Introduction

The staff working at this nursery have undertaken a first aid training course specifically for young children.  Senior staff also undergo further training courses specifically for individual children’s medical needs.  We also complete with parents, the recommended DFES medical needs folder, which aims to support children with on-going medical needs, as good practise doctors and health visitors are closely involved with this process.

If your child is suffering from an infectious illness, we kindly request that your child does not attend the nursery until they have been given the all clear.  If your child is taking prescribed medication, which requires repeated dosage during the day, we ask for accompanying written instructions to be entered into the medication book, the senior staff will ensure that this is administered.

If your child becomes unwell whilst in our care, we will contact you to arrange for collection.

If your child has an accident whilst in our care, we will contact you immediately, and we will be responsible for ensuring that the correct action is taken.  If this necessitates hospital treatment a member of staff will accompany your child.
