Hampton Hill Day Nursery - 1885 April
 |
"This Institution has been established in the High Street for the purpose of taking in the infants of poor women who are obliged to go out to work. These little babies often wither and fade from neglect, or the seeds of ill-health and suffering are sown, which mar the comfort and happiness of life. |
It is hoped that with care and good nursing, in a warm and comfortable room many, who otherwise would be neglected, may grow up into strong and healthy children. A charge of 6d. per day per child is made, but this is not sufficient to cover the cost of rent, food and other expenses. The help of all is earnestly asked, and especially of, mothers whose children are provided with every comfort, and are soothed and caressed in all their little troubles. These little helpless ones appeal most pathetically to the kind sympathies of our reader. Subscriptions and contributions of toys, clothes, etc. will be gladly received by the Hon. Mrs. BLIGH, the ‘Vicarage, or Mrs. GARNONS, Fownhope." Source: The Hampton Hill Parish Magazine - 1885 April |
