Illness Guide

Back to News
2nd Sep 2025

This is a very helpful guide to childhood illnesses from the Public Health Agency.  By following this guidance we can reduce the spread of illness within the Nursery.  We have continued since COVID to wash our hands on arrival & will share information regarding reported illnesses throughout the year as you may have a vulnerable family member or be in the early or late stages of pregnancy - therefore allowing your to make an informed decision.   

We would be very grateful if you inform us of any illness ASAP, by replying to this message, emailing conventofmercyns@outlook.com or calling the school office on 02844614682.
