Yes, it is a legal requirement that children attending the Centre are immunised according to the government schedule. You will be asked upon enrolment and periodically during attendance to provide copies of immunisation details. If your child has not been immunised for a specific reason, please contact the Centre Coordinator to discuss.
The Centre adheres to the Children’s Services Regulations in relation to the issuing of medication and will only do so in accordance with Doctors instructions. If your child has a chronic illness which may require ongoing medication (such as asthma or similar), please contact the Centre Coordinator to discuss arrangements.
Depending on the nature of the illness, you child will be cared for by a staff member away from other children in the Centre until such time as you can collect them from the Centre. Staff may request a clearance certificate from a Doctor prior to your child returning to care.
In most cases you will not be able to send your child to care whilst they are ill, particularly where the nature of the illness is infectious. The Centre is guided by the government guidelines on exclusion periods for illnesses, during which time you will need to arrange alternative care for your child.
