Managing allergies

We are aware that children may have allergies which may cause allergic reactions. We will follow our allergies and allergic reaction policy  to ensure allergic reactions are prevented and staff are fully aware of how to support a child who may be having an allergic reaction.

Once a child with a known allergy joins the child, the key person will inform the cook and the allergy lists will be updated in all the rooms.

Our cook also has an allergen folder which has details of all the ingredients of what goes into the meal cooked at the nursery. She will check this to ensure that she does not miss any vital information.

All staff in each room has easy access to the allergy list which they routinely check before any food is served to a child.
