Immunisation Policy

At Little Phoenix Nursery we promote the routine vaccination schedule for children in accordance with the government’s health policy, January 2026.  We expect that children will have received the named vaccines at the age(s) stated as this has a direct positive impact on their health and wellbeing, as well as our community; we acknowledge that routine childhood immunisation is not mandatory. 

Parents must inform us if their children have not been vaccinated as per the schedule so that we can manage and minimise any risks to their own child or other children, staff and parents. The Nursery Manager must be aware of any children within the nursery who are not vaccinated in accordance with their age, whether for one or for more illnesses.

Our nursery does not discriminate against children who have not received their immunisations, recognising that some children may not be vaccinated due to their age, medical reasons or parental choice. We will make parents aware of this, but will not disclose individual details to other parents, however, we will share the risks of infection if children have not had immunisations and ask their parents to sign a disclaimer (see Appendix 2).

Parents are asked to record information about immunisations on children’s Enrolment Form and are required to update this information as and when necessary by email or via the Famly App,  including when the child reaches the age for the appropriate immunisations.
