Happy Little Angels Day Nursery

Immunisation

We recognise, where possible, that children are vaccinated in accordance with the government’s health policy and their age. If children are not vaccinated, it is the responsibility of the parents to inform the nursery to ensure that children/staff/parents are not exposed to any unnecessary risks of any sort. The nursery manager must be aware of any children who are not vaccinated within the nursery in accordance with their age.

Parents need to be aware that some children may not be vaccinated in the nursery. This may be due to their age, medical reasons or parental choice. Our nursery does not discriminate against children who have not received their immunisations and will not disclose individual details to other parents. However, we will share the risks of infection if children have not had immunisations and ask parents to sign a disclaimer.

Information regarding immunisations will be recorded on children’s registration documents and should be updated as and when necessary, including when the child reaches the age for the appropriate immunisations.

Staff vaccinations policy

It is the responsibility of all staff to ensure they keep up to date with their vaccinations for:

Tetanus
Tuberculosis
Rubella
Hepatitis
Polio

and keep the nursery informed.

If a member of staff is unsure as to whether they are up to date, then we recommend that they visit their GP or practice nurse for their own good health.

Emergency information

Emergency information must be kept for every child and should be updated every six months with regular reminders to parents in newsletters, at parents’ evenings and a reminder notice on the Parent Information Board.

Staff must ask parent to bring along their Red Medical Book.
