Medication and Illness

Medication and Illness

We appreciate that at times children are ill; we will endeavor to support you through these times as effectively as possible.

We are more that happy to administer any medication that has been prescribed by a GP.  A child prescribed Antibiotics can return to Nursery once they have taken the medication for 48 hours providing that they are not poorly or had any adverse reactions.  After this time we will continue to administer it on your behalf.  Calpol and Nurofen cannot be administered to cover an illness or maintain a child at Nursery.

Calpol or Nurofen will only administered to those children who are teething. If there is an emergency and the child has a temperature, it can be administered with prior consent from the parents and on the condition that someone will collect the child from Nursery.

We will require prior written consent in order to administer any medication for ongoing conditions, such as: Asthma, Eczema and Nappy Rash Cream.

If you believe that your child is unwell, we ask that you carefully consider whether Nursery is the most suitable place for them.

With a contagious illness or condition children will be excluded from Nursery for the appropriate time, in line with Health Authority regulations and guidelines.
