How research into
attachment and day
care has influenced
childcare practices
- Bowlby's research
- Bowlby suggested
that infants are
innately programmed
to attach for their
survival.
- E.g. crying, smiling-
social releasers to
encourage
attachment between
child and carer
- Not a learned response
but instinctive to enable a
child to survive
- E.g. crying, smiling-
social releasers to
encourage
attachment between
child and carer
- Influence on child care practices
- This has led to a low staff/ child
ration in daycare settings. The
government specify the following
adult-child ration
- Age 0-2:
1 adult to
3 children
- Age 2-3:
1 adult to
4 children
- Age 4-8:
1 adult to
6 children
- Age 0-2:
1 adult to
3 children
- Nurseries also operate a
key worker system, where
each child has one adult
assigned to them who
tracks the child's
devlopment
- The key worker also
engages with the primary
caregiver to ensure the
child settles into nursery
and follows their home
routines as much as
possible
- This ensures quality
attachments are formed
at a young age because
the child can form one
attachment and feel
comfortable

- Bowlby's idea of the
internal working model
- Suggests that in the first
attachment , the child is said
to build up a model of
themselves, a model of their
caregiver and a model of the
relationship between the twp
- Influence on child care practices
- This has lead to standard put
into place to ensure that staff at
day care facilities are well
trained
- For example a childcare
provider on Early Years
Register must have a
manager with a full and
relevant level 3 qualification
- Someone with a
full and relevant
level 3 childcare
qualifications to
work directly with
the children and
at least half the
rest of the staff
must have a
minimum of a
relevant level 2
qualification

- Robertson and Robertson
- Carried out research
lookin at the short term
effects of separation from
an attachment figure
- They found that it causes
distress for the child when they
were seperated
- Protest
- Distress
- Despair
- Detachment
- They suggested the
following ways children's
experiences of separation
can be improved
- Looked after
by same carer
each day
- Cared for in
home
environment
- Children ate well
while staying in
foster care
- Children visited
mother and
brought things
from home
- Looked after
by same carer
each day
- Protest
- They found that it causes
distress for the child when they
were seperated
- Influence on child care practices
- When Robertson and
Robertson started their
research in 1949 the visiting if
children in hospitals was very
restricted
- E.g. At London hospital, under
3 year old-no visits but parents
could see children through
partions
- Government policies and
hospital attitudes and
parents expectations
changed
- Now parents are
encouraged to stay with
their children for as far long
as possible
- The hospitals can even
provide an extra bed in the
child's room so the parent can
stay overnight
- Some hospitals have family
accomodation at the hospital and
parents are actively involved in planning
and implementing their child's care.

- EPPE
- Looked at large
numbers of children in
different types of
pre-school
- They found the following
about high quality care
had greater sociability
with other children
- This was particularly
important when they formed
educational and social
developmental

- This has impacted
the development of

- In 2008, the government introduced
the Early Years Foundation Stage,
which gives child care providers a
structure of learning, development and
care for children from birth to 5 years
old
