...Or would you keep them Home?

DD has only been going for a Few Months One Day a Week, first time she has been Poorly since starting.
I don't want to be THAT Parent who makes all of the other Toddlers sick but who knows how long it will last...
What would you do MNers?

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

A cold (snotty nose/ cough) i'd send them in but not if they had a temperature. My children have permanent colds from September to February!

A lot of toddlers would never be able to go if they were kept home with a cold!
I keep mine home if they have a temperature or are feeling ill/unhappy. If they are feeling generally well but are snotty/bunged up then they go.

Exactly my thoughts @MintedLamb, Colds can go on forever but as She We are new to the whole Nursery situation I'm not sure what the correct thing to do is!

If the snot is clear I’d say you’re ok. If it’s green keep her home.

I send my two if they have a runny nose but would keep them off if they were actually 'ill' as in temperature, feeling unwell etc.

Yy keep her home if she has a temperature, otherwise take her in. They're toddlers, they're not under 1.
