Temperature and nursery

I picked up my little boy from nursery early yesterday as he had a temp (38 after calpol). This morning it’s 37.8 without calpol yet. I’ve googled and 37.8 sounds like it’s high for a child but above 38 is considered a fever.

At what temp can you send your little one to nursery? Im new to all these nursery bugs 🤦🏼‍♀️

As long as it’s not over 38. You may find once he is up and about and outside it will naturally come down a bit more. 37.8 without calpol is good. If he doesn’t seem well in himself and u think he will spike then don’t send him.

Just check your nursery's policy as with our if the child has been sent home with temp then she can't go back for 24 hours.
