Some working parents believe that childcare centres can provide the best care for children who are too young for school, whilst others believe that family members such as grandparents may take good care of children. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion. (2015-03-14)

答案
Traditionally, when families lived close together, grandparents and other family members looked after small children whose parents worked. This has many advantages. Grandparents have already brought up children and know what to do. They often have time available and enjoy looking after the next generation. It provides a continuity of care and encourages love and respect from the children, even though they often get indulged and maybe a little spoilt. For the parents, it is a reliable, usually free of charge, solution to caring for children whilst they work. It can have disadvantages too. Grandparents might not be in the best of health; they could find the children too energetic and demanding, and they might simply not want to do it full time.
Increasingly, as more mothers work, children are put into childcare centres. There are advantages to this.
The staff are trained to look after small children; they choose to do this work and, presumably, enjoy it. The centre is staffed by a number of people, so the likelihood of it not being able to accept a child because of staff illness, for example, is small. Very often, such centres will have large equipment, such as climbing frames and swings, which ordinary families cannot house. There will also be a variety of toys, such as doll’s houses, train sets, dressing up boxes, sandpits, water trays and facilities for painting that many families cannot, or will not, provide. Children learn to socialise in such an environment and will usually be better prepared for starting school. The main disadvantage is cost, especially if the facility is of a really high standard. There is also the view that children are more secure if they are cared for by one or two people they know well, usually the parents, but these days taking time out to look after children is an increasingly rare luxury.
Opinions vary as to which is the better way of looking after pre-school children. Often it depends on the current fashion of the time, usually dictated by the financial situation, and particularly the need to have both parents working. Traditionally it was the mother’s role to look after the children, but more and more, fathers want to take their share.
The decision as to the best childcare depends on a number of factors. If the grandparents are available because they live nearby and are not at work, are in good health and willing to do it, this may be the best option for some families. Alternatively, a good local, childcare facility may be better for other families. Research has been done on various methods and conclusions are difficult to finalise because so many factors are involved.
Perhaps the best way is some sort of compromise, a few days with family members and a few days in a nursery, so the child gets the best of both worlds!
