The effects of day care

After half-term we will be looking at the effects of day care (nurseries, childminders etc) on children. There is a vast body of research on this topic with very often contradictory findings.

I would like you to have a look at a current UK longitudinal study on childcare - the Families, Children and Child Care (FCCC) project. The website address is here. Have a read of the homepage and the page about the FCC and then the findings. Find the page of published results and have a look at some of the abstracts (summaries of the journal articles).
