- Pre-school Childcare in Britain, 1939-2010 investigates how competing ideas about child development influenced the provision, practice and experience of childcare for the under-fives. The culmination of a three-year research project, it analyses a wide range of published and unpublished material, including records of charitable organisations and local and national government. It also makes use of a collection of oral history interviews conducted by the author specifically for the project, with children who attended forms of childcare, parents who used childcare, and childcare workers, to shed light on the experiences of those involved in pre-school childcare, a subject hitherto unexplored.
