Author Description

"Based on research in a sample of day nurseries in England and Wales, Day Nurseries at a Crossroads presents a unique opportunity to examine the service provided by day nurseries in the post Children Act era." "This book raises issues for all those concerned with young children's development, either as parents or professionals. It also highlights the need to address child care within the wider context of work and family responsibilities and calls on central government to take the lead in establishing a national child care agenda."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
