Calpol

Calpol can only be administered to children whom we have written consent from their parent. Before giving Calpol to children, staff must contact the parent to ascertain whether any other Calpol/ paracetamol has been given before attending nursery. All parents should be telling us whether Calpol has been given before attending nursery. 

We will give 5ml of Calpol if a child’s temperature goes above 38′. This can only be administered by a member of the Senior Leadership Team. The Calpol administered form is completed and signed by the parent on collection. 

A child must not have more than 1 dose of Calpol in the nursery day.
