Children should not attend the setting whilst feeling unwell, have a temperature, or sickness and diarrhoea, or who have an infectious disease.
If a child or staff member has suffered from any diarrhoea and/or vomiting, they must not attend the setting until they have been symptom free for 48 hours.
If a child becomes ill during a session, we will contact an emergency contact listed on the registration form, to arrange collection of the sick child. The child will be cared for until collected.
If a child or staff member has a communicable disease, they should not attend the setting until they are no longer infectious.
The Care Inspectorate and NHS Borders Infection Control Nurse will be notified of any infectious diseases that a qualified medical person considers notifiable.
Parents/carers are required to notify the school directly if your child is absent through sickness.
Staff cannot administer any medicine to a child unless prescribed by a doctor. Should the child be on prescribed medication, it is the responsibility of the parent or carer to notify staff to sign the necessary form of consent.
Care Inspectorate regulations state that if a child is prescribed medication, parents must administer the first dose.
Parents must, as soon as possible, disclose to staff any known medical condition, health problem or allergy affecting the child, or any family circumstances or court order which might affect the child’s welfare or happiness, or any concerns about the child’s safety.

If your child is sick and will not attend, you must advise the setting as soon as possible each day they will not attend.
