but must be adequate and well ventilated. The interior can be simple but has to be convenient for the kids and of good quality. A colorful interior is recommended for preschools. Cleanliness, hygiene and safety are relevant and that goes without saying. The preschool market in India exhibits a lot of variation.

Hope there is no fee for same, if yes please advice that as well.

in new delhi, does it required ?

The local taxes to be paid to the Municipality for the license shall be applicable.

Presently, there is no central law regarding the registration to start a preschool, though some state laws exist such the 'Private School Education Acts' in Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra and others. Many other states have letters issued by the State Government (under the guise of RTE Act), regarding the starting and running of a preschool.
