Thanks.

I dont think there is one officially. Most agree to keep them off until its cleared up for the sake of others but some places let them continue attending

Just looked on the guidance on infection control and it says there is no recommended period to be kept away from childminders setting. It is quite contagious but starts to clear up quite quickly once the drops are given.
