Mealtimes & Illness

MEALTIMES

Please provide your child with a packed lunch. We provide healthy snacks as this is an essential part of your child’s development.
We encourage regular drinks of water as keeping hydrated is crucial for health and well-being. Drinking water also boosts your child’s productivity and helps them to concentrate and feel revitalised throughout the day.

ILLNESS

We can accept children who develop infectious illnesses such as chicken pox after the incubation period. Children should be kept at home for 48 hours following a bout of sickness and/or diarrhoea i.e. 48 hours from the last vomiting/diarrhoea episode. We can only administer labelled medication that has been prescribed by a health professional along with parent’s written permission.

CHILD PROTECTION

We care greatly about the welfare of your child at all times. As registered providers it is our duty to protect the children in our care. Should we have any reason to be concerned about a child’s welfare then we will follow the correct procedures within our policies.
