Later in the twentieth century early years provision focused on families who had social needs and difficulties. Local authority day nurseries and nursery schools catered mainly for children who were at risk of harm and tended to be based in urban and deprived areas. Other early years provision was in the private sector, eg, childminders and private nurseries. During the 1960s the playgroup movement developed as parents set up provision themselves to enable their children to play with others and learn through this play using community facilities.

-Some parents need childcare while they work and want their children to be in a setting where they can learn and play to help their development.
-Some parents want to be there while their children socialise.
-Some parents want their children to attend a setting that is solely aimed at their child's learning.
-Some parents want their children to be in a small home-based setting.
-Some families would struggle to pay fees.
