Well, I've just downloaded a A4 poster from out LA which says no exclusion needed!

 

'only need to stay off if the child feels ill'

 

........ That's not going to happen :( ..everyone knows poor little sad looking Johnny work up that morning saying 'mummy mummy I really want to go to preschool today' So mummy topped him up with calpol so he could come!

hand foot and mouth is really contagious and can be caught by adults too...I would be excluding. Children tend to have very high (and spikey )temperatures with it.

 

Although obviously not medically trained- but I totally agree!

 

I'm not putting my poster up, yes older children may be well able to self regulate about how well they feel, they can also use a bit of common sense (hopefully) about their own personal hygiene and not chuck a tantrum because they want to play in the sand/water/playdough.

and much less likely to suffer from febrile convulsions too!
