Primary Times Hertfordshire EARLY TIMES COMPETITION! Move over, Bonnie and Clyde, because there’s a new criminal mastermind in town ... Baby Frank! Baby Frank’s parents say that he can’t have a pet – ‘Pets are for older kids’, ‘Be happy with your teddy’, ‘They cost too much to keep’ – which leaves Baby Frank with a BIG problem because he REALLY wants a pet. What’s a baby to do ... ? Rob a bank, of course! But will money buy Baby Frank the fluffy pet he so desperately wants?

There are about 8,000 cases of all types of meningitis each year across the UK, with the under 5s accounting for most of these. Each case is a tragedy for the individual, their family and friends. Meningitis, the inflammation of the membranes that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord, is usually caused by bacteria or viruses Viral meningitis can make babies and young children very unwell but is rarely life-threatening. Most children will make a good recovery. However, this can take time. Bacterial meningitis can kill, so urgent medical attention is essential. Although most babies and young children make a good recovery, one in ten will die and at least a third of survivors can be left with lifelong after-effects such as hearing loss, epilepsy, limb loss or learning difficulties. Some bacteria that cause meningitis can also cause septicaemia (blood poisoning) – which causes the telltale rash most commonly associated with the disease in parents’ minds. Where this happens it can lead to amputations. Charity Meningitis Now is passionate that everyone should know the signs and symptoms of the disease and act fast should they suspect it.

Times Primary Times Hertfordshire EARLY TIMES Awareness can, and does, save lives and improve outcomes. The early signs and symptoms of meningitis and septicaemia can be similar to flu and include fever, headache, nausea, vomiting diarrhoea and muscle pain. More specific signs and symptoms include fever with cold hands and feet, drowsiness, confusion, pale blotchy skin, stiff neck, dislike of bright lights and a rash which doesn’t fade under pressure. In babies, symptoms include being floppy and unresponsive, dislike of being handled, rapid breathing, an unusual, moaning cry and a bulging fontanelle (soft spot on the top of the head). CRÉCHE Ongoing The Laura Trott Leisure Centre, EN8 9AJ www.broxbourne.gov.uk Mon-Fri 9:15am-12:15pm, and Sat 9:15am-12pm. Suitable for 6 weeks to 4 years 11 months on weekdays, and 6 weeks to 5 years 11 months on Saturdays. Symptoms may appear in any order and some may not appear at all. The disease can develop very quickly so keep checking. Dr Tom Nutt, chief executive of charity Meningitis Now, which fights the disease through research, awareness and support for those affected, said: “Vaccines are available to protect against some types of meningitis, but there are not vaccines to protect against all types – that’s why it’s vital to know the signs and symptoms, trust your instincts and seek immediate medical help if you suspect the disease.” Find out more and request free signs and symptoms cards at www.MeningitisNow.org TODDLER TALES Ongoing North Watford Library, WD24 7RW www.hertfordshire.gov.uk 11-11:30am.
