EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the innocence and curiosity of 50 tiny children under five years of age at the Romani nursery school. Located within the Gypsy Hill Training College for Teachers of Young Children, this nursery school is a pioneering institution in Britain, being the first to train teachers specifically for nursery schools. The image showcases these young pupils engaging in various activities that not only nurture their creativity but also teach them essential life skills. From bathing a baby with utmost care to learning proper table manners and even cooking, these children are given a comprehensive education that extends beyond traditional academics. Their dedication and progress have earned them an extraordinary opportunity – they will be presenting a special display before none other than the Duchess of Kent on November 10th. This event aims to raise funds for their beloved college, ensuring its continued success in shaping future generations of educators. Taken on October 14th, 1938, this monochrome photograph provides us with a glimpse into an era between two world wars. It serves as a testament to the commitment towards social progress during those times. Preserved by TopFoto. co. uk, this remarkable piece from Europeana photography allows us to appreciate both the historical significance and timeless beauty captured within its frame.
