Children who are ill
It is at the manager’s discretion whether or not to allow a child into nursery if they are showing signs of illness, even if there is no exclusion period, if this is after any exclusion period has passed or if a doctor has stated that they are not infectious. The Manager will need to take into account the demeanour of the child and whether they are well enough to participate in nursery activities. They must also consider whether allowing a sick child in nursery would affect the staff to child ratios, as children who are unwell may require continual one to one attention. If we allow a child showing signs of illness or who has recently recovered from an illness into nursery then we will monitor them regularly and will contact parent/s to ask that they are collected if they become unwell again.

Does your child have any allergies?*
(conditions caused by hypersensitivity of the immune system to typically harmless substances in the environment. These diseases include hay fever, food allergies, atopic dermatitis, allergic asthma, and anaphylaxis.

Please note: Anti histamines/medication will only be administered based on the instructions of a qualified medical practitioner eg GP

A food intolerance is difficulty digesting certain foods and having an unpleasant physical reaction to them. The difference between a food allergy and sensitivity is the body's response. When you have a food allergy, your immune system causes the reaction. If you have a food sensitivity or intolerance, the reaction is triggered by the digestive system.

Yes

No
If yes, please give details of the cause and reaction. You must complete an allergy protocol and have it signed/confirmed by a medical practitioner before your child attends nursery.
Does your child have any medical concerns, additional needs and/or a disability?*
Including asthma, eczema, previous operations, glue ear etc)

Yes

No
If yes please give details
Does your child have any special dietary requirements?*
Dietary requirements: while we will provide food that meets allergy, religious and cultural requirements, we may not provide food that meet lifestyle choices. There may be an extra charge for foodstuffs that are purely for lifestyle choices and they need to meet certain requirements

Please note: You should provide us with details of any religious requirements as well as intolerances, food allergens etc

Yes

No
If yes, please give details
Immunisations*
