How children are treated in school and definitions of childhood, have both changed radically since the turn of the 19th century. The author looks at the changing definition of childhood since the Middle Ages, studying in detail three nursery schools, their catchment areas, goals and composition. He offers a sociological explanation of the variations between them.
