Most children will at some time have a medical condition that may affect their participation in nursery activities. For many this will be short term perhaps finishing prescribed medication even though the child’s doctor regards the child as fit to attend school. Others have medical conditions which, without help, could limit their access to nursery.
Parents have prime responsibility for their child’s health and should provide schools with information about their child’s medical condition..png)
Please contact the Head of Nursery to discuss this.
If your child is required to take prescribed medicine during Nursery time, a form must be completed by a parent. All medication must be handed to the management team and will be kept in a locked cupboard. Any child who requires medication on a regular basis will be added to our medical needs list for staff to access to ensure that they care for all children’s medical needs. Some medical conditions may require a health care plan which will be organised in consultation with the Head of the Nursery.
Please note staff can only administer medicine if the parent has given the first dosage to ensure their child has no allergies to the medication. Any medications will be accepted at the Head of Nursery’s discretion.
