Little Fishes Pre-School

28/09/2026

IMPORTANT!!
A reminder for all parent/ carers in regards to our illness/ sickness policy in regards to the giving of medication.

If children are given or require medication such as Calpol/ paracetamol, ibuprofen to regulate temperature or manage symptoms of an illness, they are not well enough to attend Pre-School and will not be allowed to attend till it has been 24 hours since the last dose of medication.

This is because medication can mask other emerging symptoms of contagious illness as listed below and if we are unaware of what medication they were given and they had a medical emergency we would not have the correct information to give to medical personal.

This is to protect all the children that attend Pre-School and reduce the spread as we have many children who are medically vulnerable.

Staff can give prescribed medication such as Inhalers, a medication form needs to filled out.

If they are taking antibiotics, they are not well enough to be in Pre-School for the first 72 hours in case of a reaction, they also need to be well and symptom free before attending Pre-School, this is all in consultation with management.

In addition, we cannot accept children into Pre-School If they are suffering from any infectious diseases Including,
Chicken pox
Impetigo
Conjunctivitis
Hand foot & mouth
Scarlett fever

Diarrhoea or sickness—48 hours clear of symptoms

A temperature over 38, if children require medication to regulate temperature, they are not well enough to attend Pre-School and need to be fever free for 24 hours.

If you are ever in doubt please ring or message to clarify before bringing your child to Pre-School

Key universal services to access
Dentist

Taking your under-5 to an NHS dentist ensures their dental development is monitored early, prevents painful and costly tooth decay, and helps them get comfortable with the clinic environment. Best of all, NHS dental care is completely free for all children under 18

You can find your nearest NHS dentist by searching on

Find a dentist near you on the NHS website for routine and urgent dental care. Check opening times, contact details and facilities.

Key Universal services to access
Opticians- Eye health
Taking your under-5 to an optician is essential because up to 20% of young children have undetected sight conditions. Because children don't know what "normal" vision looks like, they won't complain. Regular tests catch conditions like lazy eye (amblyopia) or squints early while they are highly treatable.

Find out more information at

Find an opticians and see if you are entitled to free NHS eye tests.
