The children attending the nurseries have continued themselves
to be the best proof of the good work done at these nurseries.
The numbers of children in attendance, of course, were
considerably reduced during the period of flying-bombs, but now
(July, 1945) most of the nurseries actually have waiting lists
again. The staffing problem, however, is acute, and it is now
very difficult indeed to staff the nurseries, having regard to the
constant resignations now being received.
The incidence of infectious disease amongst both the children
and the staff has continued to be watched.
