A NURSERY in Flintshire will be closing its doors due to the current coronavirus outbreak.

Debra Ratcliffe, managing director at the Holywell Child Care Ltd, took to social media today (March 24) to inform the public that services will be suspended until further notice due to the virus pandemic.

She posted: "After lots of soul searching, as we are all worried about the current situation we have decided to close from today.

"We have come to this difficult decision as we need to think about the children mixing and possibly mixing with other children from different areas if we accept key worker children in and staff having to travel on buses etc.

"We will initially be closed for three weeks from yesterday.

"Invoices will be put on hold for now.

"I will keep you updated on Facebook and by email of any changes.

"I hope everyone stays safe and well."
