Occasional Creche
Creches for the minding of young children, whilst their mothers take part in
centre activities, attend clinics, visit hospital or attend to domestic duties, are provided
at several centres. A charge of 15p. per session is made but this is abatable in necessitous
cases; no charge is made when the parent attends hospital or a centre activity.
Where 2 or more children from one family attend the charge is 7|p. for the second and
subsequent children.
