Applications for admission far exceeded the number of places
available, and the Council decided upon priority classes for
admission, which are shewn below :—
Husband unemployed or frequently ill and unable to work
full-time.
Widow.
Husband in the Forces.
Wife separated or deserted.
Mother in hospital.
Unmarried mother.
Married mother working full-time/part-time, and husband in
full employment.
There were long waiting lists for admittance to all the nurseries
at the end of the year.
Of the four nurseries, three will eventually be taken over by
the Education Department for Nursery Schools, the site of the
one remaining to the Health Committee—Wall End/Caledon Road
has been bought by the Authority. Negotiations are pending at
the present time to acquire a site at Rancliffe Road for nursery
purposes.

Daily average based on 257 days nurseries were open.
NOTE.—The nurseries are closed on Saturdays.
