Student Nurses.
Miss Belding, Ealing Road Nursery, was our
first student to obtain the Diploma of the
National Society of Children's Nurseries. Two
students now await the results of their examinations
and it is hoped to present 3 candidates in August
and 8 in December for the Diploma.
The London County Council with regard to
their Child Care Reserve course of study have
sent us 7 students to take practical training.
Two school teachers have had a practical course
in the Nurseries at the request of the Lecturer
of Education, Diocesan Training College,
Salisbury, and 2 Superintendent Matrons (Watford
and Ipswich) attended for a week's practical
course at the request of the Royal College of
Nursing. One student from Vicars Green Nursery
classes is taking her course of lectures with our
students at the request of the Middlesex County
Council.
Two students have attended Wembley Hospital
for a 3 weeks' course.
On Saturdays the local Girl Guides give
much assistance in the Nurseries.
In the Sunmer Miss Simmons, Warden,
District Road Nursery, attended 2 weeks' Summer
School course of the Nursery Schools Association
at Nottingham.
It is a pleasant duty to record the
assistance always so readily received from the
Voluntary Helpers Association. In particular,
mention may be made of the loan cf ^iancs made
by this Association to the various Nurseries.
