EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Melchetts Home at Petworth House - September 1939" offers a glimpse into a bygone era. The image showcases a group of small children, accompanied by six staff members, posing in the enchanting garden of Melchetts Home. Nestled within the prestigious Petworth House estate, this idyllic setting exudes tranquility and charm. In the foreground of the picture, a tricycle stands proudly as if awaiting its next adventure. A toddler with rosy cheeks sits atop it, his eyes gleaming with excitement. Nearby, an attentive caregiver cradles a precious baby in her arms while another member of staff lovingly tends to their needs. The atmosphere is one of warmth and care as these dedicated individuals create an environment that nurtures and protects these young souls. Their commitment to providing quality nursery care is evident in their smiles and gentle gestures towards the children. Preserved within the George Garland Collection at West Sussex Record Office Ref. , this photograph captures not only a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to the importance placed on early childhood education during that period. As we gaze upon this remarkable snapshot from history, let us appreciate those who came before us—those who recognized the significance of fostering growth and development for our youngest generation. May it inspire us to continue nurturing future generations with love and dedication in our own communities today.
