Nursery Classes.
During the year 1944 the Extended Nursery Class at the
Burnt Ash Infants' Council School was opened, and as an extension
of the original class for 24 children, it provided for the
admission of a further 15 children ; but on account of evacuation
the numbers of children in attendance have not made it necessary
to operate the extended class.
Also on account of evacuation, the Play Centre at Raglan
Road Council School was closed on 31st July, 1944, with the
approval of the Ministry of Labour. There are no play centres
now open in the Borough, and the nursery school provision is as
