High quality childcare provision is a continuing policy challenge for the Australian Government. Lack of public confidence in childcare contributes to Australia's relatively low female workforce participation and constrains economic growth. This study will increase public, professional and parental knowledge of what life in childcare is like for infants; assist parents to make informed choices about childcare; enhance carers' professional practice; and provide guidance to the National Childcare Accreditation Council and relevant government departments about how to improve the quality of infant childcare. It will also lead to better outcomes for infants and help to ensure their healthy start to life.

提供高质量的儿童保育服务是澳大利亚政府面临的持续政策挑战。公众对儿童保育缺乏信心导致澳大利亚女性劳动力参与率相对较低，并限制了经济增长。这项研究将增加公众、专业人士和家长对婴儿托儿生活的了解；协助父母就儿童保育做出明智的选择；加强照顾者的专业实践；向国家儿童保育认证委员会和相关政府部门提供如何提高婴儿保育质量的指导。它还将为婴儿带来更好的结果，并有助于确保他们的健康开始。
