We are prepared to administer medication to children if it has been prescribed by a doctor, but we can’t give Calpol and other medication if it has been bought over the counter from a chemist. If your child has asthma or any other medical condition requiring medication we will need you to sign a form before we can give it to them. In some cases (such as epilepsy or severe food allergies) we may ask you to stay in the nursery building until staff have training on how to administer the medication. It is very important that you keep us updated on any changes in your child’s medical needs.
