We have had more confirmed cases of Scarlatina in the nursery. It is very contagious and if your child shows symptoms please take them to the doctor as it needs to be treated with antibiotics. Exclusion period from nursery – antibiotics to be taken for five days and you can return to nursery on the sixth day. Symptoms are high temp, sore throat, fine pink pinprick rash that spreads rapidly. See scarlet fever on NHS direct for more information.
Many thanks Annie
Sue Stratton offers riding lessons for the children at Smarties on our gorgeous grey pony Miss Muffin. Hopefully the weather will soon be improving and Sue will be starting riding lessons for the over three year olds after February half term.
As a special introductory offer to encourage new children Sue is offering a package of 6 lessons for the cost of 5.
If you are interested in your child participating then please either enquire at Smarties or telephone her direct on 01829 260300.
Just to let parents know that unfortunately we have a couple of cases of head lice in the Middle Nursery at present so would ask that you please be vigilant regarding your child’s hair. Head lice are no respectors of persons and particularly like clean hair!
