A half terms written notice is required if you no longer require the place, if you wish to withdraw your child or make changes to your child’s session days.

Accidents and Illness

The Pre-School reserves the right to administer first aid and any emergency treatment as required. Parents will be informed of all accidents and will be asked to sign and accident record form. If emergency treatment at hospital is required the Pre-School will make all reasonable attempts to contact the parents, but if this is not possible we are authorised to act on behalf of the parents and authorise any necessary emergency treatment.              

We will administer medicines only if the parents have completed a medicine consent form.    

We may require parents to withdraw their child from the Pre-School in the event that they require special medical care or attention which is not available or refused by the parent, or it is considered that the child is not well enough to attend Pre-School. We may also ask parents to withdraw their child from Pre-School if we have reasonable cause to believe that the child is suffering from or has suffered from any communicable disease or infection. Please refer to our health and illness and emergency policy regarding exclusion and incubation periods by which we are bound. Parents must inform the Pre-School if the child is suffering from any illness, sickness or allergies before attending the Pre-School. The Pre-School is mindful of the needs of working parents and will endeavour to provide continuity of service as possible within the recommendations of the health protection agency by which the Pre-School is bound.
