finleysmaid Posted March 22, 2018 Posted March 22, 2018 First time in 18 years ive had to close.....everyone is ill ! parents have been great thankfully. Hope to run after school club tomorrow but otherwise it's a no go. Ive got a new member of staff starting next week...bless she's going to walk in to a hospital ward at this rate Quote
FSFRebecca Posted March 22, 2018 Posted March 22, 2018 Oh gosh! It must be bad ... have they all got the same thing or is it a collection of different ailments? Quote
finleysmaid Posted March 22, 2018 Author Posted March 22, 2018 Unfortunately 2 with the same and one different! ...we've had a bug going round for the last 2 weeks....keep telling parents NOT to bring their children in but its one of those bugs that's difficult to spot until the symptom hit ! Now administrators mum ill (she normally covers ) so looks like we'll be closed tomorrow too. This is the issue when you are short staffed and a small team. We've been struggling on .I hoped to get to the end of term but didn't quite make it Quote
finleysmaid Posted March 22, 2018 Author Posted March 22, 2018 sorry didn't have my glasses on (due to head down loo cleaning!) just realised that should be EVERYONE 32 minutes ago, finleysmaid said: !

zigzag Posted March 22, 2018 Posted March 22, 2018 Oh no hope you are all better soon. This happened to us one year, I kept reiterating the 48hours rule to parents and even went as far as saying if the staff catch it we run the risk of not having enough staff to run. Unfortunately it happened and we had to shut, still not sure parents learnt the lesson though! 🙄 Quote
Panders Posted March 22, 2018 Posted March 22, 2018 Hope everyone feeling better soon, what a shocker. We've had 3 off this week, children, some horrid virus, temp, coughing, nose glue etc., not pleasant. Quote
finleysmaid Posted March 22, 2018 Author Posted March 22, 2018 well i was boasting about not closing in the snow....serves me right Well ive cleaned all day...going in tomorrow to do the same Will be open for after school club but that's it; Quote
louby loo Posted March 23, 2018 Posted March 23, 2018 Take care of yourself and don't overdo things Finley - else you'll be going down with it too We had a lot off yesterday (children) so was hoping for a quiet day today - EVERYONE was in! Staff and children are all getting very weary though, I think it's just been a very long and cold 'short' term. I was sooooo nice today to actually find a little sun trap to sit in for a little while this morning- I can't believe we were actually thinking about suncreams. Quote
sunnyday Posted March 23, 2018 Posted March 23, 2018 Yes, i had the same thought as louby, don't overdo the cleaning - probably far too late with that actually....... When do you finish for Easter fm? Hope all staff are fighting fit for Monday! Quote
finleysmaid Posted March 23, 2018 Author Posted March 23, 2018 Thanks guys i have done quite a bit today...but i didn't go in till 10 after school club ran but was quiet. Suspect the bug we have is a noro virus type so hopefully with 4 days clear we should have cracked it. Quote
