Hi all. I am just starting my LO at a chuldminder and mostly they seem lovely. However I've just seen a newsletter that she's put on an online portal complaining that she and her staff are fed up of kids being sent in poorly and that it's spreading illness and even made her think about packing it all in 
I don't know what has triggered her to say this but it felt a bit unreasonable and has worried me a bit. It's unfair to take children in if they're really poorly, of course it is, but at the end of the day we mostly send our children to childcare because we have no other choice. I'd rather be caring for my child myself but I have to return to work or I'll lose my job. And kids can get ill really quick. Mine can be bouncing off the walls one minute then just slump and get a fever the next. So my question is how ill is too ill? Coz sorry I can't afford to not take her in the minute she has the slightest sniffle. I would personally not take my child in if I REALISED that she was feverish/vomitting/watery diarrhoea or if she was visibly very distressed by symptoms of an illness. Anything else then sorry but we'd be expected as adults to still go to work with a bit of a cough or cold so it should be fine for our child to be out and about too. Otherwise tbh I might as well just jack in my job and look after her FT because my daughter for one pretty much permanently has the snuffles at this time of year. Am I being reasonable or is there something I'm missing? Can somebody please educate me on what good etiquette is in these situations. Thanks
