DAY NURSERIES.
These institutions perform a useful function in providing
a place where young children can be left under proper care
by mothers who for one reason or another are obliged to go out
to work.
The Burgess Day Nursery is self supporting, its income
being derived from endowment and subscriptions from neighbours.
It accommodates 14 children. Children are received
up to 5 years of age and a few older children attend
for meals only. It is open from 8 a.m. to 5.30 p.m.
The West Hendon Day Nursery receives a grant of £250
per annum from Hendon Urban District Council. A charge
of 1/- per head per day is made but in necessitous cases this
is reduced to 8d. The remainder of the necessary income is
provided partly by voluntary contributions and partly by a
grant from the Ministry of Health.
It is open daily (except Saturdays and Sundays) from 7.30
a.m. to 7 p.m. There is accommodation for 24 children.
I have the honour to be,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your.obedient servant,

Medical Officer of Health.
