The BuDS Covid risk level is now High. Accordingly, we now recommend that Covid-Cautious people take full precautions, including a PPE mask, in ALL indoor places.

Covid infection levels in England are rising very steeply, and all the data is pointing in the same way. There is no sign yet of a slowing in the rate of infection or that we are nearing ‘the peak of the wave’. (1/2)

Surprising message of the day! Eliminating infectious children from the classroom helps the individual child to recover, and it protects everyone else from infections. Well done this preschool! 👏👏👏

Good morning

Due to the ongoing flu like symptoms going through the school we cannot rule out Covid even though tests may come back negative. There is a new variant going around the UK and the symptoms include:

High Temperature

Cough

Runny Nose

Body Aches

Headache

Loss of taste and smell

We have had so many poorly children and staff with these symptoms and we don't want it spread. Please keep your child at home if they present with any of these symptoms and do not bring them back until they are better.

Staff will be checking temperatures and if they think your child has any of these symptom's they will be sending your child home to recover.

Covid infection levels in England are rising very steeply in a similar way to the autumn 2025 wave. While BuDS relies on the weekly NHS Notifications of Infectious Diseases (NOIDS) data to estimate prevalence, we also look at all other available data to cross-check our estimates. (1/3)

"Sometimes, even if I stand in the middle of the room, no one acknowledges me"
This image is a cartoon depicting the "elephant in the room" metaphor.

An elephant, labeled COVID-19, lies on a couch as if it’s a therapy patient, saying:
"Sometimes, even if I stand in the middle of the room, no one acknowledges me."

A person, possibly a therapist, sits nearby taking notes.

The message highlights how, despite COVID-19 still being a major issue, society often ignores or downplays its presence—just like ignoring an obvious elephant in the room.
