DAY NURSERIES
The County Council, as local health authority, maintains in this
district four day nurseries to which children up to the age of five years
can be admitted, these being at Spencer Road, Wealdstone; Walton
Avenue, South Harrow; Kenmore Road, Kenton; and Headstone Drive,
Wealdstone.
The nurseries are intended primarily for the children of mothers
engaged whole-time on work classed as of national importance. In their
Development plan, the County Council's proposals regarding day nurseries
were :—"It is considered that the provision of day nurseries is
required to meet social, rather than health needs. In the circumstances,
the demand is likely to be somewhat fluctuating and the County Council
accordingly does not propose to embark upon a policy of progressive
expansion of this service. It will be guided both as to the numbers of
nurseries provided, and their siting, by local demands for women in
industry. In any case, it does not propose to encourage the reception of
infants under the age of two years in day nurseries."
Children under five years of age are admitted to one of the three
nursery schools maintained by the Education Authority, "Tyneholme,"
Rayners Lane, and Buckingham Road; or to the nursery classes attached
to some schools.
