Day Nursery.
The Day Nursery in Bollo Bridge Road was taken over
by the Council in 1919, and the ladies on the Maternity and Child
Welfare Committee were constituted into a House Committee.
The Nursery opened during the year on 215 days, and the average
attendance was about 29. The majority of the children attend
regularly. One child made 215 attendances, and several others
attended on over 200 occasions. During the year, from 23 houses,
there were two children from each house, and in one instance
three children were attending from the same house. The average
cost per child per day varies, according to the number of attendances.
For instance, last year it varied from 2s. 3½d. in the month of
February to 7s. 7d. in August; but during most of August the
Nursery was closed, and only 136 attendances were made during
the month. The highest number of attendances were made in
the month of October, with 627 attendances.
Your obedient servant,
D. J. THOMAS.
