If they are ill, do I need to pick up?

This depends on the severity – if a child has a cold but is happy in themselves, it’s absolutely ok for them to stay. However, if it is contagious then they will need to be picked up! Refer to our illness policy which you can find on our Policies and Procedures page. If your child has had vomiting or diarrhoea, please do not let them return to nursery until 48hr from their last bout.
