I do not think there are any ohers in Brum, but anyway , some years ago I went to a talk Ion childcare in WW2 and they showed some photos of the institute where children were cared for in WW2 and it was Hunters Road
 
My mother worked in a day nursery for a while during WW2 but unfortunately I can't remember which one, probably not too far from the Perry Barr area.
