Illness + Infection

It is the policy of Kidology Childcare to minimise the risk of cross infection among children and staff members. Parents/guardians or staff may seek advice if they are unsure if a child should be present at Kidology Childcare. We ask for the following to be adhered to:

• If your child becomes ill while in our care, parents are contacted immediately and you are asked to come to collect your child

• In order to limit the spread of infection, if a child becomes ill during the night, they should not be brought to Kidology Childcare the next day until they are 24 hours free from a high temperature etc

• If a child is kept away from Kidology Childcare due to an infectious illness, Kidology Childcare should be informed in order to monitor other children who may have been exposed and to prevent further outbreak

• Kidology Childcare will inform other parents whose children may have been exposed. Confidentiality will be respected

• If a child has had a contagious illnesses such as conjunctivitis, Impetigo, Hand Foot & Mouth etc a letter may be required from your GP to confirm the child poses no further health risk to other children or staff
