Abstract

When there is overwhelming evidence on the beneficial effects of high quality ECEC services, especially for children from vulnerable backgrounds, it is important to clarify what we mean by quality and how this required quality can be obtained, upheld and guaranteed. Both the issue of quality and how to monitor it are quite complex however: who defines, or co-defines, what quality is, what evaluation systems are used, what outcomes are expected?
