Illness

Within a nursery there is always an amount of illness and sickness that goes around.

We try very hard to stop the spread of certain illnesses by maintaining a very high standard of cleanliness, for example, washing hands after every nappy change, spraying the changing mat with antibacterial cleaner and keeping eating and changing areas hygienic and clean.

As parents you can also help by keeping your child at home if they have diarrhea and sickness and by ensuring that children with conjunctivitis do not return to the nursery until they have drops and by keeping children at home with any infectious illness or unexplained rashes, until your Doctor has diagnosed it and said that your child may return.

If your child becomes unwell with an infectious illness they can not attend the nursery for a minimum of 48 hours after the symptoms have stopped.
