Anyone else on pox watch?

So my 6 year old dd had chicken pox starting last Tuesday when the first spot appeared.
She had a mild temp and off food the day before. Only a few spots and bit of a temp for first couple of days then bam! Broke out in loads on Friday and Saturday but has been recovering since then
I have a 22 month old dd too who is otherwise really well
I'm just wondering if she will get it?
She goes to nursery 2 days a week and they've had it going round for the past couple of months and she still hasn't got it yet.
Yesterday the nursery staff told me my dd is the only one left out of her group of 8 to not get it yet.
So every day I'm checking her but she seems fine
Anyone had the experience where they had a child who didn't get it?
Nursery staff think if she doesn't get within next couple of weeks she may be superhuman?

Ds1 got it last year and the baby (8months then) got it two weeks later. I personally was grateful for the delay. It meant I didn't have two sick children at the same time fighting for my attention. But the younger one had it so much more easier. Only two days of fever and no secondary skin infection which the older son got.

Oh that's so reassuring as everyone I spoke to tells me the younger child got it so much worse!
