Dear Parents and Carers,
RE: Health Guidance Reminder
We would like to remind you of important health guidance from the NHS regarding vomiting and diarrhoea. According to NHS advice, children who have been unwell with vomiting or diarrhoea should stay away from school or nursery until at least 48 hours after the symptoms have completely stopped. This helps reduce the risk of spreading infection to others in the school community.
We also encourage regular hand-washing with soap and warm water, especially after using the toilet and before eating, as this is one of the most effective ways to prevent the spread of germs. At this time of year, coughs, colds and other viruses are circulating more widely, so good hygiene helps keep everyone healthy.
For full NHS guidance on diarrhoea and vomiting, please see:

Thank you for your continued support.
Yours sincerely,
School Office
