attend any other. The argument for and against day nurseries continues,
but the fact remains that there will in any locality be a number of mothers
who need to be helped to enable them to bring up their small children,
and under present arrangements this help can best be given by arranging
for their children to be looked after and so free them to go out to earn

Children of over two but under five years of age are also admitted to
one of the three nursery schools maintained by the Education Authority,
these being at "Tyneholme," at Rayners Lane, and at Buckingham Road.
Older children attend the nursery classes attached to some schools.
