`This book will be interesting to anyone working in childcare and education settings. It raises questions about what we want childcare to provide and offers us ideas about the types of role models we are giving our children if we do not give them access to male childcare workers' - New Childhood `Should men work in nurseries? Do they work differently from women? Isn't nursery work an extension of mothering and hence unsuitable for men? Do men provide positive roles for boys? Isn't there a danger that they will sexually abuse children? These are the questions this book asks. The authors dig and delve in a scholarly way [and] explore the findings of other researchers' - Children and Society
