Opportunity for childcare : the impact of government initiatives in england upon childcare provision - 2002
This paper considers the impact of recent government initiatives upon childcare provision for children under the age of five. It is based upon interviews with parents and providers from two contrasting wards in Liverpool. The aim of the research was to indentify key issues and concerns with regard to childcare, adn perceptions about the impact of developments within social security and education provision. Governemtn policies have concentrated on supporting working parents who need to pay for formal childcare, and on providing an earlier start to the formal education of young children. There is a fear that this focus may be failing to recognize and support the diversity of families and their childcare needs
