Childcare Settings Infection Prevention and Control

Health Protection Scotland has produced a national guidance document on the prevention and control of infection in childcare settings. This guidance was updated in 2018. The guidance is for childminders and staff working within nurseries, day-care centres, playgroups, crèches, children’s centres, after-school and holiday clubs. It should also be used by staff involved in all outdoor activities for children. 

For a quick guide to the exclusion criteria for children in the settings above please click on the link. This Guidance can be downloaded and laminated for display in relevant areas.
