Vaccinations and nursery schools

This is my first post so forgive me if I do anything wrong!

I am just beginning to look at nursery schools for my 15 month old son, and I am a bit surprised that they don't seem to care whether or not he has been vaccinated. I expected it to be a requirement.

It seems incredible to me that I have to provide evidence of my cat's jabs to the cattery but when it comes to children anything goes.

Has anyone come across a nursery school in the UK that does require it?

statistics show that children who have not been vaccinated have had less hospital admissions for viral related illness and less stomach issues than those who have,

Statistics do not show this at all. It was badly drawn up research by antivaxers, which was subsequently withdrawn, your dc clearly are not "informed"

Interestingly both my children now 19 and 16 were vaccinated and neither have ever been to hospital for illness. Dd has had surgery for a tooth not coming through and needing it removed and will under go jaw surgery but that wasn't caused by being vaccinated.

My Dd also had to jaw surgery, because of a tooth not coming through. It must be because she had all her vaccinations
We can write some new research on this new finding, self publish . Im sure some antivax website will pick it up.
