Think this is a copy from the DofH.

Oh, just read the conjunctivitus bit .

It is NO LONGER an exclusion as long as it is being treated...so parents must have seen the doc or chemist and got drops or cream and given them to you to use. If they turn up without treatment you can send them home.

This looks thorough too and it's done for childminders,albeit in Wales,can't imagine theres a big difference in infections across the border, it looks good.
