Due to the admirable efforts on the part of the Nursery staff, only
one week elapsed between the closing of Plevna Nursery and the
admission of the children to the Cornwall Road Nursery. To avoid
any unnecessary hardship as much warning as possible was given to
the parents to enable them to make alternative arrangements.
Training of Nursery Nurses
The six students who completed their two-year training in
September were successful in obtaining the certificate of the Nursery
Nurses Examination Board.
Due to the limited facilities at Cornwall Road Nursery, only
four students were accepted for training as against six in previous
years. Once again, two students were accepted for one year's
Practical training under the pilot scheme organised by the Tottenham
Technical College.
