  • Felix Issue 0854, 1990
    Day Nursery is a health hazard Parents who use the Imperial College Day Nursery may be risking their childrens' health, it was claimed this week. The nursery, which occupies the basement and ground floor at 8 Princes Gardens, suffers from peeling paint and damp plaster work. There is mould growing in some of the corners and there have been unconfirmed reports of silverfish and cockroach infestations. The basement is in the worst state of repair and houses the nursery kitchen and several play rooms. Because of a lack of space, children have to sleep on mattresses on the kitchen floor, sometimes as little as a quarter of an hour after dinner. The nursery caters for both college staff and students and employs ten people looking after around 45 babies and toddlers. The nursery staff complain that the staffing level is inadequate and that absences are not always covered. During the lunch break there could be just one person on duty. Worried parents have written several letters to college officials but, until recently, they have had little response. When FELIX visited the building earlier this month, there was a single fire blanket and just three obvious fire extinguishers; others were apparently kept in an alcove out of the way of the children. When contacted, college health and safety officer Mr Ian Gillet immediately inspected the building and has agreed to install better fire equipment. Mr Gillet was also asked about the fire exits. The basement has two such exits, one which leads straight out onto the street and a second which passes through several corridors, the Islamic society prayer room, unavailable for comment.
