Nurseries and Child Minders Regulation Act, 1948
Under this Act any person who receives into her home for reward
three or more children under the age of five years to be looked after
for the day or a substantial part of the day, and premises, other than
those wholly or mainly used as a private dwelling, are required to be
registered with the Local Health Authority.
It has been apparent during the year that the demand by parents
of young children for play groups and nursery classes where these
children can have the companionship of others, is increasing.
At the end of the year the number of premises and child minders
in the Borough registered with the County Council were:—
Premises No. of children
Premises 6 191
Child Minders 1 6
Women's Welfare Clinic
This Clinic was held at 118 Hermon Hill monthly, with extra sessions
as necessary. Contraceptive advice is given on medical grounds on
receipt of a doctor's certificate. There were 68 attendances during
the year.
