DAY NURSERY SERVICE
Early in March 1965 Ashton Gardens Nursery was closed and transferred to
Fanshawe Junior School while the old building and clinic were demolished in
preparation for rebuilding.
The nursery was comfortably accommodated in a building within the school
grounds. The Headmaster and Staff of the school were most welcoming and helpful,
for which we are very grateful. The School Meals Service provided us with meals,
making special arrangements for the babies, and we would like to thank them for
taking such a lot of trouble. On the whole, it has been a very happy arrangement,
the children particularly appreciating the 'bus ride to and from St. Chad's
Church Hall which was the picking-up and returning point each day. We look
forward to returning soon to Ashton Gardens, and hope to report next year that
we have returned there.
Another important event during the year was the completion of the new
Eastbury Day Nursery in Blake Avenue, Barking. The children were transferred
