If children are taking antibiotics, they should not attend the child minder.

Although if they are on a long course of antibiotics and are nearing the end and are otherwise fit and healthy, they may attend and I will administer the antibiotics. All details will be entered in the medicine book and signed by both the parent and myself.

If a child is found to be ill the parents will be contacted and will need to collect their child immediately or else send a designated adult to take their child home. This is for the protection of all the children and of myself. If I cannot work then everyone loses out.

EMERGENCY PLAN

I am first aid trained and I will ensure that this training is always kept up to date.

In an emergency I would contact parents as soon as possible and ask them to collect their child/children. If there are any supported day care children in my care, they will accompany me at all times until their parents arrive. They will not be left with anyone else.
