Testimonial
I would like to say a very big thank you for all your guidance, help and support during my time at Rathlee. I have learnt so much and really do not want to leave but I am a big girl now and will soon be going to big school. I have made a lot of lovely friends here and hope my new friends will be as nice as you all are.
Sick Child Exclusion Policy
We take the health and well being of all our children very seriously, whilst we understand the difficulties of you're getting to the nursery at short notice, we will only contact you if we consider it necessary and would appreciate your co-operation when your child is ill.
Your child's condition will be assessed by a senior member of staff, who will then contact you or any emergency contact's to inform you of the child's illness.
Exclusion
The following conditions all require your child staying at home until he/she has recovered.
- Acute skin rash
- Acute sore throat
- Conjunctivitis
- Diarrhoea and vomiting
- Oral thrush
- Infectious diseases i.e. Chicken Pox, Measles etc.
If any child is suspected as having any of the above, you will be contacted. We will ask you to collect your child as soon as possible to avoid the risk of infecting other children. We would ask you to take your child to a doctor for confirmation. If other parents need to be informed, a letter will be sent out (Keeping your child's name confidential).
Headlice and Threadworms are common childhood complaints. If your child contracts either of these conditions, we advise you to seek advice from your G.P. or pharmacy on how to manage these conditions. Children may return to nursery after 24 hrs, once treatment has started.
Children must stay at home for 48 hours following a case of diarrhoea and or vomiting and when antibiotics have been prescribed, in order to prevent the spread of infection.

Medication will be administered under the following guidelines:
- All medication MUST be labelled with the child's name, date of dispensing and dosage.
- Requests for administering medication must be written in the room diary and signed by the parent
- Medication will only be administered by a senior member of staff (Management) and witnessed by another member of staff.
- All medication administered will be recorded on the child's record sheet and signed by management and staff member.
- Parents will then be asked to countersign the medicine form on collection.
