EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1896, offers a rare glimpse into the daily life at Ogle Mews Creche, located on Foley Street in the heart of Marylebone, London. Established around 1870, this creche was one of the first of its kind in the city, providing essential care and welfare services for children in need. The image shows a group of dedicated staff members, clad in Victorian attire, engaged in various activities with the children. The warm and nurturing environment is evident as the staff interact with the young ones, creating a sense of joy and playfulness. The children, dressed in their best clothes, appear happy and content, enjoying their time at the creche. The Ogle Mews Creche played a significant role in the social and welfare landscape of London during the late 19th century. It offered a vital service for children who were orphans, abandoned, or otherwise in need of care and support. The creche's establishment marked an important step towards recognizing the importance of early childhood education and care. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the history and legacy of the Ogle Mews Creche, which continues to inspire and inform modern-day childcare services. It is a testament to the enduring power of community, compassion, and the transformative impact of early childhood experiences.
