Abstract
An increasing emphasis on the importance of quality in daycare and early education services has created a demand for research tools with which to evaluate this important aspect of provision. This paper describes one such instrument developed in the USA, the Early Childhood Environment Rating Scale, and analyses the experience of using this scale to structure observations of the environment provided in preschool playgroups in England.Keywords
