cleverclowns Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Hi, Does anyone have a standard letter that they send to parents to advise them of a confirmed case of Chicken Pox. I did have one but I dont know where its gone!! Thanks Sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cait Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I just say that we have a child absent with it, could they please be vigilant about looking for spots, be aware, that type of thing. There's a bit about how long they should be absent and a bit about tried and tested methods to soothe, ie bicarbonate in the bath and Eurax cream Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louby loo Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 We just put notice on door, explaining to be aware and a link to NHS direct. We are preschool though, so easier to tell parents face-to-face etc. Not so easy with full daycare though- so can understand a different approach may be needed.

Gezabel Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 just note on door for us We have 1 confirmed case of chicken pox and then we change the number accordingly!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargrower Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 We are daycare and do the same - notice on the door saying which room the child is in. We've just had our biggest outbreak of chicken pox ever. It went on for over 8 weeks and about 30 children got it...and one poor dad! Just when we thought we'd seen the last of it, we got another batch. I guess its because it has such a long incubation period and you don't know you're infectious until its too late.

HoneyPancakes Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 As a point of interest - to me if not to you, but I'm going to tell you anyway - my youngest son had the pox no fewer than three times before he was three. First at 8 weeks old, then at 8 months old and again at 2 1/2. All doctor diagnosed. Pox be-gone. Honey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SueJ Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 We too put a notice on the door - saves paper - as Honey says chickenpox isn't necessarily a one off and my deputy's son had it three times before she got it - she tells me that having it as an adult is horrendous We had a big outbreak of the pox this year too - as beehive says the incubation period is so long the pox carriers have plenty of time to spread it around before they come out in spots :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finleysmaid Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 do you know it's just struck me that we have had one case of chicken pox this year and only 2 cases of nits! blimey...free flow really improves your health! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
