Sickness
Sick Children
I will contact you if your child becomes ill or is injured whilst in my care and the incident will be recorded. The type of illness or injury will govern whether the child should be collected. My setting has a suitably stocked First Aid Box which I will use based on your signed permission slip. Emergency first aid will be sought if necessary, based on your signed permission form.
If you child is already ill, please contact me before attending your session because I may not be able to accept the child until they have recovered. Please see the following table:
