Current covid rules

Hi all, thanks for the add. I am after some advice on the current rules with covid within schools and nursery's in the UK. I have looked everywhere but cannot find any information that hasn't been withdrawn or is clear. Can anyone tell me if a school or nursery have any legal obligation to inform parents if all of their staff have tested positive for covid? I am asking because my partner and I have tested positive this morning and one of our children is also positive. We found out yesterday that the nursery where 2 of our children attend is absolutely riddled with covid. I immediately went and collected my kids and after a heated discussion I was informed that there was no legal obligation for the nursery to inform anyone of any amount of covid that was present in their school. My kids attended the nursery without my knowledge of this and the nursery have had positive cases for the last two weeks. I believe that it's completely immoral for them to withhold this information but I need to know if they are correctly informing me that by law they could hold this information from us. Please help as I have searched everywhere and its not on the government website or any forums I have looked at. Many thanks for your help x

There will be no legal right for a nursery to give out medical information regarding any illnesses their staff are suffering from. None. How would you feel if your employer started giving out details of your health issues?

As ridiculous as it seems, especially to those of us with CEV loved ones, there is not even any legal obligation to test or to isolate if you do test and are positive. So, basically, the whole of nursery could be full of Covid and no one have any idea at all.
