MEDICATION POLICY

Only medicine prescribed by the child's General Practitioner will be given to the child.

Medicines must be labeled with the following details:-
  • The child's name
  • The exact dosage required.
  • Time or times of day it is to be given.


The Parent must complete a Nursery consent form with all the relevant details and the giving of medicines will always be witnessed by the Officer in charge or the Deputy Officer in charge. Medicines will always be given by a qualified member of staff.

The Nursery will ensure that this record is kept up to date.

All medicines will be kept away from the children and stored safely and appropriately.
Once the medication is no longer needed or has run out the bottle or container will be returned to the parent.

Non-prescription medication eg pain and fever relief medication may be administered, but only with the prior written consent of the parent and only when there is a health reason to do so. A child under 16 can not be given medicines containing asprin unless it has been prescribed for that child by a doctor.
