Advice from registered childminders please.
So on Monday gone, a child came in with hfm and as the blisters became apparent at this point was sent home. A few days later other children had very high fevers and sent home, spots have appeared on Friday gone, parents agreed this is hfm. I'm in a position now where I think I may well be coming down it with it myself, fever chills sore throat.im aware the spots come a few days after symptoms begin. My sickness policy is 7 days off with hfm so the children sent home on Thursday won't be back till then. I'm wondering though if u close to my other mindees tomorrow I know I will need to refund the charges as they pay in advance but what of these children who currently have hfm and not due back to Thursday. As a childminder in this position would u pay them their fees back or keep the money as they are unwell and not able to return till Thursday. Advice appreciated thanks
