Sick-day cover plan

When a child is too unwell for nursery/daycare (per our paediatrician or family doctor or clinic guidance, not your diagnosis), help us decide cover: who can take the day, what work meetings to move, and a short message to their workplace for my approval. Do not send or cancel anything without asking.

🩺 Organising help only. Check health decisions with your doctor, midwife or vet.
