This is the first volume in an international series on child care designed to explore the field of child care from a wide variety of national and professional perspectives. The book focuses on the existing gaps between research, policy and practice, describing why the gaps exist and what can be done ? and already has been done ? to close them. Nineteen experienced authors from six European countries have pooled their talents to bring to the reader a selection of important advances in research and practice, with a focus upon the application of these advances to policy.
