Using data from the nationally representative Millennium Cohort Study, this study examined the association between age of starting and weekly hours in formal childcare between birth and 5 years with internalising and externalising behaviour trajectories from ages 5 to 14 years in England (N = 6194 children). Associations were analysed using multilevel general linear regression models, with adjustment for socio-economic position, maternal mental health, demographics, and child temperament. Later entry was associated with more internalising behaviours at age 14 years. Children who spent > 40 h per week in childcare between birth and 3 years displayed more externalising behaviour at 5 years than children who did not attend childcare. Controlling for socio-economic position and parental mental health attenuated findings.
本研究利用具有全国代表性的千禧世代队列研究的数据，调查了英格兰6194名儿童从出生到5岁开始接受正规托儿服务的年龄和每周时长与5至14岁内化和外化行为轨迹之间的关联。使用多水平一般线性回归模型分析关联，并对社会经济地位、母亲心理健康、人口统计学和儿童气质进行了调整。较晚开始接受托儿服务与14岁时更多的内化行为相关。在出生至3岁期间每周接受托儿服务超过40小时的儿童在5岁时比未接受托儿服务的儿童表现出更多的外化行为。控制社会经济地位和父母心理健康后，研究结果有所减弱。
