Introduction
Reasons for choice;
Structure;
Early childhood
education
Nurseries-One of the options are private
institutions, so-called "day care centers",
ideal for parents who work full-time
Preschool- Another option is "Preschool",
in which it accepts babies until they
reach preschool age.
Childminders-The amount charged for
them varies depending on their
qualifications.
 Examples of nurseries
schools-Good ones
The Busy Bees Group- The original founders are still very much involved in the
running of Busy Bees, and the standards of childcare they demanded, for their
own children back then, are still enthusiastically preserved in every facility
managed by Busy Bees.

Bright Horizons Family Solutions-In 1986, the founders of this institution saw
that child care was an enormous obstacle for working parents. First of all, they
created local centers to help families with their kids and now they have schools
around the UK.

Kids Planet-Set up in 2008 by hard working mum Clare Roberts, Kids

Planet now has 96 outstanding nurseries across the UK and is responsible
for the care and education of over10,000 children.
 Examples of nurseries
schools-Bad ones
Snapdragons Nurseries- Snapdragons is a family-run business that can react
quickly to local needs but, more importantly, can respond personally to the
families that it serves.

Chestnut Nurseries Schools- At Chestnut Nursery Schools, they believe that the
kids gain a fantastic start in life. These early years of childhood will give them
strong foundations of learning and curiosity that can
provide so many opportunities to their later life

Happy Days Nurseries- The first nursery was created in 1991 in Cornwall. It
now operates 18 nurseries throughout the South West.

 Conclusion
In our opinion, we do not think it is correct that children in
England have progressed without achieving the desired,
since it is essential that children have certain bases defined
according to their age, so we can highlight future problems
in the child's development.
