- What is Westminster Children's Society?
Westminster Children's Society (WCS) provides affordable nursery care and education for young children. It was founded in 1903 and caters for children aged six months to five-years-old. As well as its educational role, it also provides training for the sector.
- Where is it based?
As the name suggests, WCS has 14 nurseries in Westminster, but 2008 will see new centres in Camden and Barking and Dagenham.
- How is it different from other nurseries?
It is central London's only significant charity supplier of care and education for young children, which means that all positions are subsidised. Parents pay what they can afford so the nurseries draw children from a wide range of backgrounds.
