Thriftygifty, find out exactly what measures the school are taking to keep everyone safe. From what I've seen in the news, most schools appear to have it well organised.

Changing the subject slightly, I've just seen the new infection figures in England and think things are about to hit orbit. So I just blew 3 weeks money on a Sainsbugs delivery for the weekend.

Thriftygifty, my DD is a teacher in early years, i.e. nursery and reception. Her school has lots of procedures in place for all sorts of eventualities, once they go back next week. Like nargleblast says, ring the school tomorrow and talk to the headteacher or email your DS's teacher and tell them everything you're worried about. I'm sure they are the best ones to reassure you, as they know what measures they have put in place.

Thank you everyone for your reassurance about School, sorry to clog up with my wobbles about everyday life! Hobbycraft sell the really useful boxes, also if you sign up to their free reward club they email you a £5 voucher on your birthday to use online or in store, They will be perfect as you said Baileys_Babe for flour etc. Whilst on the subject of storage, I was looking at those over the door shoe hanger pocket things to clear the kids shoes which seem to be everywhere, I saw quite a few people storing their cleaning products in them from the photos online, I did also see one that had stored their packets in which looked really good.14
