I dread checking my emails in case my son has to isolate from school again - Metro
The first time I was notified our son’s reception class had to self-isolate, it was a Monday morning and I was standing at the school gates ready to drop him off for the day.
The whole year group of 60 children was told to go home – and stay there – for 10 days because his teacher had caught Covid-19.
This announcement came just days after the week-long half term in October last year and obviously meant that life for our family came to an immediate stand-still.
We were unable to seek childcare for our son because of the risk of him having the virus and work commitments had to be put on hold so one of us was always available to look after him. Four year olds aren’t always great at occupying themselves.
