COVID-19 — Coronavirus

Yes, both of us are. It's a private nursery and they shut saying it was financially unviable to remain open. It's happening up and down the country.

I’d still contact the LEA to find out what’s going on.

Anyone else fed up with pointless posts in the thread about pubs rather than about what Taiwan said?

Thanks for the input, Sheriff.

Thanks for the input, Sheriff.

Just wait until his Deputy arrives.

If they’ve gone bust, that’s a different issue.
But it seems ridiculous that the government had decreed key workers are supported by having their children looked after, and then the nursery doesn’t.

There’s a key difference though. Schools are funded by the state whereas most nurseries are small businesses, run by ordinary people with little liquidity.

For the government to honour its stated commitment, I’d argue (as above) that some nursery workers be transferred temporarily into the schools that remain open.

Shut down and then try and force you to keep paying by threatening your place unless you do.

Not sure you can blame a nursery for shutting down if money has run out.

However to force anyone to keep paying is really shabby. I would report that if I were you.

Morning you blue bastards - one day closer to being back to normal. Might take a few weeks, a few months, maybe even longer but one day this will all pass and we will be in a pub on the way to watch City. It will come.

Keep positive!

When this crisis is over, if you had to choose between going on a bender with the lads or taking your partner out for a romantic dinner....




Which pub would you meet your mates in?

But for some reason the media heard that normal masks weren't 100% effective and started screaming about them not protecting people.

Because it's what the media thrive on.

Those few square feet of balconies are precious in current circumstances. They must be keeping some people from going doodle alley.
