The term between October and December is generally a bad time for children becoming ill with colds/tummy bugs etc and this term has been no exception as we have had a number of children who have been absent from Nursery due to illness over the last few weeks.
Could we please kindly remind parents that if children are unwell that they be kept at home particularly with regard to ‘vomiting’ type illnesses where children should be clear of symptoms for 48 hours prior to returning to Nursery. We have had a couple of children over the last few days who have told staff that they have been sick during the night but have still come into Nursery but this risks passing on these bugs to the other children.
Staff have also been requested by parents to keep specific children indoors and for them to refrain from physical play (if they have colds etc), unfortunately due to staffing ratios and to ensure the safety of all our Nursery children this is not possible and again, if children are unwell we would be grateful if they could be kept at home until they are better. Many thanks for your help.
