Nursery Classes.
During the year 1943 there has been no important change
in the nursery classes in Bromley Schools, namely, at the Valley
Infants' Council and Burnt Ash Infants' Council Schools, but
arrangements are in hand for the opening of an additional
nursery class for children whose mothers are engaged in work
of national importance at Burnt Ash Infants' School.
It is anticipated that the additional class to accommodate
a further fifteen children will be opened about Easter, 1944.
The class at this School will be opened during the whole of the
year, including school holidays, but excepting public holidays,
from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. weekdays, and 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. on
Saturdays. A staff of Child Care Reserve assistants and
Probationary Helpers will be engaged.
A play centre for children whose mothers are engaged in
work of national importance was opened at Raglan Road Council
School on 31st May, 1943. It operates during school term time
