Comments: At last a common sense approach - thank goodness. It was rediculous having to sign a form everyday that you thought your child might require calpol, especially when you sign a form when you register with the nursery to say that they can give emergency medicine. This is great as it is now in line with other nursery's. Thank you so much.

Comments: Having read your recent email regarding a change to the administration of medicine to a child, I would like to express that I would wish to be informed prior to any medication being administered. Whilst I have no objection to the use of calpol, in principle, I would like to know the reason for its use prior to it being given especially if my child has a high temperature. I am not so familiar with the side effects or worries associated with piriton which I believe is an anti histamine. I would like to have this information as a parent prior to giving consent for it's use.

Comments: I really love this nursery and my daughter is settling in really well! I'm so pleased about this change in policy; from experience at my son's nursery, it is great that they can administer calpol for a high temperature. In most cases this works wonders and the child is fine after a short while! But does this mean that they still have to be collected from nursery? At my son's nursery he would be monitored and if he was still unwell after a certain time, then I would be asked to collect him.

Comments: I see this as a very positive change in policy which addresses the child's needs promptly and reduces the stress of parent to rush to the nursery immediately.

Comments: I think the common sense approach to medicine is indeed the way to go. Makes a lot more sense for the nursery staff who see the kids day in day out to take a decision on giving the little person simple medicines like that rather then having to get the parents sign off - assuming allergies etc have been taken into account.

Comments: This is a very sensible change, I agree with it wholeheartedly. I have no issues at all with the care at Max's nursery but your previous medicine policy was something I was unhappy with and felt was more about protecting the nursery than looking after the children, well done for addressing this.
