My 21mo DS3 is anaphylactic to nuts and CMP. His ana reaction to CMP is by far quicker and more severe than his ana reaction to nuts. He even reacts to secondary contact and to trace amounts in things like makeup and deodorants.
There are 2 preschools and 2 Nurseries local to me that do the free hours.
I can't get any further than those as I am a Lone Parent and have to drop older DC at Primary, on public transport as I can't drive because of epilepsy.
1 preschool and both Nurseries have refused
point blank.
I had an allergy management meeting with the last preschool, and that doesn't look too promising either.
They have instantly said that they are a nut free preschool, but in the same breath say that they can't be a totally CMP free preschool. Do they not see the irony?
My DS3 also has other issues, been diagnosed as 'hyperactive with a high likelihood of ADHD diagnosis when older", and is also under investigation for Autism.
He will be impulsive, he will touch other food if it is there.
Why is one allergy treated so much differently to another?
If they can't keep him safe, then I have no preschool for him. He already can't go to toddler group because he has had ana reactions there.
I can't afford private costs, and I can't afford to travel any further to get him to another preschool, both in financial terms and time constraints. He needs social interaction even more than most due to the possible Autism.
I won't be able to afford to get him to support groups etc or HE groups or anything, because they are all held on other estates in my town,
two buses away. And if they are held at weekends, then I also have my older 3 DC's to pay bus fares for.
Where do you go from there?

Allergies and intolerances
I don't think my DS3 can go to preschool.
