Advice please.......

My 1yr old mindee was very sick this afternoon.
She began vomiting at around 2.45/3pm (she has lunch at 2pm) and by the time mum came to pick her up at around 4.30pm, she had vomited about 7 times (3 times sick and 4 times bile/water).

Mum has just text me to say that Mindee is in Hospital, as she hasn't stopped being sick and can't even keep water down :(

Poor little mite. :(

Do I need to write anything up (I had already filled in daily diary with the details)? Do I need to inform anyone that she is in hospital?

Any advice appreciated

yes you need to inform Ofsted

depending on the diagnoses you may have to informed EH (ie if its food poisoning for instance .....:blush: sorry for the suggestion)

hope LO makes a speedy recoveryx

oh how awful, poor little mite. good advice from Pip.

keep us updated hon. x

I would definitely write it up including what she had to eat whilst with you, how she was earlier in the day and the times, description of when she was sick.

I would telephone Ofsted tomorrow for advice. Whether you have to do anything else may depend on what the hospital thinks has caused the sickness.

Hope lo is a lot better tomorrow.

Thanks for replying so quickly.

Mindee had been a bit grizzly all day, she bought back some of her morning bottle of formula but as it was just a bit, I didn't think too much of it. She also had a runny nappy.

Parents supply a packed lunch which I keep in the fridge til needed.

I don't think it is food poisoning but more a tummy bug.

But I will inform Ofsted tomorrow anyway.

Update from Mum.
Mindee is fine, Dr thinks it is a tummy bug.
Mindee wasn't admitted, just looked at and Dr gave advice and sent her home.

Bless her xx

thats great news:clapping::clapping:

I think you still need to inform Ofsted that a hospital visit has happened because the child became more poorly whilst in your care.... I might be wrong on this though

You don't need to inform OFSTED of a hospital admission until they had to stay vernight. There's a link on the OFSTED site which sets out exactly what you need to tell them about

that's good news hon :thumbsup:
