Abstract
This article looks at the challenges of flexible working hours for family policy and work in the childcare sector. He began by noting that there was a renewed need for flexibility in terms of childcare arrangements in France, before examining the adjustments to French family policy, which was intended to encourage greater flexibility in reception hours while leaving the initiative to local stakeholders. On the basis of a qualitative survey of childcare facilities with atypical working hours, the article asks about the effects of extending parents’ atypical working hours both on the functioning of childcare facilities and on the work of early childhood professionals.
