DAY NURSERIES.
(a) The hours of opening at the two Nurseries during
1959 continued to be 7.30 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday to Friday
only.
(b) The standard charge for accommodation at the
Day Nurseries remains at 10/6 per child per day. Provision
is made for this charge to be reduced according to scale
when the means of the parents do not justify the full fee.
Accommodation has continued to be made available
to neighbouring Areas for children who can more conveniently
attend an Ilford Nursery than one in their own Area.
(c) The training of Students at the Nurseries for the
Certificate of the National Nursery Examination Board continued.
Six Students (3 from the Ley Street Nursery and 3
from the Goodmayes Lane Nursery) entered for the examination
during the year, 3 of whom obtained the Certificate.
(d) The table on the previous page shows the attendances,
etc., at the Day Nurseries during 1959.
