This guide is to give you information on our infection control policy and the procedures should your child become unwell.  Our policy follows the guidelines set out by the Health Protection Agency and Ofsted regarding infection control.



The purpose of this document is to help us ensure a safe and healthy environment for all children within our care. At Cherry Childcare to reduce the risk of infections we:

•    Provide protective clothing for staff in accordance with company procedures.

•    Have daily, weekly and monthly routine sterilising processes in place.

•    Outside contract cleaners clean premises daily.

•    If an outbreak occurs a deep clean is completed in the appropriate area/s.

It is a fact that children will get ill.  By following the guidelines in this policy it reduces unnecessary exposure to illnesses and ensures infections are managed effectively creating a happy and healthy Nursery for all.

If at any time there are any infectious diseases present at the Nursery this will be clearly displayed at the entrance to the room where the infection has occurred.

This leaflet will cover:

What happens if my child is ill at Nursery?

What happens if my child is ill at home?

Key guidelines for exclusion.

Information for Pregnant Mothers.

Should your child become ill they should only return to Nursery when your child is over any symptoms in accordance with the guidelines shown in this policy leaflet.
