Immunisation
When a child is enrolled in the centre, you will be asked to provide the Director with
your child’s immunisation certificate. An immunisation register is kept on all children so
it is important to provide evidence of updates to your child’s immunisation records.
We strongly recommend immunising your child. If you have chosen not to immunise your child,
we reserve the right to exclude your child from attending the centre if there are any instances
or reporting of people infected with vaccine preventable diseases in the local community.
We will work with the local medical authorities, the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of
Education to determine the period of exclusion. During this time, normal fees must be paid.
In some cases, staff may request a doctor’s certificate after your child has had a severe illness
before allowing your child to be readmitted to the centre. This is to protect your child as much
as it is to minimise the risk to other children and staff.
If your child appears to have ongoing or frequent reoccurring illnesses, such as a chronic
discharge from the nose, abnormal stools, we may ask you to seek medical advice. This is for
the protection of your own child, as well as minimising the risk to other children and staff.
