DS Nursery want to see his Red Book?

[JC2021]

Is this usual? The nursery have requested to see my sons red book as apparently there is a bit they 'need to fill in'? He started last week.

I've got nothing to hide, but it is personal after all!

Any thoughts? Im guessing it's the immunisation bit they are interested in..?

Thx

I'm glad my DC nursery didn't ask. I never used the red books!

Nursery teacher here. We are expected to do the two year old check if it hasn't already been done by a heath visitor. We do ours around 27 months. The EYFS has a new updated curriculum and we now have a new form to fill in as part of this developmental check. We have just been sent new guidance that states to fill in the new form and keep it inside your child's red book. I think it's a way of keeping all of your child's milestones together for ease. They might just want to put this new form inside? But best practice is to have a meeting together with parents to fill it in together to discuss your child's progress and next steps. I won't be asking my parents to send in their red books as I agree they are personal and hold confidential information.

never been asked - would not have given it either, its irrelevent

how many kids dont go nursery? they dont need to provide it

At my dc nursery a few years ago they checked immunisation status and wouldn’t admit a child till they’d seen the red book
