A mobile band of voluntary workers merit special
praise for their loyal help and we are indebted to the
War Supply Depot and the Women's Voluntary Service
for making- all the overalls and knickers, and also to tlie
Light Rescue personnel who provided toys and have
worked many hours in the garden. The Heavy Rescue
personnel built an additional room for storage of beds
and a laundry drying room.
In September the Nursery became a Training Centre
for Nursery Nurses with affiliation to the National
Society of Children's Nurseries. Four students are now
in training. The Nursery has also been used to train
students of the Bromley Technical School taking the
Ministry of Health Child Care Reserve Course.
The health of the children has been good. Whooping
cough of a mild character was responsible for exclusion
of a few children.
The children enjoyed excellent Christmas arrangements,
a Christmas tree being provided by a Father in
the Army and toys were made and given by the gills
of the County School.
Additional Nurseries will be opened in 1943.
High tribute is due to the Matron, Miss F. E.
Hobbs, for the marked ability with which she has
organised and supervised the Nursery.
