HEALTH

Since our children are in close contact with each other and therefore susceptible to infections and illnesses, it is advisable that seriously sick children remain at home.

Children with minor illnesses can attend the crèche, but remember to sign your child in and out giving clear instructions to the caregivers concerned regarding medication, please ask for the medical register.

Although every necessary precaution will be taken to prevent accidents, some still occur.
A well equipped first aid kit is available and all staff are trained in first aid, CPR and emergency situations.

In case of an emergency, your child will be taken to the nearest hospital (Linksfield Clinic) or doctor and you will be notified immediately.

Please inform the caregivers of any allergies or special needs your child may have before he or she enters the crèche.

It is vital that we are aware of these.
