Chicken pox - what do I do WRT possibility of both children being contagious

[Pennies]

DD1 came out in chicken pox spots today and so I'm going to keep her off school until all her spots are dry and starting to heal.

DD2 hasn't had it yet and so I expect she'll probably get it sometime over the next 3 weeks.

Does this mean that I have to keep DD2 off nursery until she's either had it or the 3 weeks is over?

Ask the nursery but I expect they will say yes. Mine had it within 2 days of each other so hopefully yours will be the same.

You shouldn't have to keep her off until she actually come outs with spots, theres always the chance she won't get it.
