towels are provided for each child, and there is ample
accommodation for the hanging of coats and hats.
On the opposite side of the entrance lobby from the sanitary
accommodation are the kitchen and larder, fully equipped for
cooking by electricity, and there is a separate vv.c. and wash
hand basin for the Cook-attendant and her assistant. On the
north side of the nursery playroom are two rooms—one entered
directly, the toy store room, and the other, entered via the
playground, is the medical inspection and treatment room. The
whole forms a wonderfully complete and compact scheme.
