over-cautious?

DS1 isn't allowed to go to nursery today because he did 2 diarrhoea-y poos yesterday - They seem to classify anything soft as diarrhoea. He is right as rain, tearing about, clearly perfectly well just one dirty nappy since then. it means I have to take a day off work to look after a percectly well child. Grrrr. I know they have to have rules, but there is so obviously nothing wrong with him - it's soooo inflexible.

it covers them. theyll be just as annoyed over inconveniencing a parent as you are, but if another child gets ill (even if very very unrelated) or has an accident- parents could say staff were distracted by ill child- nursery could be sued. and if they make an exception here, where do they draw the line? its annoying but makes 'modern' sense.

it usually has to be 24 hours since the last runny nappy, that the children are allowed back in. its just the nurserys policy. iv worked in nurseries for last 6 years. it is usually also their policy to send child home after two runny nappis
