Product Description

Review
`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

Product Description
Highly Commended (Third prize) in the Standing Conference on Studies in Education book prize for books published in 1999.

`It was a breath of fresh air to see 'contentious' issues dealt with in an enlightened and informative way. We are certain it will move the debate on years!' - Chrissie Meleady, Sheffield Childrens' Centre

`Looks most interesting and will certainly be very useful' - Bronwen Cohen, Director, Children in Scotland

`It's a challenging and exciting book and I hope it is widely used' - Margy Whalley, Director, Pen Green Research, Development and Training Base, Pen Green Centre for Under 5's and Their Families

`An extremely interesting account. This book highlights some very important tensions and contradictions about the role of men in childcare work. The differing perceptions of women and men concerning men's involvement in childcare are particularly thoughtfully documented' - Peter Aggleton, Director, Thomas Coram Research Unit, University of London

`An essential book for the debate on gender and childcare... the more academic childcare students will cope with it, will be good for Second year BTEC students, `A' Level students' - Robin Wright, Lecturer, Bournemouth and Poole College of Higher Education

`Having been a lone male worker, this book has stimulate discussion on gender and how we need to wrestle and value difference. For that reason alone its worth buying' - Practical Parenting

5.0 out of 5 stars Really Informative, 15 Nov 2005
By S. Cloke "Eager Beaver" (Benfleet) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I loved this book, it really helps us understand that men are just as efficent as women in a nursery setting. I myself am a young male working in a nursery and sometimes i feel isolated but this book helped me to understand
Recoomend it to all men not just those who wish to work in a nursery setting
