Childcare, choice and class practices

Description:

"Childcare, Choice and Class Practice is based on the findings of a substantive study which investigated the childcare markets and the choices made by middle-class parents in two London localities. In this account of the research the authors explore the complexities of the relationship between locality, childcare choice and childrearing. They highlight processes of social reproduction, the continuation of gendered responsibilities and conceptions of 'good' parenting." "The book considers the development of the UK government's childcare strategy from 1998 to the present day, and highlights the critical debates surrounding middle-class families' choice of childcare."--Jacket.
