YOUNGSTERS at the Playstation Day Nursery in Ledbury dressed up at heroes and heroines last Friday, for Children in Need, and raised £75.

Unfortunately, this week, fun has stopped for many of the children who usually attend the nursery, near Ledbury train station, because of an outbreak of chicken pox.

Playstation's manager, Ann Brennan, speaking on Monday said that six children were off ill, out of a usual total of 20.

She added: "Chicken pox is doing the rounds, definitely. It usually appears just before or just after Christmas, and last year we were lucky not to have it at all.

"This year, - it's not good."
