Chicken pox toddler - how long

[PostHeads123]

My 3 year has chicken pox, started as a bit of cold then first spots appeared on Monday, he was still getting new ones yesterday but not noticed any new ones today. A lot haven't crusted over and still look like blisters. Typically how long have others kids had it and how long from the first spot appearing was it until you sent them back to nursery or school ? My son been home all week this week and tbh don't think he can go back to nursery next week as I cant see the spots healing enough, is 2 weeks the norm then for keeping them off with chicken pox ?

thanks

We had our daughter off for 2 weeks. Nursery didn't want her back until it was all gone.

They have all scabbed over now, he was covered in them in the end. I was dreading chicken pox but he has been ok not really cried or moaned, when he has had viral / bad colds he pretty much cried / moaned the whole time.

He due to go nursery tomorrow.
