NURSERY PROVISION.
On September 30th Pembury House and Rowland Hill Day
Nurseries were handed over to the Local Education Authority, and
have been continued as nursery schools. The remaining three day
nurseries continue to be full and active, and each has a long waiting
list. The children have maintained a good standard of health and
the nurseries have remained very free from infection.
Student training has been continued in conjunction with the
Tottenham Technical College.

BENGEO HOUSE NURSERY.
The Residental Nursery at Bengeo House continued its function
of releasing under-5's from the stresses of their "normal" home life,
and had proved itself of as high value in peace as it did in war in this
aim. The benefit of a period of Nursery life under country conditions
has been marked in every case, and will stand these children
in good stead for many years to come.
Staffing difficulties at this nursery have been very great, and at
no time during the year have we had a full staff. We have again
been able'to help many mothers over periods of domestic difficulty
by admitting their children temporarily to Bengeo, and all have
greatly benefited, the parents appreciating this service also.
