Premises for a War-time Day Nursery were prepared at Highgate Hill,
N.19. and during November 1945 it became necessary to transfer the Nursery at
Tufnell Park Road to the premises at Highgate Hill, as the London County Council
required the site to commence building thereon. The accommodation provided
at Highgate Hill was for 50 children instead of 70 as at Tufnell Park. Also,
during the early part of 1945 the accommodation at the Hornsey Lane Day Nursery
was reduced from 64 to 48 places for children between the ages of 2 to 5 years.
