The Society does very valuable work in the Borough and
there is very close co-operation between the officials of the
Public Health Department and the officers of the Society.
War-time Nursery
During May, Eagle House, London Road, was opened as a
War-time Day Nursery. The house was adapted to accommodate
65 children, and the register was almost immediately filled by
children of full-time war workers, preference being given to
mothers of only children. The children admitted have made
very good progress, both physically and mentally, and have
shown the benefit to health of regular hours, good food and fresh
air.
No serious epidemic of infectious disease has occurred, any
cases or suspected cases being immediately isolated, and removed
to hospital if necessary.
At the end of the year a long waiting list existed, and
approval has been given for the establishment of a nursery for
50 children at 63, Robinson Road. This nursery will serve the
Colliers Wood district, and will probably relieve the waiting list
at Eagle House.
The average daily attendance at Eagle House was:-
Under two 16.07
Two—five 31.58
Total 47.65
