Your key person will always contact you should they have concerns about your child’s health and their best interests will always be at heart.

If your child is suffering from an illness and has been prescribed medication by your GP, then our staff can administer the medication with your written consent. If you see a member of staff in the office then we can provide you with a medication form for completion to grant us permission to administer the medicine.

Your child should have been on prescribed medication for at least 24 hours before returning to nursery to ensure that no allergic reaction is likely to occur.

You can download a medication form here for completion prior to attending nursery. Please ensure this is checked by a member of staff before you leave your child.
