Well child policy

Well child policy

 

Aim of policy

 

To give practitioners and parents guidance on how we judge a child to be well enough to attend nursery.

 

Points to consider

 

The health and wellbeing of the children in our care is of the utmost importance to us. However as every child is different we use the definition of a well child along with information from the Health Protection Agency to decide if a child is well enough to attend nursery.

 

 

Castle Daycare and Preschool aim to achieve this by:

 

 

The definition of a well child:

 

• A child who is not dependent on Calpol or similar.
• A child with normal bowel movements.
• A child who participates in activities as they normally would.
• A child who does not require a greater ratio.

 

Standard adult child ratios are:

1: 3 children under two years

1:4 children aged two to three years

1:8 children aged three to five
