We have never had any instances of children being bitten by ticks whilst on our adventures at nursery. However we know that many of our families like to go on outdoor adventures at the weekend or on holiday too. A couple of parents have given us links to websites with information about tick bites and Lyme Disease. We have also put leaflets into children's orange bags. with information from about ticks/lyme disease.
