The Fulham Day Nursery, Eridge House, Fulham
Park Road.—This Institution was inaugurated at 56,
Harwood Road, in 1906, and was transferred to its
present abode in 1916.
It is intended for the care during the day of children
under five years of age whose mothers are compelled
to go out to work. It is also a training ground
for children's nurses, and certificates are granted after
examination at the end of a year's training by the
Day Nursery Committee, which is affiliated to the
National Society of Dav Nurseries, 117, Piccadilly,
W. 1.
Dr. Ruby Thomson is Medical Officer to the Nursery.
There has been an increase of 679 in the total
number of attendances in 1927 as compared with 1926,
largely due to the fact that the fees have been reduced.
