Wrap up and play in the great outdoors too as autumn colour paints the gardens and woods at Speke. Crunch through leaves, solve the mystery of the hedge maze, explore the Giant Childe of Hale play trail or let off some steam in the woodland play area.

Flu can be a very unpleasant illness in children as they suffer the same symptoms as adults including fever, chills and aching muscles and some may need to go to hospital for treatment. The best way to protect your child from flu is by having them vaccinated.


For most children, the vaccine is given as a nasal spray. The vaccine has been used over the last six years in the UK where millions of children have been vaccinated. It is safe, quick, effective and painless. GP practices provide the flu vaccination to children of 2 and 3 years of age. The flu vaccine is provided in schools to all primary school aged children. The flu vaccine is also available to older children with certain long term conditions such as diabetes and asthma requiring a regular preventer inhaler. The flu vaccination is free to these groups.


A consent form will be sent to you via school either on paper or electronically. It is important that you sign the form and send it back to school so that your child can be vaccinated when the immunisation team come to the school.


Strains of flu can vary from year to year, so even if your child was vaccinated last year it is important that they are protected for this coming season. Protect your little ones from flu and make sure you take up the flu vaccine when it is offered.
