Day Nurseries
Towards the close of 1950 new rules were formulated for admission
to Day Nurseries. The immediate effect of the application of
these rules was to eliminate the waiting list. Very few of the persons
circularised were willing to submit their alleged incomes to such a
rigid scrutiny, and accordingly withdrew their applications.
A Panel of members of the Area Health Committee was formed
to consider new applications and to review those cases already in
the nursery. This review was still in progress at the end of the year,
and the same four nurseries were in being, namely Bollo Bridge
Road, Horn Lane, " St. Dunstans," Friars Place Lane, and
" Longcot," Newton Grove
