Creches
48, Glenthome Road Tuesday 9.30 a.m.-12 noon
Friday 9.30 a.m.-12 noon
During the year welfare foods and other nutrients Including
National Dried Milk, concentrated Orange Juice and cod Liver Oil
have continued to be obtainable at the welfare centres, for certain
of these foods charges are made and the London county council
is responsible for the collection thereof.
In January 1955 the London County council approved in principle
the provision of additional occasional creches where children
between the ages of 2 and 5 may be left to give mothers free
time for shopping, laundering, visits to dentists and hospital and
other duties. These creches are also as useful play centres for
the only child who needs companionship.
There were no such Creches in Hammersmith, and in July it was
decided to open one at 48, Glenthorne Road in the same building
as the Infant welfare Centre.
This Creche was opened on 30th August 1955 and is available
every Tuesday and Friday from 9.30 a.m. to 12 noon and provides
sufficient accommodation for 10 children if required. Application
for admission is made to the superintendent of the welfare Centre
or the Health Visitor in charge. In all instances priority is
given to children whose mothers have to attend a clinic, hospital,
doctor or dentist for treatment or otherwise.
