Description:
Childcare provision has risen on the political agenda, from being a relatively marginal issue in the 1980s to being a major aspect of government policies and party manifestos today. It is not uncommon, or even contentious, to argue for more and better childcare. But this report goes further than this and scrutinises underlying questions: What factors influence the quality of childcare and how can these be changed? What are the probable consequences of improving the quality of childcare? What can be done to make high quality childcare accessible to all, regardless of their ability to pay? How can we ensure that our methods of caring for our children are consistent with our aspirations for a fair and sustainable future? (author abstract)
