I am seeing a lot of information for teachers, but not that much for nursey workers.
As nursery worker we come in to physical contact a lot more with children than teachers.
We change nappies, help with toilet training, feeding, handwashing, cuddles, wiping faces, patting to sleep, changing in and out of clothes etc.
Nursey children also put their hands in their mouth and on other objects and then on you.
I cannot see how any social distancing or even effective infection control can be maintained in nurseries.
The nursery is also open from 7.30-6.00 with staff doing 8-9 hour shifts.
Having just read the guidance from the DfE, it seems that they dont think nurseries need PPE other than what they already use and are trotting out the same 'wash your hands more often' line.
