It is intended for the care during the day of children
under five years of age whose mothers are compelled
to go out to work. It is also a training ground for children's
nurses, and certificates are granted after examination
at the end of a year's training by the Day Nursery
Committee, which is affiliated to the National Society
of Day Nurseries, 117, Piccadilly, W.l.
Dr. Ruby Thomson is Medical Officer to the
Nursery.
There has been an increase of 203 in the total
number of attendances in 1928 as compared with 679 in
1927.
Arrangements have now been made for the erection
of a verandah on the west side of the house which will
enable the children to lie out during fine weather and
obtain the maximum benefit from the open air and sunlight.
Its erection has been discussed by the Committee
on many occasions and it has now been rendered possible
by the kindness of Dr. and Mrs. Spero who have collected
the necessary funds and also subscribed liberally.
