Susan Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 What are the current guidelines for this please? Should a child be in nursery? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louby loo Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Well, I've just downloaded a A4 poster from out LA which says no exclusion needed! 'only need to stay off if the child feels ill' ........ That's not going to happen ..everyone knows poor little sad looking Johnny work up that morning saying 'mummy mummy I really want to go to preschool today' So mummy topped him up with calpol so he could come! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finleysmaid Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 hand foot and mouth is really contagious and can be caught by adults too...I would be excluding. Children tend to have very high (and spikey )temperatures with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFCCCC Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Public Health Infection Control Guidelines for schools and other childcare settings state that no time off is needed and that it only needs to be reported to the local HPT if several children have it at once. We usually advise parents they only need to stay at home if they feel poorly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not putting my poster up, yes older children may be well able to self regulate about how well they feel, they can also use a bit of common sense (hopefully) about their own personal hygiene and not chuck a tantrum because they want to play in the sand/water/playdough.

Stargrower Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 We don't exclude as per the guidance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
