I have a 1 year old who has started attending nursery and has already been sent home twice with illness within 1 month, meaning I had to take 4 days off work. I understand that he had not been exposed to bugs before so the first few months will be more difficult. However, in general what number of days per year can I expect to be caring for my sick child? I worry that at this rate we won't have any annual leave left for actual holidays... :(
