DAY NURSERIES
The Borough continued to maintain, as in previous years, four day nurseries providing 200 places
plus an additional 10 places per nursery for urgent admissions.
The criteria for admission remain as follows:—
(a) the children of an unsupported mother (e.g. unmarried, widowed, divorced or separated);
(b) children whose home conditions are unsatisfactory from the health point of view;
(c) children whose mothers are incapable of caring for them adequately;
(d) handicapped children (particularly those partially, or completely deaf, maladjusted, or
partially sighted).
The maximum charge is 26/- per day, applicants being assessed to pay a lesser amount where applicable, according to the Council's assessment scale.
