Steve Biddulph looks at childcare choices and the dilemmas that so often arise:- 'I want to stay at home with my child but don't know how I can'- 'I don't know what is better: nursery, creche or childminder'- 'if other people look after my child will it affect its development and happiness?'It examines the two-income 'slaves to work' culture in the UK and how in the past ten years, the number of babies and toddlers under three who are spending all day (8am to 6pm) in nurseries has quadrupled.
