- Findings
- Pre-school attendance improved cognitive development, social behaviour e.g independence& cooperation
- Children at a disadvantage more likely to have adverse social profiles
- Could be reduced by high quality pre-school
- Type of care had effects - integrated centres (combined care & education) had best intellectual and social development (even after backgrounds)
- Disadvantage children were better in mixed social background environments
- Evaluations
- Represents UK as large and diverse - however we cannot necessarily argue that the results can be generalised to other cultures.
- High internal validity as extraneous variables such as background and types of day care were taken into consideration so can argue cause and effect.
- The study has had many useful applications, for example it helped to begin the surestart programme however some argue applications are not widespread enough
