My youngest son has started with chicken pox today, he is not I'll with it but I am aware he is infectious, what do I do regards work should I shut down or give parents the choice of bringing their children? I have one child not coming as mum is early days pregnant. Thanks Hannah

I had chicken pox sweep through me September last year , my friends son (2) got it first and being a cm aswel. Our mindees and children were together slot so the inevitable happened , I gave the parents a choice and they all said they would continue to bring them as with chicken pox the damage is Allready done by the time you know about it , most of the children once they hit it had a few days of due to having temperatures and it took a good 6 weeks to go round every one but at least it shouldn't happen again . My daughter as she had already had chicken pox got impetigo instead which I managed to control to a minimum
