arrangement exists with regard to four other Homes in the Borough
where infants are accommodated, viz.:—
St. Agatha's House, 39, Lancaster Road.
The Cross Roads Club, 88, Alexandra Road.
The Hampstead Hostel for Mothers and Babies, 7, Fitzjohn's
Avenue, and
The Main Memorial Home, 141, West End Lane.
During December, 1935, the Hampstead Foster Home removed
from 99, Haverstock Hill to 33, Fitzjohn's Avenue, and the children
were temporarily accommodated in homes at Tunbridge Wells and
Ferring-by-Sea.
An annual inspection has been made of the 12 boarding schools
in the Borough, where children under 9 years of age are received. In
all cases general sanitation, etc., was found to be satisfactory. It is
interesting to note that two of these boarding schools accommodate
children under three years, and more frequent visits are therefore paid
to these establishments.
One of the schools, which is a charitable institution, has been
exempted from the provision of the Children Acts, 1908 and 1932,
subject to facilities being given for an annual inspection to be made.
