Custodial history:
This school started in 1916, was a pioneer in nursery education. It was held in the ground floor premises of some small cottages, Marsland Street, Hyde Road, Ardwick. The school was always full with children of ages 2-5 years; throughout its history the headmistress was Miss K, Steel. The Committee regretfully decided to close the school in 1938, after consultations with Manchester Education Authority, and accommodation for the children was found in nursery classes in neighbouring elementary schools.
