Abstract	The aim of this study was to explore the views of parents and caregivers on the optimal age for enrolment in childcare. The sample consisted of 41 parents of children aged 18 months or less who were in childcare (22 boys and 19 girls), and 34 of their caregivers. Parents and caregivers were interviewed using a semi-structured interview. Both parents and caregivers found the questions difficult to answer; individual differences between children were mentioned as one of the reasons. Many of the parents and caregivers suggested an enrolment age of 12-18 months. An interesting difference occurred between the two groups: five (13%) of the parents suggested enrolling children before the age of one year, such as at 9-10 months of age, but none of the caregivers wanted children enrolled before the age of one year.
