Two hours later he was dead, his death caused in part by an acute allergic reaction. Now childcarers around the country are seeking to learn from the case and take steps to ensure that such a tragedy can never be repeated.

Any study that finds negative effects for children in daycare is going to be greeted by hysteria on several fronts. The results will be brandished by organisations and individuals, mostly on the political right, seeking ammunition for keeping mothers in the home. Those involved in early years and childcare will, on the whole, be equally vehement about the worth of good- quality childcare. So the latest findings from the American Study of Early Child Care and Youth Development (see News, page 4) will cause controversy, especially as the research team includes Professor Jay Belsky of Birkbeck University, whose outspokenness on this issue has raised many hackles in recent years, even among his own colleagues. As Professor Belsky is keen to point out, however, he is only reporting the results. In this case, he is 'truly sorry to say' that the more time children spent in daycare, the more aggressive and disobedient they were rated by teachers - and the quality of care had no mitigating effect.
