Nutfield is committed to providing a safe and healthy environment for its students. We follow the standards set out by the Health & Safety Manual for NH Childcare Providers.
Health Forms
You will receive a health form for your child at the time of registration. In order for your child to attend school, we must have this form completed by your physician and returned to us by the first day of school in September. Health forms need to be updated annually.
Medication Authorization
If your child needs to receive medication during the day, an authorization form must be filled out by your physician and kept on file at school.
Emergency Information Forms
Each family will fill out an Emergency Information Form. This gives us permission to transport your child to the nearest hospital (Parkland Medical Center) in case of an emergency. It tells us where you can be reached in case of an emergency, gives us the names of people to call in case you cannot be reached, and lists alternative pick-up people.
Accident Report
If an accident occurs while your child is at school, an accident report will be filled out. The report will be reviewed with you and signed by you, any witnesses, and the Director. The report is kept on file at the school.
