Administering Medicines

Administering Medicines

At Barming Pre-School, your child's health and well-being are our priority. If your child needs prescribed medication during their session, we can administer it with your written permission.

To ensure medication is given safely, it must be in its original labelled container and accompanied by a completed medication form. Medication is always given by a member of staff and checked by a second staff member. We will let you know when medication has been administered and ask you to sign our records at collection time.

Please note that we can only administer prescribed medicines and are unable to give non-prescription medications, such as Calpol.

All medication is stored securely and, where needed, staff will receive additional training to support individual medical needs.

Please see our the School First Aid policy here.
