DAY NURSERIES
(a) The hours of opening at the two Nurseries during 1960 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, all of whom obtained the Certificate.
