We really appreciate parental support in following PHA guidelines and our policy around sickness. Thank you

Schools are back and so are the bugs! 😷

Do you have a child who's unwell and are wondering if they should be in nursery or school?

Check out this handy guide to find out when they should stay off, and when they can go back if they are well enough to do so.

Symptoms and severity of illness will vary from person to person. If your child is unwell and you have concerns about their symptoms you should speak to your GP.
