Sickness and Illness

At Jurassic Childcare we understand that if a child is unwell, it is in their best interest to be in a home environment with adults they know well, rather than at nursery. Below we have compiled a guide to let you know when your child should stay at home.

When your child should stay home and visit a doctor

When their temperature is above 37.5°C
If they experience vomiting or diarrhoea
If spots appear on their hands, feet, or mouth area
If they develop chicken pox
If they have conjunctivitis
If they have an ear infection
If they develop impetigo
If they have been given Calpol before nursery

As a small nursery we follow our own guidance and policies, as like to make sure that children, families and staff are protected as much as possible from sickness and illness.

When you're child can come in

Once their temperture has returned to normal
48 hours after their last sickness and diarrhoea
Once spots have crusted over
48 hours after taking antibiotics
