English translation:The Tokyo Metropolitan Designated Testing Organization for Child-Care Personnel
Explanation:
Or:
The Tokyo Metropolitan Designated Testing Organization for Nursery Child-Care Personnel

--- I also cannot find a formal translation but my answer is based on the below information:

--- The below website calls 保育士 "Child Care Person." Since we are talking about more than one person, I am converting it to "Child-care Personnel."
http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/保育士
保育士（ほいくし、英: Child Care Person）は、一般に保育所など児童福祉施設において子供の保育を行う者。国家資格の一つである。

--- This website on Health Administration calls it a “designated testing organization.”:
http://data.lullar.com/衛生管理者
Health and Licensing Class I Class II is to be given by the licensing exam that tests conducted by the agency designated by the Minister of Health. Currently, the designated testing organization is the only American Society for Testing Safety and Health Technology Foundation. The qualification examination is required, then that indicates that a typical thing.



Here is a website which mentions the "Tokyo Metropolitan Child Guidance Center/Offices" and nursery schools, etc."
http://www.tokyo-icc.jp/guide_eng/child/02.html
Nursery schools (hoikuen/hoikusho)
Nursery schools accept children who require daytime childcare for specific reasons such as both parents are working or that parents are sick. Nursery schools are welfare facilities established according to the Child Welfare Law and are operated under the authority of the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare.
