Hi there,
I am due my 1st inspection this week, and my son has come down with chickenpox! It started Friday, so I informed the parent of the children I mind and she had no problem with her children still coming to me, as she said my son will have been contagious when her children were there the days before. So I picked them up from school and looked after them Friday, no problems.
My inspection is either tomorrow (Monday) or Friday, as these are the only days I have the children. It has already been postponed 3 times by Prospect.
If Prospect were to turn up tomorrow, would I be in trouble for having minded children when my boy is sick? I don't have a written infections policy, but if a mindee was ill I would refer to the HPA guidance. As I care for siblings and no other children, I would be happy to care for them if they had chickenpox, if that was ok with the parent.
Help please! I really want to get my inspection done with, as I have been ready for weeks now, but don't want to get a negative report because of chickenpox.
Thanks,
Laura
