DAY NURSERY.
The coming into force of the Public Health Act, 1936,
was responsible for radical changes in the administration
of the Day Nursery. Under this Act the Surrey County
Council became responsible for all Maternity and Child
Welfare services in the Borough, and it was indicated
that it would be no longer possible to carry on the Day
Nursery as a municipal service. After many negotiations
the Nursery was successfully re-organised on a voluntary
basis with the assistance of a grant from the County
Council and donations from others interested in its
welfare. The old building closed at the end of July and
was removed to form part of the new building on the site
which was originally bought for that purpose in 1935.
