Day nursery facilities are provided by the County Council primarily for cases where circumstances are such that nursery accommodation is necessary on welfare grounds, e.g. for children having only one parent, for cases of temporary illness in the home, or where the child's home environment is unsatis¬ factory. The Southfield Park Day Nursery accommodates 50 children, approximately 15 under 1^ y^ars and 35 between 1^ and 5 years. Any surplus accommodation after satisfying the requirements of '’welfare cafies is allocated to children of households where both parents are at work.
