DAY NURSERIES
The borough has two day nurseries. 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.
