Yes

PlanDeRaccordement · 20/04/2020 09:31

No.

PinkGiraffe1 · 20/04/2020 09:35

Yes. If the Doc was working more hours/shifts then I could see why but 2 shifts isn't enough to warrant a nursery place.

The guidance is that children should be kept at home if possible, and that sounds very much possible for this family.

OuterMongolia · 20/04/2020 09:55

Yes

flumposie · 20/04/2020 10:01

Yes.

@Spam88 agreed.
Why would you take the risk of additional unnecessary exposure when you are a parent at home?
I have my 2yr old at home. DH is classed as a key worker (finance). I homeschool DD while trying to manage the younger one. It’s not ideal but it’s ‘good enough’ and we are at home safe.

No, they are following the rules. They’re literally doing what the government intended people to do!

8by8 · 20/04/2020 10:39

It’s not CF, it’s just a stupid pointless risk to take. I mean do it if you want, but you’re exposing your family to more risk, and all the other families and staff at the nursery.

clareOclareO · 20/04/2020 10:41

Yes.

parietal · 20/04/2020 10:43

no. It is allowed under current guidance, so if that is what the family needs in order to be able to work & function, then let them do it. It is not for outsiders to interfere with their family decisions.

SeasonFinale · 20/04/2020 10:43

No

Franklydear · 20/04/2020 10:45

Cf? No
Technically, you are allowed
Why would you want to? I don’t know

Pippinsqueak · 20/04/2020 10:50

I'm a key worker as is my husband both for the nhs, the guidelines say the one person should stay at home as we have a one year old. My company is saying if there is work for me to be done I have to stick her in childcare or take unpaid leave as I am technically refusing to work

Who do I believe ??
