Brush Bus Programme, this is available to children 2 yrs upwards, if staying after 1pm we will encourage them to be part of our Brush Bus scheme cleaning their teeth after lunch. Each child has their own individual toothbrush/paste provided.
Medicines:
If your child needs medication we will require you to fill out a medicine form when you arrive at nursery.
Only life saving medicines will be admitted – i.e. Inhalers / Epi Pens.
Short course medicine may be admitted – i.e. Amoxicillin.
All medicines will be stored correctly and they will need to be labelled with the child’s name and dosage.
Birthdays:
Birthdays are a special time for all children and we will make your child’s birthday memorable. We will sing to your child and record it on the Learningbook for you and we may have a special treat at snack time !!
Sickness:
Please let staff know as soon as possible if your child is unwell and not attending nursery.
Please DO NOT send your child back to nursery until clear for 48 hours after suffering sickness / diarrhoea.
Please think before sending your child to nursery if you think they are unwell. Not only is it unfair to them, it also puts the other children and staff at risk of infection.
Should a child become sick or have an accident at nursery, every effort will be made to contact parents / authorised adult before taking further actions.
