NOTE: The attack on the Borough by flying bombs tended to decrease
the attendances at the war-time day nurseries.
Great difficulty has been experienced in obtaining staff for the
nurseries. In this respect probably the east-end boroughs in
London suffer more than those in residential areas. The remuneration
does not encourage parents to allow their daughters to undertake
work of this kind in districts where it is difficult to obtain
lodgings. The Council has two small hostels for nurses with
accommodation for 10, but one of these must soon close.
