Parenting style may be defined as the constellation of attitude and pattern of parental authority towards children who are contacted with the child. This creates the emotional context for the expression of parent’s behaviour. Parenting style differs from parenting practices which characterises the parent in the eyes of the child. It is considered to provide an emotional setting for the interaction between the parent and the child. As children move in to school the peer and community context the parent and child relation go through a change. If the child is goring independently that means the parents deal with issues regarding internet access and mobile phones and so on. A major change in the family situation such as a high rate of divorces or maternal employment can positive and negative for children. The parenting style influent can also be observed in the education of young children and their behaviour. Negative parenting might result arising issues such as aggression and lack of study. It might also result in substance abuse during their teenage years.

The research that is conducted is based on the impact of parenting style on the early age development of the children in Nursery in the UK. The parenting style plays an important role in shaping the personalities of the children. It has been noticed over the year that certain children were exposed to inappropriate environments and ended up ruining their future.

Therefore, the parenting style influence adolescent development and the individual personality. It has been noted that there are six types of parenting styles such as attachment parenting, helicopter parenting, permissive parenting, authoritarian parenting, authorities parenting and uninvolved parenting. Each style has its character and impact on the child.

Playgroups and preschools offer care and providing education to children between the age of 2to5 to years. The nurseries are usually organised by keeping the age of the children in mind and spilt in rooms for different aged children (Pacey, 2022). In England, all children of the age of 3 and 4 years old are entitled to 570 hours of free education or childcare (GOV.UK, 2022). There are some 2 years old while are also considered to be eligible for the same. Over the period from 2004 to 2017 the proportion of receiving childcare has increased from 47% to 61%. It was also noticed that there was an increase of 55% by the year 2008 that fell to 45% in the year 2011 (Hope, 2018).
