DAY NURSERIES.
There are two Day Nurseries, one in West Hen-
don District and one in Child's Hill District, both
working class areas.
The Child's Hill Nursery is a small private establishment
in Devonshire Place. Mrs. Major Burgess realised
its need in this locality and established this Creche many
years ago.
The accommodation afforded has been utilised to its
full capacity, and an average of 14 children have been
cared for daily. Infants are received up to 5 years of
age, and one or two older children are given mid-day
meals in special cases.
The Creche opens at 8 a.m. and closes at 5.30 p.m
The West Hendon Nursery is situate at 127, The
Broadway, and is known as The West Hendon Day
Nursery.
It was initiated by The Women's Local Government
Association which is now a Section of The Women's
Citizen's Council.
It is open daily (except Saturdays and Sundays) from
7.30 a.m. to 7 p.m.
On an average 24 infants are received daily, and during
the year there were over 5,500 attendances. A charge
of 1s. per day is made, or 8d. in the case of poorer persons.
