A PLAGUE of ticks has forced a nursery in Velez Malaga to close after having waited for a solution for more than a month. The teachers, however, have not left the forty children, aged between six months and three years, with nowhere to go, having secured authorisation from the Junta de Andalucia to provisionally open the nursery at one of their homes.
The tick plague invaded the street where the nursery is situated and it was forced to close while fumigations were carried out. After several weeks of uncertainty, the teachers decided to look for an alternative. They were first sent to a local school but, finding this was not an adequate solution, one of the teachers decided the ground floor of her home would be ideal. She obtained the licence and the teachers worked night and day to get the area ready for the children.
They intend to remain there until the fumigation has been completed and will prepare another room for the children, who are divided into age-groups. They have contracted the services of a catering company to provide meals for the children.
The parents are extremely happy with the ‘nursery’ and the teachers, who would have been out of work, are pleased to be able to keep attending to the little ones. |
