Accidents
If a child has a minor accident, they will be dealt with by a member of staff who may seek advice from the qualified first aiders, Maria McLaughlin or Sam Nisbet. The accident is then recorded in the Accident Book by a member of staff, detailing time and as much detail as possible.
Most staff are paediatric first aid trained and can administer basic first aid. However, advice will always be sought from the qualified first aiders with an incident relating to a head injury/bump or more serious injuries.
When the child is collected the parent will be informed of the accident and asked to sign the accident book. There is more information available in our First Aid policy which is available in the nursery policy folder.
If a child has a head bump, we will always contact the parent to let them know and you will be issued with a head bump form when you come to collect your child.
