Illnesses?

[Hebs]

what type of illnesses require us to close??

[uf353432]

sickness and diarrhea and any notifiable diseases.

how do you mean Hebs - if you or yours has something?

If you can isolate the person who is ill (ie one of your kids) then you could technically remain open and follow hygiene procedures notify parents and give them a choice.

Do you mean illness such as :

E.coli
Salmonella

yes, thats what i meant

i have a really bad cough :laughing: slowly sharing it about :blush:

[Pipsqueak]

I would say if its making you feel like poop and you need a couple of days to get over it - take the time to get well again.:thumbsup:

[kindredspirits]

if i have a cold etc i call parents and explain i will work (if i need the money) but if they choose not to send their child then i won't charge as i am ill.
i don't think you HAVE to close if its a cough/cold etc - i would be constantly closed between october and march if that was the case! :rolleyes:

[Hebs]

i feel fine, loosing my voice tho :laughing:

i just feel bad that i'm passing it round, none of my parents have said they wont send their kids, just the "oh you sound rough" comments :laughing:

Yes I too get the 'you sound rough' comments, usually after they tell me in a really chirpy voice looking very well, that they aren't feeling so good and are going home to bed, whilst I look and undoubtedly feel 10 times worse get to look after their child for the day!!!

[Dragonfly]

Makes me laugh(not!) is when they say "you sound rough,"but never suggest you have a day off to get better!!:(

[suzyblue]

I had a parent come to the door once and I said "Gosh you look rough, are you ill?" and they replied "No I just havent got my make up on!!"
WHOOPS:D

I think you should pass it back and help build up their immune system!

Couldnt agree more!

Im currently sharing the same sore throat back - DH has come down with it tonight and Ive had it for 4 days now, as has one of the parents and 2 of the kids I mind (different families) - now on my way to share it with everyone else..... (only fair as one of mindees parents had it first and took a couple of days in bed whilst I looked after her 'croaky sounding child' who she gave calpol to 'just in case' - yeah right.....) :rolleyes:
