  • Summary

  • Over only a generation, early childhood in Britain has become radically different. Across three cities, we’re speaking to parents and children about their lives, worries, and dreams, and – with the help of the Nuffield Foundation – uncovering the hidden stories behind these seismic changes.

    “We absolutely work with the family until the job is done.”

    “It's been a difficult time, but we're getting there. We're all getting used to each other.”
