Thank you for your kind words, it’s true nurseries tend to be very strict about going in. I think a lot of jobs and workplaces are similar at the moment.I was having a similar conversation with my friend who works in a nursery yesterday. She's been unwell with tonsillitis but feels unable to call in sick and said it's quite common in nurseries to go in when you're feeling pretty poorly. I feel awful for her so I really hope you feel better soon. If you are unable to work then you should be able to call in sick.
I really feel for your friend, that is a challenging enough job, without that stress!Similarly my friend works in residential care. The fact that she doesn’t get sick pay, plus they are very short staffed due to 15 staff members with positive tests means that she is working almost 7 days a week at the moment
