See quote below from Times Online article where childcare Guru Steve Biddulph has concluded that full time nursery care for under-threes is detrimental to the child. The following quote is in defence of the government's policy....but my question is - is the government really creating a family friendly economy or an economy friendly family? I suspect the latter!!
An education department spokesman defended childcare policies, including two bills going through parliament, one placing a duty on councils to provide more childcare provision and another extending parental leave. “We are not telling parents what to do but we are trying to provide them with choices,” he said.
“We want to make sure every parent has access to high-quality, safe, stimulating and affordable childcare, so they have greater flexibility in how they balance their lives.”
