Just a polite notice as we are very flexibile with days, if you find that ur child is poorly with coughs colds and needs calpol to get through the day please could we try and keep them home, as much as we try to illiminate germs etc we have no control over children coughing and runny noses so it’s impossible to keep germs away but we are finding it going round in circles with illnesses and due to it being close to Christmas please be mindful of other children at our settings xx many thanks Caroline smith ❤️
