1. Whatever may be the duties of a member
of the nursing staff she washes her hands
thoroughly before preparing food, before giving
food, after changing an infant. All staff pay
strict attention to the fundaments of personal
hygiene themselves, e.g. thorough hand washing
after being at closet. Tweenies and toddlers
all have their hands washed before food. No
child of any age is fed in any room which is
used for "potting".
2. The personnel whose duty it is for the
week to attend to children's napkins ana to
"pottie" routine do not have duties which
require a "clean" member of the staff, for
example the preparation and distribution of
food. (Food, of course, includes the bottle
feeds of bottle-fed infants, as well as the
food of the tweenies and toddlers).
"Clean" personnel for the week do not give
napkin or "pottie" attention to any child. If
circumstances have aemanced such attention from
a "clean" person she is considered immediately
to have joined the "unclean" personnel for the
week. Changes from "clean" to "unclean" or
"unclean" to' "clean" are made on resumption of
the opening of the Nursery after the week-end
break. This rule is made in order to take
advantage of the break period available because
of the week-end closure of the Nurseries.
3. Boiling of napkins. Every used napkin
is boiled in the special copper provided.
4. Every child in the Nursery has always a
"napkin area" covering (napkin or drawers).
