DAY NURSERIES
Two day nurseries were taken over from the Surrey County
Council. These are Fairmead, Ewell Road, Tolworth, (42 places)
and Canbury Park Road, Kingston, (46 places).
Admission to day nurseries is restricted to the following
priority categories:
1. Where the mother is the sole wage earner.
2. Where there is sickness in the family or
where home conditions exist which are
likely to prejudice seriously the health
of the child.
3. Where, upon consideration of individual
circumstances, it appears to the Council
that admission is necessary in the
interests of the child.
All children are under supervision by the medical staff
of the department.
