A copy of that policy will be offered to the parent in the information pack given to them at their first visit to sign. Parents need to sign parental consent form where they give permission for administer Calpol and First Aid.

I appreciate that working parents have to be able to go to work, however if a child is unwell then they will be better cared at the comfort of their own home with parent.

I will care for children with minor coughs and colds.

I will NOT CARE for children who are very unwell, infectious or running a high temperature as we need to consider the welfare of all the children in our care.

If a child has diarrhoea or sickness in the last 24 hours parents should not bring them.

Parents inform us that the child will absent and the reasons for absence.

If a child becomes ill whilst in our care I will:

• make them as comfortable as possible
• isolate them if necessary
• contact the parents immediately / if we I am unable to contact the parents I will contact people listed as emergency contact/

There is a supply of basic First Aid equipment and Calpol /Paracetamol/

I will not administer any Calpol unless it is agreed with parents.
I will not administer any other medicine unless it has been given from the parents and parent’s permission being obtained at the relevant time.

Any condition on advice of the Health Protection Agency in pandemic alert situation may necessitate the parents to keep their children home.
