During the early part of the year it was ascertained there was
a need for a war-time day nursery in the Horn Lane area. After
considerable difficulty, premises were found to which, although not
by any means ideal, the Ministry's approval was given for the plans.
The work necessitated much renovation of the premises. The nurseryconsists
of a block of four two-storied houses in Horn Lane and when
completed, will Serve a very useful purpose in this area. Unfortunately,
these premises will not be ready for occupation until the
early part of Further sites for war-time nurseries have been
considered and St. Dunstan's Vicarage in East Acton has been
approved by the Ministry as a site, and the plans have been submitted
to the Ministry for approval. The Committee also approved
the Priory Club premises as a day nursery and plans will be prepared
for submission to the Ministry. At the request of the
Committee, suitable premises in South Acton are to be found, plans
of which will be drawn up when a suitable site has been approved
by the Committee.
Nurse Children.
The number of foster mothers on the register in 1941 looking after
nurse children was 17. Owing to so many female persons working,
it is difficult to find enough foster mothers for these children.
